It's always nice—although sometimes embarrassing—to walk down memory lane. Looking at an old piece of clothing at the back of your wardrobe, stumbling across that old screenshot from two years ago, your dog showing up with a ball it found under the sofa after five years, or getting a whiff of that familiar smell of a burnt turkey instantly take us back in time.

Something else that triggers notable memories are memes that are classic, ancient, and never fail to make us chuckle. They are from a forgotten era of the internet before TikTok took over our lives, Pedro Pascal became "internet daddy," and Elon Musk bought Twitter to live stream fart noises at 2 in the morning.
