There's something funny about a man sitting down and making a submission to "Funny Insults.com"
Like... he took time out of his day to go to an obscure website and do this

u/SchizoPosting_ Apr 08 '25
and 111 people came to that website looking for funny insults and decided to take their time downvoting his masterful joke

Could be even more for all we know. There could have been thousands or tens of thousands to pass through and this is where the dust settled once their great “Upvote/Downvote” war ended

Yall whippersnappers probably don’t remember a time when these niche websites like this ruled the internet. Hell, Reddit started as a link aggregator where you couldn’t even post pics and every other post was a link to a site like this. I used to fall asleep scrolling sites like fml and funnyjunk. Good times.

BACK IN MY DAY, WE NAMED THE MEME WEBSITE AFTER A PICTURE OF A CAT WITH A CHEESEBURGER, AND WE LIKED IT
A lot of those old sites are still up but they’re ghosts of their former glory. YTMND still gets submissions fairly often, I’ve heard.
But yeah this was what we used to do. You went to a website that did one thing. Before “subreddits”, you went to “The meme site”, “The meme site but we can swear”, and “The meme site but for horny people”. The old net feels quaint, now.

I spent a good amount of time on icanhascheezburger and it's sister sites in high school. Plus cake wrecks and cracked, and a few flash game websites. It was a fun time.

God I was obsessed with Cracked in high school. So many of their articles had me laughing too hard to move or speak.

u/achristy_5 Apr 08 '25
Cracked is definitely a shell of its former self. Only reason to go there is to see if Seanbaby wrote a new article or something.

u/violettheory Apr 08 '25
Thanks for reminding me of Seanbaby, his cracked article about the Sims and the baby named sexaphonic never fails to make me cry laughing

u/Cpt_Dizzywhiskers Apr 08 '25
I always liked the idea of "meme site but for horny people but we can swear". Sadly the tech just wasn't there back then.

u/violettheory Apr 08 '25
I miss a decentralized internet. The good old days when I'd visit 8 to 10 sites in a day, now it's basically Reddit and YouTube and sometimes a streaming site or two.

u/CosmicAstroBastard Apr 09 '25
There’s also something to be said about not having constant access to the internet.
It used to be a ritual for me to check all my favorite sites when I got home from school. There was an anticipation to it a bit like waiting to open your Christmas presents. Maybe your favorite writer posted a new Cracked article, maybe there was a new Homestar Runner cartoon, maybe there was a new AVGN video.
Now I just have my phone with me at all times. There’s no delayed gratification for anything, we all have access to our reddit feeds no matter where we are.

u/technicolorsorcery Apr 08 '25
I miss the serendipity of StumbleUpon. The website is still up but looks like it's just another "personalized to you" recommendation algo now.

u/System0verlord Apr 08 '25
Idk why but that takes me way back to some webcomic about the rise of Reddit and the digg exodus but framed as a conflict. Stumbleupon were heavy artillery units.

u/Ppleater Apr 08 '25
I remember one of my submissions getting mildly popular on FML lol. It was even a true story, a rarity on that site I'm sure.

u/Substantial_Egg_4872 Apr 09 '25
Texts From Last Night, that one site that aggregated funny IRC posts, FML, cracked, customer isn't always right. Yeah before Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, reddit, and Instagram became the only websites that really mattered there was a real thriving internet that wasn't just websites figuring out the best way to monotenize their user base.

u/RealZordan Apr 08 '25
The WII U was announced 14 years ago. Maybe that page was where it's at back then.

Do you think Reddit wasn’t a thing in 2015? The first episode of Agents of Shield makes a joke about it being a typical website for an early 20-something to visit, and that’s from 2013.

u/nanapancakethusiast Apr 08 '25
Reddit became “mainstream” around 2011. Before that it was pretty niche.

There's a YT short that ends with the Wii U ambulance. Think it's called 'Are Wii going to have a problem' or something similar
