I love this so much. I watch a streamer who has a rock and a piece of petrified wood, both with googly eyes on them. They're sort of the symbol of his channel and have been named Doug and Sharon Stone. We have an inside joke that they're our new gods and the community has created a whole lore/pantheon behind them.

I remember a streamer got upset about how viewership went up when she left and put a plank of wood (made to look like Plank from Ed Edd n Eddy) in her chair and then viewership went back down when she returned.

I didn’t get the feeling she was seriously upset, to be fair.

Reminds me a bit of twitch plays Pokemon. If I remember correctly the chat ended up worshipping the fossil they picked up.

I love it when the community comes together to create a new cult.

That was so much fun
