Everyone on the internet is suddenly obsessed with tin fish. Sardines. Anchovies. Baby eels. Luxury cans that cost more than a real dinner. This week, Daniel and Soren try to understand how canned fish became a personality, why British men in fezzes are eating fish spines on camera, and what it says about internet culture when the worst foods get rebranded as delicacies. Along the way: debate videos, reaction content, copied sketches, algorithmic brain rot, and the creeping feeling that the internet might need to be turned off for a few years. We will not be decanting the tin. ----
