WORD STAR!!!

  This made me laugh a lot — something I really needed right now, more than I realized. Thank you :) For the uninitiated: it’s a play on words of people shouting “WORLD STAR!!!” while a viral video is being filmed hoping the video will be featured on a site of the same name. The site and the videos are pretty unpleasant but it is part of internet culture and in no way detracts from StrongBad536’s far more wholesome pun. It sort of ranks as the same kind of wholesome-silliness based on underlying-darkness as this image, re: a certain turn-of-the-century website whose name included the word “goat” and ended in .cx: https://circuitglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/ideal-transformer-figure-compressor.jpg https://circuitglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/ideal-tr...

    That transformer circuit won't give any clue to those who don't remember hello.jpg (Or was it giver.jpg? I don't remember) but for me it sent me back two decades. I actually found HN during the beta debacle.
