A Truth About The Internet.

[ElPatron]

Whatever you want, you can find it.

Be it plans for a full auto submachinegun, a nuclear bomb that has such a crude design it probably puts Little Boy to shame, or chloroform.

Or just lyrics for that Nirvana song that you have a hard time understanding.

University Professors are jealous that Wikipedia knows more than they do.

No, they are just mad because it takes the effort away.

"Do this work without Wikipedia"

Big boys go to wikipedia, go to the external links, and carry on from there.

It's more "to the point" than google and you can actually quote scientific work instead of putting up with Wikipedia's "weasel words"

 

[FernandoV]

No matter what fetish you may have, there is a type of porn for it.
You will always find SOMEONE who can agree with you, no matter how unpopular your opinion may seem.
You can convince anyone of anything as long as you use the "Loose Change" method of "documentary" film making.
There are truly terrible people out there and they look as normal as anyone.
If you dig deep enough into the internet you will find you are a truly terrible person with terrible thoughts in your head.
But most of all, I have learned that the internet is the most wonderful and disgusting invention humanity has ever conceived...

 

[Mannayz]

What have I learned from the grim truth of the internet?

We're all going to hell.

Very quickly.

In a handbasket.

Made of needles.

I'll see y'all there.

And it will be creepy and hilarious.

I've had profs say not to cite wikipedia itself but use the links on there instead.

The weird part of Youtube is where all the good videos are.

See for example:

Oh wow. I was gonna type something, but this. This is it.

there are more ninja's on the internet then Japaneses history (see above for example)

spelling and grammar are optional

'if it exists, there is porn of it' is both true and depressing at the same time

if your opinion differs from the groups, your wrong

the things that deserve praise the least will get it the most

 

[LetalisK]

If you need it, then:
5) If you click the first non-italicised link on Wikipedia, and repeat, you will reach philosophy

Tried it for about 5 minutes using "rabbits" and ended up getting stuck in a loop involving various bits of Wikipedia policy.

Edit: I'm assuming you meant from any article in Wikipedia.

 

[GigaHz]

9 times out of 10 Wikipedia is correct.

also, if you have a question, why are you asking human beings? Google it.

I ask questions to a human being because human communication is better than the sterile, lifeless and sometimes misleading solution you can get from Googling it. Especially if it's a bloated topic.

The last time a friend told me to google something, I did, and it took me two pages of searching to get to the definition that he was intending. It would have been far more practical if he took the extra 10 seconds to type out a short explanation of what he meant, as opposed to myself having to bounce back wrong answers and wait for replies.

Here's a truth about the internet: You can find a tutorial on Youtube on how to do just about anything. The problem is, only a small percentage of the tutors are well-informed and will likely give you inaccurate advice or amateur methods. If you want to learn how to do something professionally, buy books, take a course, or learn from a mentor. Don't chance it to the internet.

If you've seen, played, read, or consumed an obscure/obsolete form of media in your life, there's a good chance you can find it on the internet again... that is, if you don't run into the porn of it first. (Thanks rule 34.)

 

[GenericAmerican]

Rule 34 has absolutely no exceptions. None at all, whatsoever.

 

[him over there]

Well to quote ChipCheezum: "What I have learned from these people is that anything can be made sexual [...] You know what my fetish is? My fetish is for still photos of bored women. Nothing gets me going like a bored woman, you know like their eyes start to sort of glaze over..."

So yeah, that's pretty much it along with if you hit rock bottom it isn't the end, people somehow grab a shovel and dig themselves an even bigger hole.

 

[BarbaricGoose]

People enjoy sweeping generalizations.

Rule 34 has absolutely no exceptions. None at all, whatsoever.

Critical Miss. Don't ask how I know.

PS: I know 'cause I looked. No reason.

PPS: There was a reason.

 

[Tazzy da Devil]

That I am not the best at anything. Any time I thought I got good enough at anything to beat everyone I knew, someone on the internet would be better.

 

[lord.jeff]

That there is no argument to inane for people to argue it.

Rule 34 has absolutely no exceptions. None at all, whatsoever.

Pie charts

 

[That_Sneaky_Camper]

- Sturgeon's Law where 90% of everything is crap and the remaining 10% is great seems fairly constant.

- Greater Internet Fuckward Theory where people are asshole just because they can get away with it over the anonymity of the Internet.

- Rule 34, if it exists there is porn of it. No exceptions. This can be both a blessing and a curse depending on the subject matter.

- Godwin's Law, the longer a controversial topic goes on the more likely people will get emotional and will call someone a demeaning name like comparisons to Hitler.

 

[lacktheknack]

I learned that humanity is beyond all redemption

Thank you Escapist forums!

On this note, I've learned that people have no perspective.

Or tact.

Now, just apply a dirtier part of your imagination.

 

[octafish]

That a lot of people really don't know how to use apostrophes, and that the sum of human knowledge really is broad but shallow.

Oh and you are never the only one.
