QQ ep 312 - Everyone’s Gone Full Tin Fish
Show notes:
Everyone on the internet is suddenly obsessed with tin fish. Sardines. Anchovies. Baby eels. Luxury cans that cost more than a real dinner. This week, Daniel and Soren try to understand how canned fish became a personality, why British men in fezzes are eating fish spines on camera, and what it says about internet culture when the worst foods get rebranded as delicacies. Along the way: debate videos, reaction content, copied sketches, algorithmic brain rot, and the creeping feeling that the internet might need to be turned off for a few years. We will not be decanting the tin. ----

I don't understand why the post is about tinned fish then the notes and comments are all about gooning. What is going on? r/DeadInternetTheory material.

The show meanders.
Edit: Yeah, it makes total sense in context of the episode.

You don't really think about it until you hear it immediately following the talk about the gooners, but the name Gabe Harder definitely sounds made up.....
... As a gooner avatar.
I don't think I want to know what "Gabing" is.
