Old internet to me is straight up pointlesswasteoftime.com, which eventually got absorbed by Cracked like a cheap suppository after David Wong (aka mediocre comedy writer Jason Pargin) sold out. That was in 2007. And now Cracked is functionally a content graveyard.

Fuck I’m old.

I'll have you know that Cracked is the number one source for shitty listicles that were generated by running a /r/AskReddit thread through an AI.

I assume, at least. Haven't actually visited cracked since before 2010 probably.

It got bought out by the company that owns KnowYourMeme, ebaumsworld, and the "I can has cheezeburger?" website in 2019. That's pretty much all you need to know.
