in your opinion, what would meet the definition of "broke the Internet?" - Lemmy.World

The term is quite over used in my opinion, it is very often used in hyperbole. Whether it is in terms of popularity and driving traffic to a website or a threat said to break the Internet, it doesn’t seem to live up to the meaning of the term.

Gangnam Style - not quite the internet, but it got so many views that YouTube had to change the code used for displaying views count because it had more than 2,147,483,647 views (some of you may recognize it as the maximum number a signed 32 bit integer can store).

Yeah, I think that was the last viral thing that was so popular that it (even in this small way) broke the Internet.
