I feel like we should put a rest to the term “breaking the internet.”

Am I the only one here completely out of the loop?

Yeah nothing viral has really ever broken the internet.

Ellen Degenerate’s Oscar tweet sort of broke Twitter briefly, I can’t think of much else.

Nowadays Twitter breaks itself spontaneously, no celeb needed

Does Elon musk not count as a celeb? Because he was definitely needed to break twitter.

Definitely doesn't count. There's famous, and then there's infamous.

Ellen was also quite infamous among her crew.

Facebook fucking up their BGP 2 years ago broke the internet for like 1/3 of the world

Which is less impressive considering a gentle breeze can break Twitter now.

On the same topic, the Will Smith/Chris Rock Oscar slap pretty much saturated the internet for a few days

And Gangnam style broke the youtube view counter too, but your point stands
