Yeah nothing viral has really ever broken the internet.

Ellen Degenerate’s Oscar tweet sort of broke Twitter briefly, I can’t think of much else.

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 43 points 1 year ago

Nowadays Twitter breaks itself spontaneously, no celeb needed

[-] LemmynySnicket@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Does Elon musk not count as a celeb? Because he was definitely needed to break twitter.

[-] Ddhuud@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Definitely doesn't count. There's famous, and then there's infamous.

[-] sndrtj@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Ellen was also quite infamous among her crew.

There was that CDN that went down a couple years ago, that literally broke the internet briefly

Facebook fucking up their BGP 2 years ago broke the internet for like 1/3 of the world

[-] rynzcycle@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Which is less impressive considering a gentle breeze can break Twitter now.

[-] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

On the same topic, the Will Smith/Chris Rock Oscar slap pretty much saturated the internet for a few days

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 year ago

True, but the point is that didn't break it

[-] Ktheone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

And Gangnam style broke the youtube view counter too, but your point stands

[-] outer_spec@lemmy.studio 1 points 1 year ago

A Homestuck flash broke Newgrounds once
