  • The first game I every played that had “dailies” was a Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends browser game, that gave you a “chores list” you had to complete before accessing certain activities. You’d get a new list every day, and if you didn’t complete them, you’d have a longer list the next time you played. There was no login or anything, I assume it just worked off of browser cookies.





  • It’s mostly prevalent in the ironic meme community.

    Basically, in the early days of memery, these “top text / bottom text” images were like 75% of memes. A lot of online editors were rather primitive when it came to spacing, font size, etc., which led to a lot of manual rearranging of words and text.

    For example, you may have originally typed, “my face when / the teacher calls on me”, but decided the spacing wasn’t right, so meant to change it to “my face when the / teacher calls on me” , but forgot to delete the “the” in the second line.

    This incredibly common typo became a kind of hallmark of “bad memes”, and has been intentionally replicated in shit posting communities as a sort of wink saying “this is bad on purpose”.

    All this to say, I’m not positive if this is a case of an actual typo, or an ironic replication. The meme seems otherwise genuine, so I’m leaning towards the former.
