Like, obviously around here you don’t subscribe to a subreddit, were not on reddit.
What about referring to the Original Poster as OP?
What about etiquette like marking edited posts and comments with “Edit: added words or explanations of edits made”?
And to be fair, that whole narwhal bacon thing was a weird fad of internet culture as a whole, not just on Reddit (think pre-2014 internet imo)
The narwal bacon meme itself was specifically reddit, as it was a deeply cringey joke post someone made as a shibollith to try to identify redditors in the real world.
It was the perfect mix of very awkward, very stupid, and weirdly preening that got people to “ironically” use it for a bit on reddit, which then spread wider.
In this moment
I am euphoric
Remember everyone using “le”? And the site-dominating obsession with beards that lasted for months? And the war between cat lovers and dog lovers?
It was all so inane.
Pretty sure the “le” thing came outta 4chan.
Albino Black sheep I always figured. Stemming from the line “I am le tired” from the end of the world flash video. So early 2000s likely
(Just realized if so, that would make it older than the iPhone… damn time has gone by).
“Well, take a nap ZEN FIRE ZE MISSILES!”
Classic.
I like your shoelaces!
I like turtles?
