We might think of the internet as this newfangled bit of technology, but in practice, it’s been around so long that some moments have gone down in history and should be identified and secured so as to not get lost in the endless sea of content that is on the internet.
The “internet hall of fame” Twitter account gathers posts, tweets, and screenshots that deserve to be preserved and commemorated for future generations. So get comfy and prepare to visit a selection of all-time greats as you scroll. Make sure to upvote your favorite posts below and comment your own thoughts below.

i'm pretty sure there were days when i did not leave the couch for 13 hours but i think that's a me problem
Sitting pretty at 1.8M followers, the Internet Hall Of Fame is undoubtedly quite popular with people who want to stay on top of Internet lore and history. As internet usage becomes ubiquitous, the sheer amount of content continues to grow and grow making it literally impossible for one person to consume it all.
For example, just Youtube, not counting any other video hosting sites and platforms, has approximately 800 million videos, with an average video being about 11.7 minutes in length. Some enthusiasts did the math, which amounts to roughly 17,810 years of consecutive watching to just finish youtube.
The guy who spends upwards of eight hours wearing a mask in a steam-filled kitchen, washing dishes in the heat of summer agrees with Soledad.
It doesn’t take a genius to recognize that there is a lot more than just Youtube out there. The result is that taking a break from social media usage can feel disorienting when one returns. New events, memes, heroes and villains are being discussed, sometimes with vocabulary and jokes that are already unfamiliar. The internet has its own form of FOMO, where missing a specific story feels downright bad.
This is why pages like “the internet hall of fame” exist, not so much as to preserve, as a Twitter account preserving Twitter content is a bit redundant, but as a way to filter important or particularly popular posts away from the ocean of mundane, everyday content. Gone are the days when something viral meant that everyone could see it, now hugely popular media can be simultaneously unknown to significant segments of the population.
While the account is more tongue-in-cheek, as the content is mostly humorous, with a few profound and unhinged moments, it does, perhaps accidentally, raise an important question regarding preservation. While Twitter is and is likely to remain a predominant social media platform, it’s entirely possible that massive amounts of content, posts, jokes, and art could all disappear should someone trip over the wrong wire.
This made me chuckle a bit, but yeah, not really. Still at the mercy of someone deciding whether they're going to have babies or not.

Years ago, I had a cat with a human name--Caitlin. She became diabetic, and the vet told me I could get her insulin at a normal human pharmacy, it'd be cheaper than going to a veterinary pharmacy. The first time I tried to get her insulin, they asked if Caitlin was a minor, and if not, did I have Caitlin's permission to talk to the pharmacy? They seemed very confused when I told them that Caitlin was a cat. I had to tell them, "Look carefully at the script. See how it's from Local Vet, *not* Local Human Doctor?" "Oh!" Finally, they let me pick up her script.
That must've been a CVS. Sounds like something they would do/say.

Same here. My cats and dogs were from the Humane Society, there's no real way to know unless they were surrendered. That's not even a guarantee.

In the EU you usually get a passport for your dog with the date of birth.
Not true. Date of birth is not the only way to verify a prescription, let alone for a pet. The pharmacy would have to input the prescription, which would be clearly seen being from a veterinarian vs a md. The pharmacy I worked at required us to specify that it was a pet and link their owners account with it. Plus, pet dosages are *usually* different from human dosages. My cat uses people inhalers, and his dosages are typical of what a 13 year old boy would use. If the pharmacist or techs can't determine the difference between a DVM and any other doctor, I'd say go to another pharmacy for everyone's safety.
My dogs birthday was the day he came home from the shelter, 4/19/11.
That is the way I see it. But people have boutique pets, and ignore the fact they were born in puppy mills. Where females are FORCED to keep getting pregnant. You know like in the US.. we can think trumptard and his lying cult

I made my rescue dog's birthday my birthday, different year, of course, so I just had to remember the year!
This literally happened to me when my dog was sick dude! She was a rescue so I didn't rmr what birthday I gave them. Didn't think the years mattered. It was a whole fucken thing.
I had a pharmacist ask if the patient had any questions for her. I told her that the patient is a dog and I don't think he knows about the pills.
The dog groomer said they couldn't ask my vet for my dog's immunization record themselves because it would be a hipaa violation. I said, "I'll have the dog call you."
that's why you always use 3/1 or 4/1 since animals are usually born in the spring - and it's easy to remember - even for my husband
** HINT: Call back as the DOG! Tell them you forgot your DOB because you're a DOG. Ask them to please tell your HUMAN what it is **
That's when u find a new pharmacy and for her DOB the same as u. NOT really a problem
If her dog is insured, you can't change the date of birth. And why would responsible pet owner not have insurance.

