Okay but there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with Homestar Runner. Well... yes there is, but there's nothing wrong with the site aside from it being built in Flash.

I remember them making a metajoke[1] about Flash being dead and Strongbad was trying to rapidly learn HTML5 as a result lol

There is a Poopsmith.

I have to assume that us quoting Strongbad seemed as weird to our parents as this skibidi toilet or whatever is gem these days.

Honestly I would have struggled to describe to my parents why on earth I was howling with laughter when "homsar" became a thing on Homestar Runner. I'm quite happy that Gen Z have their own weird humour like skibidi toilet that is impenetrable for older people like me.

There's even a level that I can genuinely enjoy this little universe too - I have no idea if these tweets and replies are made by someone invested in the whole toilet thing or poking fun at it (likely the latter) but I loved them: https://twitter.com/nleglopnar/status/1679676790401380357
