On Lemmy these viral things consume the site for about 3ish days every few months, then fade into lore. The first one I was here for was when were were all obsessed with not pooping for 3 days. There were the beans. There was a longer one where almost every post on the site was some reference to Saddam Hussein's spider hole. There was a period where every upvoted post had to contain one or more black cats.
How could you forget Beef Stroganoff
Don't forget the jeans. lol
We also had a pretty major phase about pondering orbs
Those were good times. I still think about it sometimes.
Right! I was away from things for a day and when I came back everything as wizards and orbs. I forgot.
Let this be a lesson to you.
All this and no mention of potash?
This is about viral shitposts. Potash is and always was; the alpha and the omega; the one truth.
There was also something recently about potash that I never looked into but was wondering what it's all about
I feel like potash was a Millhouse situation.
Potash is eternal, tis no meme ;)
