T-Rex Meme Joking That People Born In The 1900s Are As Old As Dinosaurs
Text content
I was born in 19-
Overview
This meme displays a realistic paleoart illustration of a Tyrannosaurus rex standing in a prehistoric natural landscape, with smaller herbivorous dinosaurs, coniferous trees, and mountains visible in the background. Overlaid on the image is the text "I was born in 19-", which creates a humorous joke implying that people who were born in the 1900s and start stating their birth year with "19-" are as ancient as dinosaurs that lived millions of years ago. The joke pokes fun at the feeling of being old common among Gen X and older millennial generations when compared to younger generations born in the 2000s.
