There was a period of like 2 years when I was a kid where chuck Norris jokes were all the rage on the playground and I made an iPhone app that listed them all.

Jokes like “Chuck Norris is able to slam a revolving door.”

Anyway, I “built” this stupid app when I was like 13, copy-pasted like 300 jokes in there and a random one would show every time you tapped the screen.

Chuck Norris’s estate blocked the app from going live. I wish I had printed that rejection out and framed it.

Death had to take Chuck Norris sleeping, for if he had been awake, there would have been a fight.

from his instagram for his last birthday ( https://www.instagram.com/p/DVtiSHbETbX/ )

  I don’t age. I level up.

  I’m 86 today! Nothing like some playful action on a sunny day to make you feel young. I’m grateful for another year, good health and the chance to keep doing what I love. Thank you all for being the best fans in the world. Your support through the years has meant more to me than you’ll ever know.

  God Bless,
  Chuck Norris

Jokes aside, this octogenarian was living his golden years enviably. He was summiting peaks last fall, doing 500 lb barbell curls, and still sparring in his birthday video just 10 days ago. We’ve all gotta go sometime, but the way Chuck Norris went out was the way I’d want to go—able to do it all right up until the end. He was a lot of folks’ childhood hero, but that title is freshly renewed in my eyes. I have new inspiration in my fitness endeavors going forward.

He was supposed to die last year, but death took a while to muster the courage to call him.

He finally defeated life

I can only assume Chuck has decided to relieve the grim reaper of his duties, leaving us all here to meet our own end not with a scythe but a roundhouse kick.

Chuck Norris once slapped Pi so hard it became rational for a moment.

RIP dude, we’d continue the jokes, may your soul laughs as hard as we do.

Chuck Norris once bet 42 is a prime. He won.

one of my favorite stack overflow questions: Why does HTML think “chucknorris” is a color?

Chuck Norris doesn't upvote on Hacker News. His presence alone sends posts to the front page. No more.

I'm sure he'll get better soon

17 years ago we launched the first "Chuck Norris Facts" app for Android (March 2009). It was a big success until end of 2010 when Chuck Norris sent his lawyers after us to get the app removed from the Android market. Chuck Norris won, we took the app down

I remember trade chat (/2) in wow on the Medivh server would often turn into Chuck Norris jokes. There were always about how bad ass Chuck was. How tough and impossibly manly.

One of my favorites.

Chuck Norris jumped into a lake. Chuck Norris didn't get wet. The lake got Chucked.

I fear the crime wave as the thugs hear about this and take the streets back. Be careful out there people.

From Reddit: "I heard that the opening 27 minutes of Saving Private Ryan were loosely based on a game of dodgeball played by Chuck Norris in 2nd grade." ;-)

Chuck Norris (and Michael Landon) were golden age role models for young men. Strong but thoughtful, firm but compassionate, and deeply principled but also practical. Yes, these were acting roles but they picked those roles for a reason. Rest in peace, Chuck.

Chuck Norris didn’t die, we simply phased out of his reality.

Chuck Norris didn't die. He simply moved to a parallel Earth that needed him.

It's a trick; he will come back unscathed in the next episode.

There's not a body inside Chuck Norris's casket, there's just a fist.

So I guess Chuck Norris has now keys for the Pearly Gates and is the one who gets to pick the heavenly club members. I'm sure roundhouse kicks are somehow part of the process.

Why do I feel like an era has ended...

Rest in peace.

Clickbait. He is not dead, he just decided to retire from the world of mortals.

The Grim Reaper wished that Chuck Norris had only come to play chess with him!

Chuck Norris dominated WoW Barrens chat back in the day. It was kind of weird and amazing at the same time.

Chuck Norris counted to infinity. Twice.

He was a hero in tech and science as well. I recall during my PhD studies, we always create new memes on our field that Chuck can finish things in no time. In loving memory of Chuck Norris.

I even remember the times he was not vintage yet, but the real thing. Maybe even watched his famous fight scene with Bruce Lee on the cheap cinemas back in the day. Good days. RIP .

The earth was too scared to have him on it anymore...

Chuck Norris doesn’t die.

What in the Hell could possibly take down Chuck Norris??? We are all DOOMED!!!

Chuck Norris let him win

Anyone remember barrens chat?

