I have no idea what happened here

Lucky bastard. It’s stuck in my head now

CHIPUL TAU SI DRAGOSTEA DIN TEI 

Mya mintesc day oki tay-yay

am i having a stroke

What is this? What is this from? Why do thousands of people know what this is. Apparently it’s Romanian. What is it??

They’re the lyrics to the song Dragostea Din Tei by Moldovan pop group O-zone. It was a very popular song in the early 2000s

We’ve finally reached the point where the old memes are too old for today’s generation… Fs in the chat.

We must not despair as long as we are here, we can teach the children about the ancient texts

Listen, kinderlach.

If you want to know how widespread a meme this was, I was in college when it was a thing. I was taking a women’s choir, as required by my major.

MY ENTIRE CHOIR CONVINCED OUR PROFESSOR THIS WAS A “ROMANIAN FOLK SONG” AND WE PERFORMED IT. LIVE.

We literally did it as a joke. Because we knew most of our audience would be students from other classes who were required to attend for a grade.

I will forever treasure the looks on the faces, ranging from outrage to pure unabashed glee, that popped up when we hit that first “maya hii, maya hu …”

This was back when a meme could go on for weeks, if not months or even up to a year. (Caramelldansen was around even longer than that, but Caramelldansen is up there with the Rickroll as the spiders Georg of the meme world.) It was still considered “current” nine weeks after we talked the prof into doing it. EVERYONE KNEW IT. It was the perfect prank.

I kind of wonder how many of the people who attended still remember this.

I am stunned to see this whole thread and not see the original meme video that really introduced this song to US audiences (or at least to everyone I know who was aware of it):

The oldest YouTube upload I can find has 48.8 million views at this time and is dated 2006 is because that’s when someone uploaded this video to YouTube because YouTube is younger than this video. The description to that upload says that a Guardian article FROM 2006 estimated that this video had been seen 700 million times at THAT time. 

This video was passed around in emails and hosted on “homepages” and would take MINUTES to load. And it was worth every minute to see this young man, Gary Brolsma just fucking joyfully JAM OUT to this song (his upload of the video is embedded above to give him the views). 

But dang, young folks, it took WORK to make something go viral in the Days of the Old Magic. Not just on the part of content producers (no one was a content producer yet, though) but also on the part of people sharing it. It was a wild, untamed time. 

I’ve actually never even seen the official video before this thread. I love it. SO MUCH. I hope that John Ralphio knows how much whoever did the little animated segments is in love with him and I hope that the Tiny Twink knows how much whoever did the little animated segments hates him for existing so close to His Beloved John Ralphio. And also the other guy is there. 

It’s incredible. Thank you for sharing that and bringing this joy back into my life.

back in The Old Days memes lasted years.

MDZS geography for other ignorant USians

Today I learned that while there are many very helpful maps showing the various MDZS locations’… locations, almost all of them have the damn scale cropped off. So, I took a google maps screenshot of China, another one of the U.S. at the same scale, figured out how I had to scale the China screenshot so the coastline matched the coastline on one of the less busy MDZS maps, and then scaled the U.S. map, so now I can conceptualize distance in a context familiar to me.

(Turns out that while China is really big the area of China this all takes place in is considerably less big!)

I’m not posting it because it necessarily contains someone else’s work and I’m not sure what the etiquette is? But, if the map I referenced is correct and I didn’t muck up the scaling:

this is the most helpful thing OMG

for those who are more visual learners and/or unfamiliar with the US, I made this based on OP’s geography:

(I used Chicago IL for Lanling, Indianapolis IN for Gusu, Jefferson City MO for Yunmeng, Louisburg KS for Yiling, Omaha NE for Qishan, and Eau Claire WI for Qinghe. This is approximate, of course, but I think it’s pretty decent. The distances are based on Google maps so they’re very loose since Google is going to take you on real roads, which in Kansas and Nebraska are especially sparse, so the distances aren’t really as the crow flies. Take those with a grain of salt. ^_^)

Okay, fam. I did some googling so you don’t have to!

Using the points given by gingersnapwolves the following are the distances as the crow flies (info from here):

Lanling - Gusu: 165 mi, Lanling - Yunmeng: 331 mi, Lanling - Yiling: 435 mi, Lanling - Qishan: 432 mi, Lanling - Qinghe: 281 mi.

Gusu - Lanling: 165 mi, Gusu - Yunmeng: 332 mi, Gusu - Yiling: 463 mi, Gusu - Qishan: 524 mi, Gusu - Qinghe: 442 mi.

Yunmeng - Lanling: 331 mi, Yunmeng - Gusu: 332 mi, Yunmeng - Yiling: 135 mi, Yunmeng - Qishan: 272 mi, Yunmeng - Qinghe: 432 mi.

Yiling - Lanling: 435 mi, Yiling - Gusu: 463 mi, Yiling - Yunmeng: 135 mi, Yiling - Qishan: 194 mi, Yiling - Qinghe: 458 mi.

Qishan - Lanling: 432 mi, Qishan - Gusu: 542 mi, Qishan - Yunmeng: 272 mi, Qishan - Yiling: 194 mi, Qishan - Qinghe: 332 mi.

Qinghe - Lanling: 281 mi, Qinghe - Gusu: 442 mi. Qinghe - Yunmeng: 432 mi, Qinghe - Yiling: 458 mi, Qinghe - Qishan: 332 mi.

It’s hard to say how fast they could fly due to wind resistance and lack of aerodynamics but birds generally average between 20 to 30 mph.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji’s Waterfall Smiles| EP. 50

[ID: Two closeup gifs of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji from The Untamed’s faces as they gaze at one other. Wei Wuxian gives a crinkly-eyed grin to Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji blinks softly, smiling gently at Wei Wuxian in return. They are both surrounded by a muted teal backdrop. /END ID]

The untamed moments I can’t stop thinking about ep.2

From the moment he grabs onto WWX’s wrist, LWJ stares at WWX for a solid TWO minutes

LWJ grabs WWX’s hand and there’s a lot of mutual staring, then WWX flutes Wen Ning off into the trees

LWJ looks away, WWX grabs his arm and he resumes his staring

JC rolls up and starts yelling at people

LWJ: still staring

JC: yells at Jin Ling

LWJ: still staring

JC: yells at random cultivators

LWJ: still staring

(It keeps going like this but I ran out space for gifs but like everyone is just staring at them and LWJ is just: eyes on the prize)

Finally JC tried to whip WWX and LWJ is all:
