The “now” of this comic is actually 2014, almost a decade ago.
Wonder what the actual “now” cell would contain today. I guess a screenshot of this comment about it being a decade old.
2014 wasn’t a decade… ago, oh my fucking god.
As far as I’m concerned, it was the 90s about a month ago.
That’s it, I’m going to my local skate shop and buying a skateboard. Electric of course, because my knees are fucking shot.
The fact that there are still skate shops proves my point. I truly am 2 Legit 2 Quit.
It’ll be this https://xkcd.com/1683/
But how to decode that data. Better hope they find some info on character encodings too.
That, and it would be in portrait mode, with a video playing. And ads taking up a third or the screen.
That explains why there was no 2010s panel
TikTok, and not being able to break away from it
It would contain just a big “E”
Deep fried memes were also 5 years ago though
No, not deep fried, surreal or absurd
Same thing, but on a phone :v
2010’s = You show your IRL friends the cool fresh meme you found
2020’s = Endless doomscrolling to escape a dystopian, sick & crumbling world
2030’s = 💥 💀
2040’s = The Missing Decade
2050’s =

That’s the point of the comic, it would basically just be the same panel with more ads each time. We’re caught in a techno-cultural recursion.
Think about the difference between pre-smart phone and post-smart phone. Now think about the difference between the last generations of iphones.

I keep trying to get this through to my wife, who burns herself out frequently with some dire consequences.

Memes are free. Everything else is a subscription.
It’s suicide by meme
Facebook??? Think I remember MySpace having most of the 2000s. Even then, I used Yahoo!, AIM, and MSN way more lol.
Son of a bitch!
You’re not allowed to do this to me 😭

Instead of tamagochi it should be messenger
Messenger? Like blackberry messenger or something?
MSN messenger likely. But that didn’t come out until 1999.
msn messenger mostly, but also mIRQ and stuff like that
Edit: damn I just discovered that msn messenger was introduced in 1999. I thought it was older
Very clever
