The main point they were making is that the meme is particularly old, pre-dating the modern Internet - the dominant medium of memes. As such, you could certainly say, perhaps somewhat hyperbolically, that it’s one of the first. Not sure why some people expect whatever another writes in an internet comment to be 100%, to-the-letter, literally true, when that’s not at all how we use language from day to day.
Not sure why you can’t directly address me? I’m the one making the argument. Don’t sit in your high horse, “OH well s o m e p e o p le…”
And don’t generalize how every one uses language, thank you. I prefer direct, factual speaking, where I don’t misattribute or make things up for the sake of hyperbole, otherwise known as lies.
