Cohost in memoriam: only carbon now
On a site that I've seen described as "a retirement home for the greatest posters of our generation"[1], there's only shitpost that truly shook it to its foundations. It's not my favorite @willow post, it's the only post that went so viral on here that it seemed like the entire website was riffing on it for days afterwards. (not to mention permanently altering my vocabulary). You know it, you love it[2], it's the obituary for Ryan Reynolds:
It's actually kind of shocking to me that the phrase "he is only carbon now" doesn't appear as such in the original post, because that's how I (mis)quote it constantly all the time.
