Fark.com, launched in 1999 by Drew Curtis, is a cornerstone of early internet culture known for its unique news curation and biting sarcasm. The 'Fark' meme style typically revolves around bizarre news headlines, the iconic squirrel mascot, and recurring tropes like 'I for one welcome our new insect overlords.' As a precursor to modern social platforms like Reddit, Fark pioneered the community-driven meme through its legendary Photoshop contests and specific 'tagging' system for news. Today, creators use the Fark aesthetic to poke fun at ridiculous news cycles or to pay homage to the golden era of web communities where wit, snark, and cynicism reigned supreme.
