A branch, presumably mocking all those "click here to continue" click bait articles.

It's actually a pretty funny piece, with the fake social media bits and all.

[stevejrogers]

I was about to add, yeah, it looks like it mocks all the Buzzfeed type of articles that string together social media posts to make an article as well.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Fake social media ... now there's a phrase I can get behind.

Clickhole ain't the Onion. But it's a weird satire site that my nephew treats as his religion. It's sort of meta, in that it's sort of a clickbait site that mocks articles on clickbait sites (like false death stories) while still being a clickbait site.

ClickHole is a satirical website from The Onion that parodies websites such as Upworthy and BuzzFeed.

Hm. I guess the humor eludes me.

Kinda cute because of the caveman drawing Mr Met.

They should have kept going with Mr. Met through the ages and finally his open casket. What would his tombstone look like? Who does he meet in mascot heaven?

Oh good, more stuff for me to be ignorant about.
