Loreline (loreline.live) is a collaborative story platform where anyone can upload footage, photos, and clips and assemble them into a "loreline", a living visual story that plays back in chronological order, with scenes ordered by the real date they happened.

How does Loreline work?

Each loreline is a timeline of scenes (photos, video clips, or embedded media such as YouTube). Scenes are placed by their real capture date, so the finished loreline plays back as a chronological story. Multiple people can contribute to the same public loreline, so the story grows and evolves over time.

What can you do on Loreline?

You can create your own story from scratch, browse and watch public lorelines on topics like history, music, sports, film, and culture, contribute footage to open community stories, and embed any public loreline into a blog or article.

Is Loreline the same as the open-source interactive-fiction language?

No. loreline.live is a collaborative story platform for building chronological visual stories. It is unrelated to any same-named programming or interactive-fiction language.

Scientology SpeedrunIn 2024 the internet turned the Church of Scientology into a video game. The "Scientology speedrun": run through the front doors of an org and get as deep inside as you can, past the front desk, down the corridor, toward the auditing rooms, before staff stop you, then post the clip timed like a speedrun. It bred world-record "deepest runs," a meme economy of compilations, a wave of news warnings, commentary from every big reaction channel, and a real backlash when the "raids" turned reckless and teens got arrested. This is the full run.
MEEpThe story of MEEP, the calico cat @calicocattimi (Timi) whose little "meep" went from a few hundred views to 58 million and a global TikTok sound trend.
Moo DengThe story of Moo Deng, the baby pygmy hippo born at Thailand's Khao Kheow Open Zoo in July 2024 who bounced her way to global internet superstardom: the memes, the SNL sketch, the election pick, the backlash, and her first birthday.
Oliver TreeOliver Tree Nickell (1993–2026): the Santa Cruz kid who turned a competitive-scooter career and a bowl cut into one of the internet age’s strangest pop careers, four albums, the Turbo persona, a Guinness-record giant scooter, a running "I quit music" bit, and a wall of absurdist meme-marketing. From "Alien Boy" to "Deep End", the stunts and the songs, ending with his death in the June 2026 Rio de Janeiro helicopter collision.
Kimye WeddingKim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding, from the stadium proposal on Kim's 33rd birthday and the Vogue cover that broke the internet, through the pre-wedding week at the Palace of Versailles, to the ceremony above Florence at the Forte di Belvedere on 24 May 2014. The most-covered celebrity wedding of its era.
CortisolHow a stress hormone became the internet’s favourite villain. In 2024–25, "cortisol" took over wellness TikTok, "cortisol face", "cortisol belly", endless "lower your cortisol" routines, the viral cortisol cocktail, the brands cashing in and the doctors debunking it all. The full trend, from origin to backlash.
John PorkA man's body, a pig's head, and a ringing phone. "John Pork" was an AI-generated Instagram character who, in early 2023, became one of the internet's strangest viral sensations through the "John Pork is calling" format, a fake incoming-call screen you were dared to answer. From there the meme grew a whole brainrot mythology: his on-screen "death," the "Free John Pork" mourning, the Tim Cheese / Simon Claw extended universe, and the endless 2025 revivals. This is the complete lore of the pig who calls.
Boneless Pizza"Yeah, let me get uhhh… a boneless pizza." From Sethical's "Baku" animation series came one of the internet's purest pieces of nonsense: a man calling a pizzeria to order a pizza without bones, and the worker losing his mind explaining that pizza never had bones. The bit exploded into SFM remakes, remixes, YouTube Poops, talkloids and reaction videos, and it rhymed with a real-world absurdity, the campaign to rename "boneless wings" that reached a city council and even the Ohio Supreme Court. This is the full lore of the boneless pizza.
LARPA single word, two worlds. "LARP" began as live-action role-play, grown adults in foam armour swinging boffer swords on a Saturday field, the wargaming and Dungeons-&-Dragons roots, Dagorhir and the SCA, Vampire: The Masquerade, Nordic larp and "bleed," the blockbuster destination larps. Then the internet took the word and flipped it: to "larp" is to pretend to be something you’re not, the fake operator, the crypto genius, the trad cosplayer. And in its final form, larping became the joke itself: a whole generation mocking flex, hustle, "old money" and sigma-grindset culture by overdoing it so hard the flex collapses into satire.
Famous Internet AnimalsThe pantheon of viral animal celebrities, from Keyboard Cat and Grumpy Cat to Doge, Harambe and Moo Deng. The cats, the dogs, the wildlife icons, the animal influencers, and the ones we lost.
