On Lemmy these viral things consume the site for about 3ish days every few months, then fade into lore. The first one I was here for was when were were all obsessed with not pooping for 3 days. There were the beans. There was a longer one where almost every post on the site was some reference to Saddam Hussein's spider hole. There was a period where every upvoted post had to contain one or more black cats.
Clean toilets with all the expected facilities will be available to me.
kinda ruled that out [italics mine]. Music festival port-a-potties are pretty gross, and running water is nothing but a pleasant memory. I wonder how things went (or, more accurately, didn’t).
There was someone who asked how to prevent pooping for 3 days and wouldn't really say why. It was very important not to, even though facilities would be available. I do not recall all the details ... Don't know if it reached that, but there was a definite buzz about the communities for a while after and I still see a reference here n there.

We also had a pretty major phase about pondering orbs
sbv@sh.itjust.works · 23 pts · 1y
Those were good times. I still think about it sometimes.

Right! I was away from things for a day and when I came back everything as wizards and orbs. I forgot.

All this and no mention of potash?
Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de · 7 pts · 1y
This is about viral shitposts. Potash is and always was; the alpha and the omega; the one truth.

There was also something recently about potash that I never looked into but was wondering what it's all about
Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
I feel like potash was a Millhouse situation.

I was going to guess “music festival”, but
kinda ruled that out [italics mine]. Music festival port-a-potties are pretty gross, and running water is nothing but a pleasant memory. I wonder how things went (or, more accurately, didn’t).
Thanks for the link!

The guy who used a thermal camera on his toilet water before and after pooping yesterday was pretty magical
GrammarPolice@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y

I think some of the great ones people are mentioning here can be found on !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world
Edit: yeah there is an awesome index of the poop challenge + memes in this post: https://sopuli.xyz/post/915164
Edit 2: damnit the poop posts were deleted... But the memes are there

HuntressHimbo@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 1y
There was the "How can I hold my poop for three days" post. That one got pretty big
ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one · 5 pts · 1y
Right now someone is posting each line from the movie, the Room. I believe they that they are at Day 75.
