        Exactly my thought. Looks pretty boring and not something I would consider sharing even if it was a single button push.

          Yeah, and 5 years ago, this would have at least been a somewhat interesting slice-of-life picture. Now it’s just bullshit. This could just as well be Mozart smoking a fat one at a McCleopatra’s in feudal China. It would be just as a meaningful.

      It didn’t go viral. The article said it went viral to make a viral.

      I spend an embarrassingly stupid amount of time on the internet.

      Every time I see an article describing something as “viral”, it’s almost always the first time I’m hearing about it. (Also, coincidentally often the last time)

      It was posted in some community on Lemmy. I saw it in my feed but don’t remember where.