Oh wow, coincidentally I watched a Chuck Norris film recently with my (90 year old) grandmother, which resulted in me diving down a bunch of Chuck Norris memes for the first time in more than a decade.

RIP

Chuck Norris does not go to heaven, heaven comes to him.

My mother told me, "Chuck Norris passed today at 86" and my mind immediately went to, "I would never expect him to pass anyone on the sidewalk at any slower speed."

Chuck Norris doesn’t die. Death gets Chuck Norris.

Oh this guy is a legend. Did he do anything with tech peripherally? I hope we can put up a dark top for him as an exception.

An absolute class act of a human. Life well lived.

I grew up watching action films in the 80s and 90s. I always like Chuck Norris ones as they had a humour and ridiclousness about them

Films like Missing in Action ,or delta force where the motorbike fires a rocket were just great at the time

I get he had some funny views later in life - but the films were a laugh at the time

@dang, given Norris' contributions to Internet culture - the memes - shouldn't he be honored with the black mourning ribbon?

Wishing him speedy recovery! Legend

This just means we're in a simulated universe. He's respawned elsewhere.

Walker told me I have AIDS https://youtu.be/pQZX0nzvMag

He immediately asked the ferryman for a coin to get to the other side.

I remember having a "Chuck" plugin installed on our Jenkins back in mid 2010's. Gave me a Chuckle every time i forgot it was there.

Chuck Norris hasn’t died, he summoned the death. RIP.

Chuck Norris decided to take the final sleep on his own. Death tried years ago, but Chuck didn't feel like it.

Chuck Norris died? I didn't think that was possible...

https://www.thepinknews.com/2021/01/13/chuck-norris-homophob...

First Wade Boggs and now this. Just awful.

What a legend.

I enjoyed reading the comments here. RIP.

The only person that can train LLMs with his mind.

The Grim Reaper requested permissions from Chuck Norris to take his soul.

Chuck Norris didn't die -- Death just became Chuck Norris

My condolences, he was one of my favorite childhood actor :(

Honestly some of the most successful PR ever to paint a conservative religious bigoted homophobic freak as simply a meme of hyper-masculinity.

Death has Chucknorrised?

Chuck Norris didn't die, Death chucknorried.

Wouldn't be suprised, if he dies back and announces a film for next year.

He made it that far in life, that even if you might disagree with him on all and everything, you would still like him.

A part of internet dies with him. RIP.

Godspeed. ;~;7

The headline is incorrect. Chuck Norris didn't die, he transcended.

Also, the grim reaper hasn't yet gathered the courage to tell him.

He hasn’t died, he’s just moved on to an eternity of roundhouse kicking Satan.

"Every man has two deaths, when he is buried in the ground and the last time someone says his name. In some ways men can be immortal."

― Chuck Norris

Death becomes Chuck Norris.

RIP legend

He'll be missed. I basically grew up on his movies.

Chuck Norris doesn't die. He prepares himself for the next battle, with Jeff Dean.

he has become death.

He kicked it, but the consequences of his long-standing support of the march toward hatred and division linger on.

The section on his Wikipedia page is helpfully succinct if you want to understand the basis of my not joining in the japes and jokes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris#Political_views

I'm surprised Chuck Norris agreed to this.

Total Gym XLS has a 1-1.25" carriage bar for adding weight. 5gal bucket weights are the correct diameter to leave a gap between the weights and the floor.

Chuck Norris facts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris_facts

How did he die?

The headline is inaccurate. Chuck Norris is alive and kicking in another dimension.

Chuck Norris disagrees.

“We’d like to keep the circumstances private”

Yes, but now I’m like, super suspicious.

> Curbing violent crime is still more about what we do than it is about what government does. The answer is still more about nature’s law within us than it is about man’s law outside of us. — Chuck Norris, 2012

What a load of horseshit. Government is "what we do." It's not imposed by alien pod-persons.

And he opposed marriage equality. What a scumbag.

Chuck Norris promising the USA will have 1,000 years of darkness if Obama wins in 2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ae9b-B_EQ0

Very cool thread. Middle school jokes and culture wars. I’m so glad we don’t allow political threads on here and can instead bask in the intellectual might of people talking about TV man the did/didn’t like.
