Chuck Norris is also dead. He died March 19th of this year.

Is Bieber a has been? Didn’t he just headline at Coachella?
Zorcron@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
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.
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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 agree, look at the sexual harassment alone. It’s pretty sickening how full grown ass adults were treating him like some sexual object. He was what 14 or 15? So gross

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.

Still funnier than skibidi toilet
iamthetot@piefed.ca 1 month ago
I can’t judge anyone for finding Skibidi Toilet funny or amusing. I watched more than my fair share of YTMND, Badger Badger, and Salad Fingers.
M137@lemmy.today 1 month ago
But those are still funny/weird though, skibidi is just “funny for 3 year olds” level stupid.
LeftReddit2@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Skibidi Toilet isn’t really a comedy tho. It’s just giant mech fights and apparently the creator of it, some racist Georgian🇬🇪 zoomer lost all the rights to it after being fucked over by some company he signed a contract with.
Yeah, wild lore both in the show itself and in the background. Got into it because my niece fucking loves it and just… no shit, it is a wild time.
BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 month ago
What? Mech fights? I’ve only seen the head in the toilet. Fuck racists though.

As a web dev, I feel awkward reminiscing about the things 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 miss presto and the old opera browser
hansolo@lemmy.today 1 month ago
I loved Opera for a good couple of years. Came back to it around 2007 and I was shocked at what it became.
Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
I rather enjoyed 2002-2003 opera. It had tabs and mouse gestures.
tempest@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
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.
Katana314@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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.
chrisashtear@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
It was really hard to use ie at the time. I worked at lockheed making a javascript repair sim, and it took 3 minutes to load in IE vs 10 secobds in chrome

WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 1 month ago
Some of that feels much more ~2008ish. But given the lifecycle of memes back then, they still weren’t considered antiques in 2012…
zip@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
I agree; I was thinking the exact same thing. Maybe the original creator of this image lived somewhere where what memes were popular there was lagging a few years behind everyone else, haha.

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.

EpicMealTime paled in comparison to regular ordinary Swedish mealtime!

The bacon thing was… really weird.
I mean, I like bacon, but… not like enough to make a lifestyle out of it
absentbird@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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 remember a YouTube channel with some folks drop testing a bunch of phones using a drone - and some Motorola smartphone with a polymer display (IIRC) survived a much bigger drop than the 3310 did.
I think the 3310 got its reputation because it was ubiquitous and at the same time somewhat tough - but it’s nowhere near as tough as say some Ericssons before it or some Siemens models after. Maybe this is also backed by the fact that phones got progressively more brittle after that.
Naturally people reach for the low hanging fruit to make a joke.
