Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Not me, I have pretty much exactly the same half-understanding of memes now as I did of the ones around 15 years ago. AYBABTU, Chuck Norris, Big Chungus and Skibidi all occupy exactly the same conceptual space in my mind.
Chuck Norris? Nope! Chuck Testa!
I’m disappointed Elon Musk hasn’t hired him to do a Chuck Tesla ad
Give him a couple more years, Chuck Testa memes aren’t quite outdated enough for him
yeah I was gonna say, nothing on the internet right now is more inscrutable than the deep tangle of YTMND in-jokes.
As an aside to the topic of this thread, I'm glad Chuck Norris jokes stopped being a thing, which if I remembered correctly was when Norris outed himself as a fundie creationist or something.
iirc Chuck Norris jokes originated on Something Awful, but as Vin Diesel jokes. Somehow there was some dumbass switcheroo along the way and there we were. I hated it and I’m glad they’re gone, for the same reason you gave.
He also started playing into the jokes with commercials and guest appearances on talk shows. Nothing kills a good time faster than brands.
Also you're right. I half remember something that got put up on his website like "You know who's even tougher than me? This guy named Jesus"
