This is the first layer in the internet onion.

This website, the-life-and-death-of-an-internet-onion.com, will live from August 11th through September 14th, 2021 — about 5 weeks total, the average lifespan of a non-refrigerated onion.

From the About (which is not linkable):

The “internet onion” is a perennial website anthology about the possibility of love online.

It’s now in its second season. Launching late each summer, THE LIFE AND DEATH OF AN INTERNET ONION is readable for 5 weeks — a typical shelf life of a non-refrigerated onion. As its title suggests, it will live and then start to decay, resulting in a mostly dead onion by the end of summer. It will return annually.

"What this then seems to suggest is that there could be different “dialects” of these love languages that get translated through the internet. One instance of a love language dialect is the process of sending memes, tagging people in posts, and other sorts of similarly specific digital interactions. Liking “Wholesome Birb Memes” and tagging a loved one in a post such as this is an avenue of affection that we don’t completely understand yet." (From the eighth layer in the internet onion.)
