You think you’re just scrolling through the most badass and silly images on the internet. You’re on an Avonetics board like 'hardimages2,' minding your own business, when you start to see it. A ghost in the machine. A bizarre, repeating whisper in the digital wind: BASKETBALL. Why does this one word connect everything from hyper-nuked memes and obscure dog breeds to vintage photography and surreal sketches? We investigated the strange phenomenon linking dozens of completely unrelated Avonetics communities, and what we uncovered points to one of two earth-shattering conclusions. EITHER you are witnessing a massive, coordinated inside joke by a digital secret society hiding in plain sight...OR the Avonetics recommendation algorithm has a shocking, inexplicable bias that is warping the entire platform around a single sport. This isn't a coincidence; it's a pattern. We're exposing the secret thread that ties the weirdest corners of the internet together. Prepare to question everything you see in your feed.
