YTMND Is Back, Dog!

Here’s the only good news anybody has heard in weeks, if not months: YTMND lives again. The ancient meme site that sprung fully-formed from the head of Finding Forrester collapsed in May 2019 after years of decline, with a “catastrophic” database failure wiping out much of its history. Considering it had already been on life support for years, due in part to the long phase out of Flash, many assumed the site was totally done for. Even though it was known that its archives had been preserved, so much seemed to be stacked against the site—finances, the archaic technology, the fact that infinitely looping seconds-long memes were probably never intended to be permanent anyway, and more. For all intents and purposes You’re the Man Now Dog seemed to be dead last year, even though it still existed in a greatly reduced version of itself.
