About this episode

Daniel and Soren discuss the disappearing Cracked archive and the challenges of preserving internet culture.

Daniel discovers that the Cracked archive is disappearing, which sends the guys back through the internet they grew up with and the strange problem of preserving something that was never built to last. Soren argues that younger people should reclaim the abandoned corners of the web, while Daniel has another idea—treat the internet like a dead mall, get a churro somewhere else, and maybe pave the whole thing.
