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.

C'mon. It's easy to get into Harvard. Go to Cambridge Massachusetts. Take an Uber to Harvard's front gate. Then walk through the gate. Voilà! You're in Harvard!

That's like the old joke," You always know when someone's gone to Harvard. They'll tell you within 5 minutes."
I would definitely tell everyone I got into Harvard within 5 minutes. In my dreams.

I once had a boyfriend who owned a new Porsche, and had a sizable ego because of it. So I always pronounced it Porshki just to annoy him.
I had a witness in court. I mistakenly called him Mr. So and so. That set him right off. He corrected me in the most arrogant of ways boiling down to he should be addressed as professor So and so. Seeings how he responded like a total dillweed I proceeded to mistakenly address him as mister every single time. Mr. Snooty pants corrected me every.single.time. I thought it got funnier and funnier and he got more and more torqued. It was glorious.
"Legacy" is another name for "White Affirmative Action"/

We have no idea whether they were stuck up and looking down on other people, the only thing we know is they go to Harvard, they might have been lovely and humble people. Being mean to them only because they go to Harvard, is pretty stupid. They probably had to work hard to get there, there's no reason to belittle that (and yes, some people have a much higher chance of getting good grades and getting into Harvard, things are not equal and fair, but that doesn't mean these didn't ALSO have to work hard to get good grades)
The implication though is that they were name dropping Harvard ad nauseam...been there done that with a person from Princeton....they let you know everytime they would talk to you and it's like get over yourself already.

My brother once said "those Toyota's look very nice nowadays" about a Tesla. To it's owner. Also very funny.
A guy I know had just got a brand new fancy Mercedes. I asked him if that was the new Toyota.

Harvard is now a s**t school where they let anyone in if they met “certain” criteria regardless of how smart (or stupid) they are.
Remember the TV show "Green Acres".? In Hootersville there was "The Harvard School of Hypnotism". Every time Oliver Wendell Douglas bragged he graduated from Harvard people would ask him to hypnotism them. (PS: I still can't believe the show's writers got away with naming a town "Hootersville".)
Except they had to know this guy was saying that just to be obnoxious. I went to school with several people from Harvard. They were actually very humble about it, Harvard is broken up into smaller colleges. They would always say the name of the college. So if you didn't know those were a part of Harvard you'd just think they went to a small college.
Should actually be on the "didn't happen" list. Harvard people are so certain that they are superior they are not the slightest bit bothered if you say that you've never heard of Harvard. If you truly have never heard of Harvard, they don't care about you or your opinion. If anything, they would have laughed long and hard, and then turned away and ignored the OP. It's like telling a very wealthy person "Oh, you have a Rolls-Royce? I've never heard of that auto make". They won't get mad, they'll just ignore you after that.
Would have loved to be a fly on the wall for this one. Those Harvard guys all rode home in their Beamers with their tails between their legs.
Perfect response! We need something that disses all Ivy League schools. Like - is that an agricultural college?
What would make them mad also too on top of it is saying the word wrong repeatedly to them, and say thats what you hear from their accent.
I worked with a guy who showed me the website of his brother's law firm. Under his brother's picture was "B.A. Harvard, LL.D. Harvard Law School". I said "I'd be more impressed if your brother graduated from an ACCREDITED Law School" and walked away.
Stolen tweet, @JenJJams tweeted it in January, who knows if she stole it...
Hah! The community college I went to was on Harvard street. Pretty sure they did that on purpose.
You must have been valedictorian of your charm school

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.
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
