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.
Oh, there are more things not to envy. Trust me on this.
Load More Replies...I see a lot of these posts, is it normal for girls for to findout about menstruation only when it happens? Parents don't like give some prior warning like "hey girl, just so you know one day you might find some blood and its totally normal and something everyone goes through...."
For me personally, school had educated me, but it still came as a shock when it happened, because in my mind I was supposed to have at least two more blood-free years before they came. But, well, they came early. It was very upsetting... though the blood wasn't really the issue, it was the pain I wasn't truly prepared for. "It's unpleasant" was the biggest lie of my life.
Load More Replies...That horrible realisation. I'm glad I don't have to endure it but support my sisters. The creators of society. Women. The pain you endure ensures the longevity of the human race. For better or worse. Thank you.
People, stop assuming she didn't know about periods. It's one thing to know about them, it's another to deal with the reality. It could well be the later.
Due to strict Catholic upbringing. I couldn’t tell my mum. I used my sisters pads. The give away was the retching the next day at lunch (onion soup) where mum told me to go to bed and would be up in a bit. That’s when I got the talk- at 16! School talked about periods at 12- I feel it should be sooner as some girls are younger
And then trying not to get pregnant, then trying toget pregnant, then being peri menopausal, then being menopausal.............men on the other hand**** have it so easy
The weird part here is not that she got her period at 14, it's that she's 14 and doesn't know about periods.
All I can say is thank f**k for the contraceptive implant and its phenomenal period stopping power!
My daughter said, after her first one. "Wow, I'm glad I only have to do that until I grow up." Oh, honey.
As a father, you gotta let one slide here and there. Kids are people too. Sure they don't pay rent and yet complain about the food.
What tf are you talking about??? The fact that she said F*** or the fact that she's FOURTEEN and doesn't know about periods??
Load More Replies...Wait till she finds out that after 30 to 40 years of painful bleeding she gets to enjoy her vag drying up, weight gain, the excitement of growing a beard, and hot flashes that make you soak thru whatever you're wearing. The years before puberty are the only good ones.
I feel like that starts around 30, for a lot of vag-owners. Don't have to wait that long :(
Load More Replies...It takes so long to stop. I'm finally there and don't wish it on my worst enemy. Well maybe my ex husband can have it but you know what I mean.
That is a totally valid response after learning that lovely nugget of information.
Suggestion: hormonal IUDs often stop periods for years. Not for everyone, but they do generally make them much less intense at least.
Yes! I have one and haven't had a period since 3 months after it was put in
Load More Replies...The parents really should have explained that to her when she was much younger. Kids need proper sexual education, which includes learning a lot of things about both female and male bodies. But I do realize that maybe he could have worded it incorrectly here, it could be that she already knew that it happens every month, but now that she's actually experienced a period, this is the first moment she actually realized what it really means to have this every month. So I hope that's the case.
I'm pretty sure what I'm experiencing now, re: this post—becuz I had the same reaction @ 11—, would qualify in the DSM-5 as PTSD. Just shy of 50 and thinking, "Wholly f**k, this BS STILL Isn't over?!?!?!" Yeah, not even CLOSE to menopause.
I'm now 54 and finally gone through it. Five years ago, I was wondering if they were ever going to end, especially as they were getting heavier and longer, then they just... stopped. It'll happen, but yes I know exactly where you're coming from, I thought they'd never go away as well. Hang in there.
Load More Replies...What they also don't tell you is how terrible premenopause is, especially when you're belonging to the unlucky group of women getting their period every 2 weeks.
Every 2 weeks FOR 3 weeks. Done with that load.
Load More Replies...My friend stayed at 9. That year they took all the 4th graders (the bulk of the 9yr olds) and taught us about puberty. The girls and boys were separated (I think the boys could have been informed on some things three girls go through and how to not be an a*****e about it, but this was public school in 1997). Also the girls sessions were longer than the boys, I guess because there's a bit more involved about female anatomy and puberty than with males.... lucky bastards..
