You would appear to be following me from thread to thread.
Also might I remind you that you’re not a Mod.
Maybe bacon is the root of anti-Semitism. It’s awfully hard to trust someone who won’t eat bacon.
Well, he’s credited with developing the theoretical foundations of the scientific method. That’s pretty majorly significant.
He’s also a fundamental in non-kinematic connection theory.
People like to jump on absolute superlative bandwagons. It’s the same with Chuck Norris. It just wouldn’t have the same effect if there were a dozen or so equally used examples to represent the most or best of something, so there needs to be an end all and be all. What gets chosen to become THE representative of something is due to many factors,but mostly “say-a-bility” . (ie, Chuck Norris probably wouldn’t have become such a meme if he went by Charley Norris, bacon wouldn’t have it was called “pork belly strips”, etc.)
Also, the word is phonetically correct to become a meme. Most internet object memes are two syllables, with emphasis on the first. Bacon. Ninja. Pirate. Hobo. Narwhal. Robot. Monkey. Butler.
I don’t know why this is, but it’s indisputable.
It seems to have taken off on the web in 2009 and some have said it started with Homer Simpson’s “mmm bacon” quote.

Or salt.
As mentioned by others, bacon is just incredibly good tasting, and the name is fun to say.
Not everyone worships the taste, but many do. It’s one of the few animal fats that even people who hate the taste of fat like. It’s salty. It’s crispy. It’s finger food. It smells --to many-- divine while being cooked.
Many times I’ve cooked bacon and people come in and eat it before it can make it to the serving plate.
Yes I am. Even though I don’t recognize your username or have any what you are talking about, but that is the only reasonable explanation.
I’m well aware of that. Which is why I didn’t warn you for posting information in GQ in clear contradiction to the facts, which I assumed was your lame attempt at a joke.
Those bacon-flavored dog treats, Beggin’ Strips, built up the bacon mythos long before there was an Internet.
Roots are the bacon of anti-Semitism, though.
I have no idea what that means. It just sounds right.
Salt isn’t kosher?
Bacon and the internet are both great.
It’s BACON!
Press Button, Receive Bacon goes back a few years too.
I’m not Jewish and so I don’t know the details, but there are apparently a number of foods that are “normally” kosher, but have additional, more stringent rules applied to them during Passover.
The Morton Kosher Salt I use at work isn’t just kosher, it’s labeled “Kosher for Passover”.
No, no, it isn’t that the salt itself is all that kosherific—it’s used in the process of koshering meat. It pulls the blood out of the flesh.
If you really wanted to go meme-arific, you’d eat bacon with sriracha.
Seriously, go anywhere else and eat some bacon. Your epiphany awaits. “All this time, I thought this was as good as it could possibly get! And yet…”*
*Disclaimer: I prefer “regular/American-style” bacon to back/Canadian bacon, except on Eggs Benedict. Both of these are to Danish bacon as sad bits of neglected pork discarded by butchers preparing ham hocks salvaged by soaking in soy sauce for an hour are to the sort of bacon which gets paired with eggs and reconstituted potato hash browns at Denny’s.
Danish bacon is the sort of bacon that makes you regret everything you’ve ever settled for as breakfast for four decades, transmogrifies the best chili you’ve ever tasted into ashes in your mouth, and makes you curse Canada for ever being presumptuous enough to make timid suggestions as to how pizza possibly might be improved on. It’s approximately what MDMA would be like if it were 10% saturated fat and 5% sodium.
Do not ever attempt to speak about bacon again until you’ve had had Danish bacon - you might as well be speaking about Schneiders’ sandwich bologna.
