    I for one am certainly glad, YTMND is iconic as the ascension of the shitpost and is a core element of the Internet As It Was.

    When aliens discover the burned out husk of our planet, they too will know the joys of static images and audio clip loops.

        I know I’m lame, but I came back and I saw your comment and let me just say this internet friend. I spent the day helping my demented mom move across the state to be closer to me, and i really needed that morale boost. Thank you, truly.

    Ah man, there were so many good ones riffing on initial d. Different segments of the opening theme became their own memes. ytmnd was/is a beautiful surreal artform.

    Is that one Ridin’ Spinnaz with the swinging D in the Library of Congress?

      Probably. A lot of things that have been copyrighted were required to have a copy sent to the copyright office and, by extension, the library of congress. At least in the past

      https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/us-appeals-court-curbs-copyright-offices-mandatory-deposit-policy-2023-08-29/

      In a ruling, opens new tab for Richmond, Virginia-based Valancourt Books, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said the Copyright Office’s demand amounted to an unconstitutional government taking of Valancourt’s property.

      The applicable portion related to these older works here

      The Copyright Office requires a physical copy of any work published in the United States to be deposited with it. The office has said the requirement ensures that the Library of Congress “has an opportunity to obtain copies of every copyrightable work published in the United States”

      If the website ever filed for copyrights then the site contents itself may fall under the same purview.

          In hindsight “Swinging D” should have tipped me off. But for some reason I read it as a song name or something lol.

          Edit: actually, reading a comment about “initial d” directly before probably didn’t help.

        Edit: downvoted for a warning lmao. People have jobs and I’m sure there’s Jeffrey’s who read/skim quickly like me.
