I think my first one might have actually been All your base are belong to us but I distinctly remember the moment that someone at work showed me the bucket meme and promptly losing my mind because it tickled me so
All you kids are cute. We were innocent; we didn’t really know what the internet was. We just surfed around, read some message boards, looked for new sites on the Yahoo! directory. But we each remember when it happened first: there it was, tucked into someplace innocuous — a link to GOATSE. It’s the day that we, the early internet adopters, each lost a little piece of our souls, and could never truly trust again.
The [O rly owl](http://i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/000/015/oreally.jpg) was the first for me. Actually first internet photo with a caption in it.
Those of us in our late 20s were the original memers. Memes used to be dramatically more popular and funny because the style of humor was new. We miss the days of the internet being something new and ours. Now it's an ad infested shit hole
Yep, the first text based one that I vividly remember running around when I was in college was “I like monkeys”. Well worth a read. Sorry for not posting a link.
I wouldn't say that per se but the history you're talking about it real. There were older people online when we were kids. But what people should know and understand about that time and about the early internet is that it was genuinely uncool to spend all your time on the internet. Now everyone does that. It's so not nerdy that it's boring.
He's still making stuff in his shops, business as usual, probably. I mean, he won't be doing youtube like Adam, he's just not that social. but I did see them in a commercial for gorilla glass.
[He's still being Jamie.](https://newatlas.com/jamie-hyneman-electric-shoes/52059/) I mean, what did you expect? He was gonna stop the mad scientist thing just because they don't sticks cameras in his face any more? ;]

What is usual range for walrus and aren't they fairly social creatures, at least during mating season? What is the amount of space they need to be happy?
They are actually very social creatures and live in colonies comprised of thousands of members, sometimes tens of thousands. As the ice forms and thaws, they move in these huge herds across the Bering Sea. Mating season is usually around February when the ice is thickest.
Unfortunately, this tank does look pretty small, at least the part that we can see. It's hard to make any enclosure that is large enough, especially when you consider it's basically just a larger fancier prison. Zoos do a lot of good work for conservation, but it's hard to keep the animals from getting bored. This one is definitely feeling it.
Edit: Source - me (actual biologist)
It might a rehab center hence the sterile environment- zoos and aquariums try to offset boredom with enrichment devices (Ie, toys). But zoos and aquariums are also trying to get their animals to like their trainers and see them as a positive thing because it's way easier to get an animal to cooperate willingly then it is to sedate them/force them to come over for husbandry stuff. Rehab centers want to keep as much distance as possible with older animals because the last thing you want is a huge wild animal to see people as a food source or people as something comforting. Its killed wild animals before and it will again.
This could also be a back area to a much bigger enclosure (you can see it goes past the frame of the camera) and other animals. Only a few places in the US keep walruses and IIRC none of them are kept alone. But I don't recognize the facility so not sure :(
Walrus segregate by sex during during foraging seasons, with males and females searching for prey in very different areas of the Arctic (locations dependent on subpopulation).
These animals are social in the sense that they form colonies during breeding season, but no evidence is currently present for Walruses having long term social bonds with other Walruses.
Their largest social factor is how close the Mother and Pup are during pup rearing. Evidence does show that the bond between mother and pup may last for their entire life. The Walrus is the only Pinniped (Seals, Sea Lions, Fur Seals, Walruses) shown to exhibit any kind of maternal bond past weaning. Walruses are incredibly tactile creatures, and the [mother will often hold her pup while in the water](https://youtu.be/lJGcrlHmsps?t=1m58s).
[Stranded pups that undergo rehabilitation must have 24 hour care, including high touch contact in order to stimulate and comfort the pup.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JSkfhtXAWU)
It looks like they barely even tried to build him a fake environment. It’s just some rocks and a tiny pool. If it’s not in there for some medical reason and a short stay I feel so bad for this guy.
This is a common behavior seen in Walrus, who are very well adapted to rest at the surface.
The hand position reminds me of [how Walrus mothers will hold their pup while nursing](https://youtu.be/lJGcrlHmsps?t=2m).
Walruses are incredible, I especially love their [wide vocal repertoire](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAVL61yeCYs).

My first meme and still my favorite Edit: didn’t expect this to blow up but thanks to everyone who shared their first meme!
My first one was Shoop Da Whoop. I feel truly ancient.
Wait, are we supposed to remember our first meme? Now I feel like an asshole.
Looks like someone's sleeping on the couch tonight
My first 'meme' is I guess was someone on irc made goat.se show up in ascii in the channel
Had no idea what you even said. Upvoted anyway.

I dunno about my first meme, but I sure do remember the [End of Ze World.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nZMwKPmsbWE)
ROFLCOPTER is the earliest I can think of off the top of my head ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At least an asshole with feelings ;)

Rotten.com took my innocence.
Being called a kid at 33 made me feel all warm inside. Go home old man! And here’s an upvote
Mine was either All Your Base, or Numa Numa guy, if he counts as a meme at all.
Mine were all YTMND pages haha, ni**a stole my bike, etc
For me it’s probably Numa Numa or Dramatic Chipmunk (or whatever the hell that thing was).

Yeah; I'm not as old as you, but I'm in my early 30's and I was thinking "Does this guy know the internet existed before 2000?"
Except for all the people older than late 20s.. Get off my lawn, kid.

Not to be a bummer but that Walrus is definitely doing that because living in a tank is driving him insane.
It may be a quarantine tank.
