Are there any Reddit level shitposts here on Lemmy?

Stuff on the level of "poop knife", CBAT or "It's a cylinder".

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.
- All this and no mention of potash?
  
  This is about viral shitposts. Potash is and always was; the alpha and the omega; the one truth.
- We also had a pretty major phase about pondering orbs
  
  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.
- There was also something recently about potash that I never looked into but was wondering what it's all about
  
  Potash is eternal, tis no meme ;)
  
  I feel like potash was a Millhouse situation.

the shitposting on Reddit is almost entirely alt-right now

You must not have been here for the beans
- I wasn't 😪
  
  What about the jeans?

I need to survive for three days without pooping.
- I almost laughed my intestines out😂
- I was going to guess “music festival”, but
  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).
  Thanks for the link!

The guy who used a thermal camera on his toilet water before and after pooping yesterday was pretty magical
- Gonna need the link to that

The guy who wanted to not poop for 3 days.

  You shoulda joined us a year earlier.

Idk go to reddit its still up somehow

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

!lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

There was the "How can I hold my poop for three days" post. That one got pretty big

There will never be another shitpost, on any platform, on the same level as the poop knife.
