fellow Hexbear user ennemi just posted about Chuck Norris jokes, and it got me thinking about excavating the early Web 2.0 days. Remember in the mid 2000s, early 2010s, when mustaches and bacon were like the peak of online humor? I also seem to remember epic saxophone solos and Chuck Norris in the mix. Did that whole ethos go on to inform reddit culture? It’d be interesting to see an infographic showing what memes/jokes contributed to the discourses of online platforms today (though also very cringe, lol)