Bring the dog to the pharmacy. Dog barks, that's her birthday. Oh Pharmacist can't understand dog well neither can you!
Omg! This is me! My dog's either 4 or 5, but I honestly don't remember! Patient privacy for Fido! 🤣
Usually the vet paperwork lists the pets date of birth, even if it's an estimate. That would be what the pharmacy would want to know
If you know how old the dog is, just pick a date for the birthday. That's what I tell my clients anyway.
Maybe speak to the pharmacist. Honestly, the others should know better when it comes to animals...on most occasions, the same birthrate is used for all animals scripts...usually 01/01/??(a reasonable year to make the pet an appropriate age).
That's just dumb and I'd get a new vet if they're going to be that asinine about it.
Because you say so? Are you an adult? And are you still called Ricky? Some of us care for our pets Ricky. And we name them more mature names than Ricky.

When people think of preserving digital content, the focus tends to be on art, or at least endeavors that are more similar to the media normally digitized, like old films and books. But why not take a conscious effort to preserve content like this beyond the servers of one company? As silly and unserious as most of it is, future linguists and anthropologists would no doubt love to see the direct text from people of the past.
While that might seem far-fetched, there is already a lot of popular internet content around the idea of what people of the past thought and wrote. Take a complaint from ancient Babylonian bureaucrats. “I am not getting water for my sesame field. The sesame will die. Don’t tell me later, ‘You did not write to me.’ The sesame is visibly dying. Ibbi-Ilabrat saw it. That sesame will die, and I have warned you.” Thousands of years later, it is just as relatable to anyone having to deal with stubborn managers.
In fairness the gospels were written after Jesus died so unreliable and Judas sold all the VHS tapes the disciples took for even more silver, then the guy who bought them recorded the Golden Girls over them so there's no actual record any more.
A real tragedy is that so much significant text, ideas, and conversations are all lost to time because they were never written down. Now that we have the technology, we would be doing those who come after us a disservice not to document as much of our popular culture as possible. At the very least, it might help answer some confusing questions and eliminate the sort of myths we no doubt make about the past.
Took me a minute, but the mother is right 🤣, stay off crazy astro persons.
Also and above all: won the gas&oil lottery and thus is rich as f**k. Norway is basically a democratic and egalitarian Gulf country.
I'm seeing this so much that I have a question: Can I please sit with him at the crock pot and share the buffalo dip? Very honestly speaking, I haven't even tasted buffalo sauce before.
No it's, "You need to sit in a room all day doing nothing with over a hundred other people. We could give you fifteen bucks, but you don't want that right? You want to differ that. Chance of COVID? Yeah, but don't worry about it."
I used to be the "main character" like this at a bar I went to. I've married the bartender and now we have our own little spinoff.
Go slow. With anything, test the natural receptors in your body. Eat a half of a gummy, eat a stem and cap of shrooms. Wait. Gauge your bodies' response. Be careful and have good friends around.
I would have hired you on the spot. Someone that thinks that fast 100% deserves a job.
Alright, let's go. Word has an F-ton of functions and options that few people even know about. Moving an image is easy, if you know how to do it and tweak the options a bit. PDFs are literally made to be non-editable once saved. It is so they can be safe for storing important documents. Ever wandered why all stores send you bill in a PDF version? It's so you cannot edit it and do scams. Also there are few other programs that can edit them. So if you don't know how to use Word, don't blame the program for your incompetence. If you managed to read it all the way here, thank you for your attention and apologies for the rant. XD
My man if what I do in my real life had any reflection of what I do in my dreams, I'd be out there fighting dragons with pet armadillo's, scouring castles looking for a ghost that owed me money and raising a single chicken in a barn that aliens visited but apparently didn't really like.
And this kids is why you don't believe everything you see on the internet

I'm just here to check if the "I also choose this guy's dead wife" gem is included.
This stuff always makes me laugh! Nice after a 10 hour day! Was kinda missing the one where the guy went back to a bar that he was banned from years ago and as soon as he walked in, the bartender was like, get the hell outta here [guy's name]!!
probably only a couple of these were new to me, the rest is the same stuff that gets posted on every site
Welcome to to bored panda lol where the memes are stale and literally ancient
