The Net Noob meme, also widely known as 'First Day on the Internet Kid,' features a 2005 stock photo of a young boy named Lonnie looking at a computer with a wide-eyed, enthusiastic expression. It first gained viral popularity on Reddit and social media around 2011. The meme typically serves as a humorous representation of an innocent newcomer who completely misunderstands how the internet works, often falling for obvious trolls, clicking suspicious links, or taking metaphorical advice literally. It remains a staple of the 'Advice Animal' era of internet culture.
