I'm not a fan of 'starter packs'

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

As in, the memes? Fair enough.

Eh, I like them, but once we get more memes going I could see them being relegated to their own community

Buncha reddit cringe like:

"The narwhal bacons at midnight" "Owling"

I cannot abide that shit.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What was the whole narwhal thing?

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's a code phrase to identify other Redditors in real life. If you ask someone, "When does the narwhal bacon?" they answer, "At midnight." Then you both know you are part of the cool secret Reddit club.

It started in this thread. A user was bored at an airport and tried to identify other traveling Reddit users for fun.