Load More Replies...Amendment...do Trans women who have breast implants have to have mammograms?
If Trans people had to have periods there would be much less gender confusion 😕. Not to mention actually birthing, breastfeeding a child and going through menopause.
42 and I'm with ya sista. I mean I'm glad it means no babies but also it hurts I hate it.
Dude I was like can I make a deal with nature and just do all my periods in one go. Like 6 months straight then nothing till death do us part. Do not miss my period, the.one plus of menopause.
The VERY best part of menopause (and there aren't many) is stopping that nonsense. Yeehaaahhh!!!! No More!!!
Really? You waited until she was 14 to tell her about periods? What if it happened earlier? Girls have literally thought they were dying because parents never told them.
Born in 1954, Hysterectomy in 1999, I was never so thankful for anything in my life as that surgery that took away so MANY MANY problems.
Why is she learning this at 14? I had to learn it at 9, 4 years before my first period, at school.
I used to think like that too but then my periods got all f****d up due to pcos and every period became a miracle (3-6 months between sometimes) and made me realize i needed to eat and do better for myself. Hormone imbalances give you a weird new perspective on it, its more than just a period
just wait til she finds out how many men have taken a stand to eliminate ALL of her health rights.. just wait til she votes..
So… her sex education started when she was 14 and had her first period? Shameful.
If there's ever a time that launching an f-bomb is an appropriate reaction, I think that'd pretty well top the list. If I was her dad, I wouldn't even punish her for it, I'd be more like 'sometimes we deserve a freebie. That's one of several you get.' Frankly if she limited it to just an f-nuke and a slammed door, I'd be impressed with her restraint.
Every guy realizes we're finally a man when we happily go to the store, find the nicest, sweetest, grandma-looking-ist store employee, and ask where the super plus box of 54 overnight tampons are. Real men buy their ladies what they need 💪. Cause ain't no fúckin way we'd wanna trade places. Nope.
And hint, to make sure you get the right ones - take a picture of the package that includes brand, name, type and any other detail possible - only time it's 'acceptable' to snoop in her bathroom/ cabinet
Load More Replies...The only time screaming the F-bomb and slamming a door is not going to be punishable......
You waited until she was 14 to tell her? This seems like it could've been explained BEFORE it happened.
At 14 why would she not already know that? We were taught about eggs and (what I misheard and said for about 3 years) Philippine tubes at about 9 or 10!
She was 14 when she learned this. Says something about the state of education system, doesn't it?
Birth control! As long as she's lucky enough for it to work properly anyways. I'm on the DEPO shot, and for all the horror stories I've heard, my only side effects have been loss of libido and interest in different hobbies and gaining weight. But I'll definitely take that over having a week long, extremely heavy period with bad bloating and cramps, spotting for another one to two weeks, having my immune system c**p out and get sick each time, and never knowing when my next one will start.
Once upon a time in America, all of the boys were removed from the classroom and a female teacher and a female nurse taught 11-12 year old girls about this in public school. We were given a film to watch about menstruation and how and why our bodies changing. We were shown various feminine hygiene products and their uses were explained. These were available, as needed, from the school nurse's office. Any and all questions were answered courteously, factually and thoroughly before the class ended. This miracle was happening in the 1970's. WTF ever happened between my 6th grade and today?????
Not unusual. Some of us are lucky and start even later.
Load More Replies...That's not abnormal, every body is different, some girls start earlier, some later.
Load More Replies...Something went wrong in that girl's education if she didn't know that before the ripe old age of 14. Also, who starts their period that late?
Anywhere between 10 and 15 is considered within average range. At age 13 around 77% of girls have or already have had their first period, at age 14 around 90% and at age 15 around 96%. So it's not very rare to have your first period at 14.
Load More Replies...I am a man, married for 25 years and frankly sir, I do not agree with you.
Load More Replies...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.
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
