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.

As I quiet, laidback man who married a fiery, talkative redhead. Because without her I'd be agoraphobic lonely shut-in. With her there is always something interesting to watch or listen to.

As a quiet, laid back person I love that I found my loud, outgoing husband. I enjoy getting out SO much more now that I know I don't have to make small talk. *shudder* He loves chatting with people. I can just sit back, laugh, add a comment when I actually have something to say and people watch.

This was me and my late fiancé. We would just stuff from an app at 2am and he’d get a text to pick it up. At 2am in Las Cruces..we usually picked Jack in the Box after smoking a bowl. Since we were already chill…and the weed makes us more chill…we were just happy that after an hour or so when we remembered..”Hey didn’t we order Fanta and Jack in the Box tacos ???” Yeah. Good times. Lol

Look. I dated a Karen for a bit, a milder version, but a Karen is a Karen. NGL. My food orders did end up more accurate. I used to be in the industry, so I was able to pull her back a bit. Now we're done, I'm sure she went full Karenzy.

Genetic, opposites attract. One of the questions my psychiatrist asked to determine if I had ADD was, Is your wife a secretary and then started to expand on it. I said, Bookkeeper. He stopped in midsentence. My wife handles what she knows the procedures for, which is a lot, and I handle the rest the best I can without complaint. As our kids grew up, the family environment was stable and functional. It still is.

You don't need to be rude you know? Hell, you don't even need to be stern. Just wave the waiter over and let them know you got the wrong side or whatever. They're, 99 times out of 100, more than happy to help, because mistakes happen, and if you aren't an a*****e about it, then it should go smoothly.

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. 

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

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.

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.

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

I find it ironic that the US uses the caduceus as a symbol for medical care when it might as well be a symbol for liars and thieves. "The caduceus is the traditional symbol of Hermes and features two snakes winding around an often winged staff. It is often used as a symbol of medicine, especially in the United States, despite its ancient and consistent associations with trade, liars, thieves, eloquence, negotiation, alchemy, and wisdom."
