Fish one is from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. One of the books was titled it.

The pig one is a line from Babe I think. A pig movie from the 90s

Is this loss

I think you mean THE pig movie of the 90s.

I've seen people post "I did a thing"
The fish one looks vaguely familiar but very outdated. I think that was some meme that died quickly maybe. I know what the pig one is in reference to but I've never seen that line used out of the context of the movie it's from.
I remember variations of "winning the internet" a long time ago, but I haven't seen anyone use any in well over a decade.
The ants one is an Archer quote. Archer is very quotable. I don't think that's so much a millennial thing as a "Archer is very quotable and that's a popular Archer quote" thing, like "stop, my penis can only get so erect" or "phrasing!"
The rest I've never seen before
(and the ones I have seen are only internet memes/posts, never irl)

I've never seen or heard anyone reference online or irl anything from post 6. One person showed me the badger/mushroom/snake video once and apparently they found it funny and I didn't like it, but I remembered it when I saw the post here.

You could say that. The book was written in 1984

I have never seen someone use it for a meme but maybe I don't talk to the right people
