    If they can read the English of this era and cats are still around, yes they will. The expression is pretty universal as depicting satisfied smugness.

    If you’re not a stoner and a fan of Adult Swim or an internet person: You wouldn’t get this meme right fucking now.

    You have to have at least seen the clip from Tim & Eric: Awesome Show, Great Job to understand it and that is a pretty big ask for a super niche show that doesn’t have mainstream appeal. lol

    If you wish to know more, search “Tim & Eric free real estate”

    The fact that the reply used “hieroglyphics” and cats have been pulling this shit longer ago than those were used as written language… And said poster’s argument was that “someday” that wouldn’t be the case?

    Have they met a fucking cat?!

    There’s gonna be that one academic weirdo in 1000 years who’s focus is “Memes and Internet History of the 21st Century”.

        There’s def already stuff like interpreting use of emojis. For example sometimes you have text messages show up in a court case and there are people who can officially “interpret” what the emojis mean for the court.

          And the Ship of Theses is when you rewrite the seven parts of your dissertation so many times that you’re not sure if it’s even your original intent anymore
