Random thought, and one i'm just sort of clearing from my brain. What if, as one of the selected "series" for Chronicles, at one point, the Rifts just spit out a collection of legendary YT videos/video series and memes, though of the variety that the group would find of cultural significance? Could make for some fun reactions.
Even just
general memes would have some interesting reactions, I imagine.
...Imagine how they'd react to
Evangelion memes

Strange looks were given to a
filing cabinet, which had just popped through a Rift into their kitchen. Of course, they started going through it almost
immediately. "What the fuck
is this?"
"And why does it involve
us?"
"I believe these are called
memes." Kaworu analysed. "In some realities, the globalisation of the Internet has led to the constant growth, spread, and death of various jokes and other such humour, often with absurdist qualities that tends to increase as time goes on."
Asuka took a random meme from the cabinet.
She grimly chuckled, as she showed it around. "I mean, it's
true. At least from a Laserdisc perspective."
"It's not even
that absurd." Shinji remarked in curiosity. "I mean, yeah, it's
Simpsons. But
that's an alright show."
Rei furrowed her brow at yet
another meme she unsurfaced. "I believe I have found a
more absurd...
meme."
"Oh for
fuck's sake." Asuka muttered, picking up on the message. "Who
makes stuff like that?"
"...Who even
are they?"
Just then, another Rift opened and batted Shinji in the head with an Ultradisc copy of a movie named 'Monsters Inc'.
"I assume it is from
there." Summarised Kaworu.
Shinji's unamused look went unabated from the discomfort caused by flying plastic boxes. "You have a keen mind, Kaworu."
