“The biggest achievement for me is just how much we could form a sort of community when everyone lacked one,” Mehul says. Students have recreated their universities on Minecraft some even hosted a Minecraft graduation with 500 students in lieu of being able to attend their real ceremony. A few have shared virtual escape rooms some have shared their art. Members have shared apps and extensions that allow them to interact with others online. There’s a post on the group about setting up pen pals, so people can email or send mail to new friends. For its members, it’s fulfilling a lot of the social functions they’re missing out on in the absence of traditional university gatherings. As one meme says, “Damn… I’m kinda tired of living through these major historical events.”īut the group isn’t just for sharing memes. One member posted “ Zoom Wrapped,” a riff on Spotify Wrapped, where the top artists included “professor talking on mute” and “surprise dog appearances.” The memes deal with life in the age of remote learning and working, but the group also serves as a time capsule of the past year, with memes referencing events from the Ever Given ship stuck in the Suez Canal to Redditors manipulating GameStop stock.
