I hate to keep bringing this up, but I don't think it counts as a "shit post" if you're just posting an actual real thing that you found in the news

I'm pretty sure that's just a regular news post

[-] CarlsIII@kbin.social 65 points 1 year ago

I actually thought this was fake because it was posted here

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Same, I had to go look it up to make sure

[-] elxeno@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I feel like we should put a rest to the term “breaking the internet.”

Am I the only one here completely out of the loop?

[-] nomadwannabe@lemmy.ca 41 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

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

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

...aaand hearty handshake!

[-] countstex@feddit.dk 2 points 1 year ago

You'd do it for Hedy Lamarr!

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

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

The internet never breaks, it only splits

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 91 points 1 year ago

So black and blue, in the end, then.

[-] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

With a little red too.

[-] victron@programming.dev 8 points 1 year ago

Orange is the new black and blue.

Is his wife's name Yanny or Laurel?

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

I'm putting my money on Gay Bowser.

Green needle

Im just reading the article, and remembering the whole domestic abuse campaign the dress produced. Think this just really drove the point home for sure.

[-] LemmynySnicket@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Domestic abuse campaign the dress produced? I barely pay attention, remember the dress but not that.

[-] exohuman@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago
[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 4 points 1 year ago

Oh! A campaign AGAINST domestic abuse! That's better!

[-] oldGregg@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Hahaha what did you think?

Like a black and white infomercial,

"Have you come home without dinner being ready? Laundry piling up? Is your wife exposing too much skin?

Lucky for you, there's an easy solution!"

Fade to color...

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I thought at first it might be some kind of "mens rights" group pro-abuse because it's traditional kind of bullshit..

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 16 points 1 year ago

Still couldn't agree on the colour of it, eh?

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

That escalated quickly.

[-] nomadjoanne@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Damn, it still looks blue to me.
