A meme illustrating how nostalgia distorts our perception of the past. The top of the image reads 'Nostalgia be like:' followed by a creepy, humanoid figure with hollow eyes labeled '2014:'. Below it is the same figure labeled '2022:' with a speech bubble containing a small, colorful, simplistic drawing of a person with a sunset background, also labeled '2014:'.

This is a two-panel variation of the popular Drake Hotline Bling reaction meme.

This is a 4-panel comparison comic meme. First, the anthropomorphized yellow 2026 sun character brags that it is 'just great' with better technology, streaming services and more convenience. Next, the anthropomorphized blue 2016 moon character retorts that 2016 had the popular short-form video platform Vine, and TikTok did not exist at that time. An unnamed everyman cartoon character then points at the 2016 character to show agreement, leaving the 2026 character looking embarrassed and defeated. The joke plays on widespread internet nostalgia for the 2016 social media landscape, as many users preferred Vine over the now-ubiquitous TikTok.
