On April 1st 2017, something remarkable happened. While the Internet lords of Reddit always create social experiments to hype their loyal anons, this year was different somehow. With only a 1000x1000 pixel canvas, and a few strict rules, Reddit created one of the most powerful and sociologically interesting pieces of art we've ever seen, and a landmark moment in Internet lore. Place dawned wars, allegiances, memes, a basic good vs. evil struggle against the eternal void that is 4chan, and more impressively than probably anything, overshadowed the premier of the third season of Rick & Morty. That dear listeners, is a feat.
