i was always wondering what kind of wacky stuff that forumers from here have done in the real world,
good or bad
so i can trace back to the BLF and say as trivia to my friends that go something like

"Yeah i know a guy that leaked the tf2 source code" - Maxx
"I know the person that made Big Chungus famous" - IkeTheGeneric
"I just learned the person behind KiwiFarms used to be on the forums" - iBan
if these are wrong or different people did these lmk but im just interested how the roots of this forum have spread around the world and affected it lmao
thanks guys love you hope youre doing well

ike made big chungus famous? the forget? can he like, undo that, or something. i had to listen to people call everything a chungus well into 2020 during tech school and it was awful.

ike definitely started the big chungus meme, but not the "ps4-big-chungus-game" picture that actually made it take off

Ike was watching Looney toons on YouTube and he took the exact screenshot of big chungus and posted it in the clique group all the time and it became an inside joke for us. at the time we just called it Fat Bugs Bunny. he also posted it on /x/ and it became an /x/ meme for a while before turning into Big chungus

ah alright, makes sense. i think i saw it spread around on discord back then before it became a huge thing but i still can't forget the memories of 30 year olds calling random aircraft parts a chungus in class.

lol a bit of the same thing happened with me and another guy before with that seal eating cement meme that went around for a little bit. i spammed the original image in a private server, someone else made the caption, i ended up posting it elsewhere cause i thought it was funny, and now i have my reddit account on a loving know your meme article.
