Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

Forever in our hearts.
Nobody teaches you how business actually works.
McDonald’s is a real estate empire. The burger is just the reason you show up to their land.
Red Bull owns zero factories. It costs $0.09 to make and $3.59 to buy. They sell a lifestyle, not a drink.
Amazon’s retail barely breaks even. Half the internet runs on AWS. That’s the real business.
Google is free because you’re not the customer. You’re what they’re selling.
Disney is in the licensing business not the movie making one.
Costco sells groceries at cost. The $65 membership is the entire business model.
Gillette sells you the razor cheap. Then owns you on the blades forever.
The most profitable companies don’t sell what you think they sell.
The real business is always one layer deeper.
Modern day Seinfeld: Jerry dates a woman named Julia with views on the Middle East he hates but she has a giant rack. Kramer stockpiles barrels of crude oil to sell for a profit but didn’t realize it can’t go in cars, and now has to try to sell it back. George tries to make insider bets on DraftKings on Yankees trades but the team never makes any of the trades. Elaine is smitten by a handsome guy but won’t commit because he still listens to Diddy music since “Diddy never did anything to me.” Newman has to deliver mail to “J. Epstein” and is convinced Jeffrey must still be alive, so he stakes out the apartment, only to find it’s actually Julia, the girl Jerry is dating.
@SheriEades@RazorbackFB He may have lost his job which sucks BUT he is also getting close to 10 million as severance so I don’t feel too bad for someone who is getting generational wealth as a goodbye gift. Like where can I sign up to get fired and paid millions of dollars in the process?
