I'd argue Kyle Hill [0] should have been mentioned since his coverage appears instrumental in this trend.

Also, if you are so inclined, there are also Chernobyl memes [1].

My spouse works in a nuclear research facility. Everytime they talk about radiation or something i make jokes from the HBO "Chernobyl" series like "3.6 Röntgen, not good, not terrible".

Some years ago i gifted them a snow globe for birthday, but not one with a snowman and white particles, but one with a little chernobyl plant and black particles. Their coworkers found it funny. It is still at their desk these days.

> but one with a little chernobyl plant and black particles.

Now I want one. Where did you buy it from if you don't mind me asking?

From Ukraine via eBay. It shipped within 2 weeks despite the ongoing war. It is apparently a popular tourist souvenir.
Sorry to hijack this thread. I'm using a Dec Vt220, 420 and 510. You posted a git link back in 2020 with your improvements to making it useful. The link no longer works. Are you able to provide an updated link?
I have a site named yin at neocities, from the index page, bottom-most link. I'm not linking directly because it redirects to weeb trash if there is a social site in the referrer.

Also if you have questions about the VT520, you could join ##asm on libera IRC.

Thanks, found it.
This meme easily predates Kyle Hill's coverage. This is from 2016 https://www.pixiv.net/artworks/55580841 and I'm pretty sure there are examples from earlier years.
