I feel like we should put a rest to the term “breaking the internet.”
Am I the only one here completely out of the loop?
Yeah nothing viral has really ever broken the internet.
Ellen Degenerate’s Oscar tweet sort of broke Twitter briefly, I can’t think of much else.
Nowadays Twitter breaks itself spontaneously, no celeb needed
Does Elon musk not count as a celeb? Because he was definitely needed to break twitter.
Definitely doesn't count. There's famous, and then there's infamous.
Ellen was also quite infamous among her crew.
There was that CDN that went down a couple years ago, that literally broke the internet briefly
Laurel
...aaand hearty handshake!
You'd do it for Hedy Lamarr!
BRAINSTORM
Facebook fucking up their BGP 2 years ago broke the internet for like 1/3 of the world
Which is less impressive considering a gentle breeze can break Twitter now.
On the same topic, the Will Smith/Chris Rock Oscar slap pretty much saturated the internet for a few days
True, but the point is that didn't break it
And Gangnam style broke the youtube view counter too, but your point stands
A Homestuck flash broke Newgrounds once
The internet never breaks, it only splits
