The 'Thanks to the Miracle of the World Wide Web' meme originates from a Season 4 episode of The Simpsons, titled 'Marge Gets a Job.' In the scene, Ned Flanders is showing Marge a video about the capabilities of the early internet. While the original clip was a dated look at early 90s connectivity, the internet has repurposed it to highlight the absurd, niche, or oddly specific things people encounter online today. It is frequently used as a satirical commentary on how the vast power of global communication is often used for trivial purposes or obscure hobbies, making it a staple for mocking modern social media habits and digital culture.
