Based ultimately comes from hip-hop jargon (ex: Lil B the Based God). It is an older form of the newer 'Chad' meme and an antonym of 'cringe'. It is often used on 4chan with many layers of irony. In fact, using based unironically (like based.cooking) is kind of cringe since MAGA boomers co-opted it.
