Do you ever think about how the most important documents of your life are probably locked away in some filing cabinet somewhere? If somebody put a gun to my head and asked me where my birth certificate was, you’d be preparing my death certificate soon afterward. 

There used to be a time when you literally had to print out everything. If there was a recipe you liked online, you had better print it if you wanted to avoid taking multiple trips to the family computer room while cooking. The printer was such an essential piece of technology whose relevance only seemed to diminish as time passed. 

One of the things that people have rarely printed throughout human history is memes. Unless you’re a hip teacher in the early 2010s trying to decorate your classroom in a youthful fashion, you probably have never sent an image macro through an ink cartel. Memes are meant to be filed into the deepest recesses of your mind and into compilations of random memes like the one that lies before you.
