It is in the process of being colonized by self-publishing, book binder schizos who refuse to be wagie in the cagie or give 2/3rds of their profit to Amazon or Lulu.

There was one poster who would spam it in every /v/ thread. I’m guessing that’s how it ended up on readit

Yeah it’s actually so surreal. I wonder how the guy who started the meme feels about it

So I want to know, was big chungus a meme first or did the "easy on the carrots" post start big chungus?

Feels weird being part of a small board that's the incubator for mainstream memes.

It certainly does, but /lit/ isn't as small as it was a few years ago, or even a year ago.

Covid was the exception. There's still a permeant population increase over the past few years.

Also what the hell is that spike in 2019?

I only arrived here from Reddit last month, but boy do I wish I were here for creation of the Big Chungus meme, that'd be something to tell the grandkids about.
