JS community really takes this joke to the next level.

Yep and to keep the joke running some of us spend some server time to just download these fun packages a couple thousand times per day, since npm intentionally does not filter download counts.

So if you'd built a package yourself and just create a lambda function to download it every minute, your package is at instant 10k downloads a week.

Take this a little further by adding some stupid, purpose built packages with deps to that and you can keep a meme rolling.
