Please excuse my ignorance, but what is "the narwhal bacons at midnight"?
Reddit folklore.
In the times when it felt like a small community, someone was in an airport, I think and thought another person was on Reddit. They asked how they could tell for sure, and it was decided there should be a question someone could ask, where the answer would make it clear that they were a Reddit user. The question was “when does a narwhal bacon”. The answer was midnight.
Dear lord I'm old. I was in that thread.
i'm glad i wasn't -- i thought i was terminally online until i saw this. lol
I used to be, but now I check Lemmy a couple times a day for a few mins. Otherwise I'm reading or watching Nebula.
Same. Need some ibuprofen? I got the 800s
