    That's a bad haiku.

    That's an even worse haiku.

    This is a haiku.

    It’s fascinating really. He went directly from a wanna-be to a has-been, directly bypassing the state of “being”. Scientific studies have been conducted on the phenomenon, but it is still a mystery as to how this happened.

    I don't know what 'headline' or 'Coachella' means so that's a yes. Unless headline as in newspaper and Coachella as in a line of sex toys... which wouldn't change the answer to the question.

  • I feel like most of them were already there to begin with. I'm not sure about his case but when you dig down into it so many of them claim that they've been hiding all their lives.

    You know to escape the woke mob that doesn't like their racism or whatever.

    He's the dude version of Brittney male sexual abuse just looks a little different and isn't recognized as readily or taken as seriously, which is saying something because abusing young female pop stars is super common and happens constantly and is also not taken super seriously.

    I don't specifically remember lays bags being empty a big joke in 2012, but I wouldn't be surprised. I do remember the rest of these.

    As a web dev, I feel awkward reminiscing about the thin period of web history when IE was a solidly built, standards-compliant browser.

    It was like the IE team saw their history was causing them to lose all market share, and committed to fixing misdeeds since they held an underdog position. But for most, it was too little too late.

    For several years, I tested in IE, not Chrome, because it was most strictly standards-compliant, and I could be sure that if it worked there, it would work in other browsers. (Now, if you use Edge, it’s just a repaint of Chrome)

    I didn't start dev until after the chrome hegemony but I assume ie was only compliant because MS was the one writing the standards. Much like how chrome is essentially the defacto standard now.

    At this point in time, Chrome was jumping bounds ahead of the others with standards, and most websites were specifically written for webkit, even beginning to disregard Firefox. Worse, Chrome was often going back and forth on how a certain new standard should implement, leading to, for instance, CSS files declaring 7 or 8 different ways of doing a linear-gradient.

    Your sentiment on Microsoft isn't unique, which is part of why the web consortium wasn't actually keen on listening to them most of the time. Them having monetary/OS influence didn't actually lead to a lot on the W3C - they went ahead of them for most ActiveX work.

    Some of that feels much more ~2008ish. But given the lifecycle of memes back then, they still weren't considered antiques in 2012...

    2012 was peak rage comics. I remember scrolling f7u12 for hours on end. Then one day, it was like a switch flipped and they were all terrible. Almost like post-nut clarity. I don't know if I changed or if they changed. But they instantly became unfunny.

    The words Bacon and Epic can't be put side by side without mentioning EpicMealTime.

    Man singlehandedly kept that fad alive way longer than it ever should have been. I wonder what they're up to nowadays?

    I remember seeing him pop up on youtube a couple years back. Checking again, the last post on the channel was 2 years ago and the original format petered out after "Muscles Glasses" and others left because Harley was being a douche.

    The bacon thing was... really weird.

    I mean, I like bacon, but... not like enough to make a lifestyle out of it

    I heard it was in part a push from the pork industry. They were struggling to get grocery shoppers to keep buying bacon during the anti-fat fads of the 90s, so they spent millions lobbying fast food places and restaurants to make bacon a premium add-on 'bacon makes it better'; then the fast food marketing machine slowly brainwashed a generation into bacon obsession.

    I went full-on bacon eating back in 2012 because who cared. A year later I'm fat and slow. Fuck those Mayans.
