Sitting pretty at 1.8M followers, the Internet Hall Of Fame is undoubtedly quite popular with people who want to stay on top of Internet lore and history. As internet usage becomes ubiquitous, the sheer amount of content continues to grow and grow making it literally impossible for one person to consume it all. 

For example, just Youtube, not counting any other video hosting sites and platforms, has approximately 800 million videos, with an average video being about 11.7 minutes in length. Some enthusiasts did the math, which amounts to roughly 17,810 years of consecutive watching to just finish youtube.

The guy who spends upwards of eight hours wearing a mask in a steam-filled kitchen, washing dishes in the heat of summer agrees with Soledad.

It'd be interesting watching somebody run the 100m in 4 seconds and explode just past the finish line.

It doesn’t take a genius to recognize that there is a lot more than just Youtube out there. The result is that taking a break from social media usage can feel disorienting when one returns. New events, memes, heroes and villains are being discussed, sometimes with vocabulary and jokes that are already unfamiliar. The internet has its own form of FOMO, where missing a specific story feels downright bad.

I'd rather have a 35+ where it's pretty chill and quiet. Everyone is welcome. Got good restaurants and low-key stuff to do. Also no internet connectivity so I can get some relaxing in. Age limit not enforced just a lifestyle choice.

This is why pages like “the internet hall of fame” exist, not so much as to preserve, as a Twitter account preserving Twitter content is a bit redundant, but as a way to filter important or particularly popular posts away from the ocean of mundane, everyday content. Gone are the days when something viral meant that everyone could see it, now hugely popular media can be simultaneously unknown to significant segments of the population.

I am a despicable human being because I do the same thing with my wife. It's the old good cop - bad cop game and I am always the good cop.

While the account is more tongue-in-cheek, as the content is mostly humorous, with a few profound and unhinged moments, it does, perhaps accidentally, raise an important question regarding preservation. While Twitter is and is likely to remain a predominant social media platform, it’s entirely possible that massive amounts of content, posts, jokes, and art could all disappear should someone trip over the wrong wire.

When people think of preserving digital content, the focus tends to be on art, or at least endeavors that are more similar to the media normally digitized, like old films and books. But why not take a conscious effort to preserve content like this beyond the servers of one company? As silly and unserious as most of it is, future linguists and anthropologists would no doubt love to see the direct text from people of the past.

A man thought he was too old for university and said, 'when I graduate I'll be 42 years old', so his friend said to him, 'how old will you be if you don't graduate?'.

While that might seem far-fetched, there is already a lot of popular internet content around the idea of what people of the past thought and wrote. Take a complaint from ancient Babylonian bureaucrats. “I am not getting water for my sesame field. The sesame will die. Don’t tell me later, ‘You did not write to me.’ The sesame is visibly dying. Ibbi-Ilabrat saw it. That sesame will die, and I have warned you.” Thousands of years later, it is just as relatable to anyone having to deal with stubborn managers.

In fairness the gospels were written after Jesus died so unreliable and Judas sold all the VHS tapes the disciples took for even more silver, then the guy who bought them recorded the Golden Girls over them so there's no actual record any more.

A real tragedy is that so much significant text, ideas, and conversations are all lost to time because they were never written down. Now that we have the technology, we would be doing those who come after us a disservice not to document as much of our popular culture as possible. At the very least, it might help answer some confusing questions and eliminate the sort of myths we no doubt make about the past.

Also and above all: won the gas&oil lottery and thus is rich as f**k. Norway is basically a democratic and egalitarian Gulf country.

I'm seeing this so much that I have a question: Can I please sit with him at the crock pot and share the buffalo dip? Very honestly speaking, I haven't even tasted buffalo sauce before.

No it's, "You need to sit in a room all day doing nothing with over a hundred other people. We could give you fifteen bucks, but you don't want that right? You want to differ that. Chance of COVID? Yeah, but don't worry about it."

I used to be the "main character" like this at a bar I went to. I've married the bartender and now we have our own little spinoff.

Go slow. With anything, test the natural receptors in your body. Eat a half of a gummy, eat a stem and cap of shrooms. Wait. Gauge your bodies' response. Be careful and have good friends around.

It sure feels illegal. It is also sometimes hard to decide of you are sick enough.

Alright, let's go. Word has an F-ton of functions and options that few people even know about. Moving an image is easy, if you know how to do it and tweak the options a bit. PDFs are literally made to be non-editable once saved. It is so they can be safe for storing important documents. Ever wandered why all stores send you bill in a PDF version? It's so you cannot edit it and do scams. Also there are few other programs that can edit them. So if you don't know how to use Word, don't blame the program for your incompetence. If you managed to read it all the way here, thank you for your attention and apologies for the rant. XD

You must understand them. After naming literally dozens of birds, fantasy runs out and you start with simple names. Then you get bored and get silly, so you start naming stuff "Tit", "Woodcock", "Shag", "Booby" etc

My man if what I do in my real life had any reflection of what I do in my dreams, I'd be out there fighting dragons with pet armadillo's, scouring castles looking for a ghost that owed me money and raising a single chicken in a barn that aliens visited but apparently didn't really like.
