    It’s funny to think that future people will have no idea what these jokes will mean, but we’ve translated 2000 year old Roman dick jokes. Future historians will just say the same of us as we do about the Romans. “They created amazing technology that shaped the world we live in today…and they were really horny.”

      It’s a joke, but memes tend to be incredibly dependent on multiple layers of meta and references to other cultural events and memes.

      Unless they somehow manage to lose a huge amount of context, I’m sure they’ll be able to figure out what memes mean.
