Really well meme'd my friend!
The Department of Based (DoB), also known as the Based Department, is a federal agency of the United States government responsible for national based policy,[1] including the cataloguing of based posts. Under the Public Based Act, it is a strictly a descriptivist authority rather than a prescriptivist one, in that it describes what is based instead of deciding what is based.[2] Contrary to popular belief, the Based Department is also tasked with cataloguing cringe posts.[citation needed]
Controversies[edit | edit source]
During the years 2020 and 2021, the word "based" itself increasingly began to be seen as cringe due to its rising popularity among Reddit and X users, in a trend that also gave rise to proposed replacements, such as keyed. Throughout 2021, calls mounted for the Based Department to find "based" cringe, but the organization has so far been unwilling to do this as it would essentially amount to calling itself cringe.[3]
