The bacon thing was… really weird.
I mean, I like bacon, but… not like enough to make a lifestyle out of it
I heard it was in part a push from the pork industry. They were struggling to get grocery shoppers to keep buying bacon during the anti-fat fads of the 90s, so they spent millions lobbying fast food places and restaurants to make bacon a premium add-on ‘bacon makes it better’; then the fast food marketing machine slowly brainwashed a generation into bacon obsession.
Ugh. Nothing is even shocking anymore.
I think it was an overblown reaction about masculinity and being against vegetarianism and whatnot. Obviously it became less explicitly about that, but i do think it stems from those feelings originally.
JB was bad and most guys hated him but most guys also ran around with the same haircut at the time.
JB copied them.
I went full-on bacon eating back in 2012 because who cared. A year later I’m fat and slow. Fuck those Mayans.
So you remember Strong Bad?
I mostly remember Trogdor to be honest.
no, but i remember Strong Sad.

Did you… is this sickos, but a hedgehog?
This is the OG “haha yes” meme, predating the sickos one by… like… 1-2 years according to knowyourmeme (going not by time of creation but their widespread usage as memes)
Chuck Norris is also dead. He died March 19th of this year.
Those Nokias aren’t dead, they were just abandoned by the infrastructure. Pop in a new battery and you’ll be playing snake in no time.
Fixed.
Damn it, you fixed it just before I could lol.

When epic meal time was the biggest YouTube channel.
Oh my god i completely forgot how much everyone loved epic meal time. Could never to content like that in this economy.
I was younger so it was somewhat enjoyable. Mostly for me it was seeing what crazy monstrosity they were going to make.
Ever wonder why we’re here?
“… Just to suffer?”

The system is down
As a web dev, I feel awkward reminiscing about the thin period of web history when IE was a solidly built, standards-compliant browser.
It was like the IE team saw their history was causing them to lose all market share, and committed to fixing misdeeds since they held an underdog position. But for most, it was too little too late.
For several years, I tested in IE, not Chrome, because it was most strictly standards-compliant, and I could be sure that if it worked there, it would work in other browsers. (Now, if you use Edge, it’s just a repaint of Chrome)
I miss presto and the old opera browser
I rather enjoyed 2002-2003 opera. It had tabs and mouse gestures.
I didn’t start dev until after the chrome hegemony but I assume ie was only compliant because MS was the one writing the standards. Much like how chrome is essentially the defacto standard now.
At this point in time, Chrome was jumping bounds ahead of the others with standards, and most websites were specifically written for webkit, even beginning to disregard Firefox. Worse, Chrome was often going back and forth on how a certain new standard should implement, leading to, for instance, CSS files declaring 7 or 8 different ways of doing a linear-gradient.
Your sentiment on Microsoft isn’t unique, which is part of why the web consortium wasn’t actually keen on listening to them most of the time. Them having monetary/OS influence didn’t actually lead to a lot on the W3C - they went ahead of them for most ActiveX work.
God I forgot about the whole bacon thing.
I remember it as the same time the narwhal bacon’ed. Never got the appeal of that meme.
And unfortunately I’m going to have to remind you how bad it got… https://www.baconaddicts.com/products/bacon-flavored-toothpaste-flavor-tooth-paste
I remember being really annoyed by the whole thing. People went from kale to bacon.
Where’s Spongebob caveman?

Bacon will forever remain epic, even if it is slowly killing me.
I think it’s a reference to epic meal time
Ohhh, right. Man, I’m a terrible Millennial.

Still funnier than skibidi toilet
Skibidi Toilet isn’t really a comedy tho. It’s just giant mech fights and apparently the creator of it, some racist Georgian🇬🇪 zoomer lost all the rights to it after being fucked over by some company he signed a contract with.
Yeah, wild lore both in the show itself and in the background. Got into it because my niece fucking loves it and just… no shit, it is a wild time.
What? Mech fights? I’ve only seen the head in the toilet. Fuck racists though.
Yeah. It goes from funny toilet head man thing into this weird war between the toilets and camera head people and soon just turns into giant ass mech fights. My niece herself said she thinks the series is an allegory for arms races and, tbh, I cannot fault her for it because the later episodes get really wild and pretty well animated.
As for the creator, DaFuqBoom!, yeah he has made some weird stuff in the past includes jokes against George Floyd. Why would a Georgian, the country not the state, joke about that? I have no idea. And also he was fucked over by Invisible Narratives who took all the rights from the series, took all the adsense dollars he made, and also took all the money from the deals he made.
Like as shitty as a person as he is, I can’t help but feel bad. I assumed he was rolling in it, but he’s broke and has seen 0 return from the popularity of his series because of an unfair contract. Finding that out just felt weird. Like there’s this much cloak and dagger about the funny toilet vs camera show? What a time to be alive.
