Well all the other ones seem to see it necessary.

I once wore my robes, then the call of another kind came. My heart still follows him, our savior, Lord Birb.

So anyways, it's the internet and people are weird. Trying to understand it is merely a lesson in futility, just like how I can't comprehend why people would willingly own cats.

Because cats are better than dogs. I do t have to walk them or anything. Feed em, show them where they poop and you are good. Oh and they don’t bark and yip. I hate yippy dogs.

This thread was supposed to be serious, but I guess if you question the silly people you get them to arrive with their abundance of eccentricities and turn any thread upside down.

and lastly the song "never gonna give you up"

Once upon a time, in the days of old, when the internet was a series of rusty, lead tubes, there was a prank wherein someone would present you with a link, following a brief, "Hey, isn't this what you were looking for?" or, "Found this thing you might like, check it out" or some other blurb to pique your curiosity. So, you'd click the link, and at the time this prank was going around, "streaming" audio was just taking hold, instead of waiting for the page to load content first, so the music would start playing before you saw what it was. And it was always this song. Why this song? I have no idea why, and I don't think anyone does. Likely as one that people didn't like in a group of friends, and it just grew from there.

 

Yes, there was a point in history, when you would let the song download completely (or about 70 per cent) before you hit play, or else you'd run into "buffering" issues every few seconds.

 

EDIT: So, to explain that bit: That's just a universal internet meme from yesteryear that is kind of fun to bring around again. Like "I Can Haz Cheezburger" or "The Game".

Thank you, you are the first one to properly explain one of the things I asked about.

They aren't better than dogs. I don't walk my dogs and they take themselves outside to poop so it doesn't stink up the house. They also actually enjoy being sociable and are more of a pet than a fish.

Someone else mentioned that there's already people that don't know what that is, and I said it was a while ago, followed by me saying memes. You could literally google it and find the answer on that one.
