No, actually.
See, I remember this comment about the image links ACTUALLY being Base36.
According to the funny informational site:
“Base36 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-36 representation.
The choice of 36 is convenient in that the digits can be represented using the Arabic numerals 0–9 and the Latin letters A–Z (the ISO basic Latin alphabet).”
Taking from consideration, 10 = A, 11 = B, 12 = C, ..., 33 = X, 34 = Y, and 35 = Z.
So therefore, since 9 and 3a4 have a SERIOUS inequality (that being 9 being less than 3a4 (in which 3a4 = 4252)), no; the linked image isn’t actually the oldest MEME.
I’d prefer to call them “IMAGES” considering the “i/“ prefix before the Base36.
