What Do You Honestly Know About 4Chan?

Sup fools,

I was at a diner earlier today eating waffles with some friends, when we noticed a fat kid eating a hoagie with a spoon.  The little kid was spooning it like one would eat pudding or something, and his mom was looking at her son.  She asked him if he liked mudkipz, and it got me and my friends thinking.  What do people honestly know about 4chan and the internet culture?

what i know is that though they're gross and disgustingly sick in the head, they're the most amazing Internet phenomenon yet.

It can be funny, until you see a gore thread.

4chan has a number in it.

I'm outta suggestions.

pretty much all of it is terrible

I mean I go to 420chan but 4chan really is terrible

 a circus

What I do want to now is. Why the hell do alot of peoples posts start with the seeing a fat kid doing something then it leading them to think of something nothing to do with the fat kid in the end?

Ive seen two or three this week, its great!

a mom just asked her kid eating a hoagie like pudding if he likes mudkipz? crazy story. really

I know enough to never go there.

I honestly don't know and don't really want to find out.

I couldn't care less about 4chan.

It's full of pedophiles.
No really.



No. Really.
It's also the source of pretty much everything unfunny or annoying about the internet.

Hentai.

That is all.

I have no idea, and I don't care to ever find out.

It's the trash of the internet so I usually try to stay away. 

It's a website. Where people talk about origami and firearms. Get over it, people.

Whenever somebody says something from 4chan out loud, it makes you cringe.
Also, reddit seems to be the new 4chan.

I know it's difficult to navigate and ugly as sin.

Well, my buddy found these coupons for free 24-packs of coke that you could print out and redeem (I don't know where they came from). Anyway, I had to dig through a load of kiddie-porn and dead bodies to find it.

Most of the stuff there I don't find funny, but there's a thread every once in a while that makes my random browsing worth it.

" I know enough to never go there. "

/b/ seems to fit all the stereotypes that people associate with 4chan. The rest of it isn't as bad, but it's just a pretty average forum/imageboard that is pretty meme crazy.

Although I wouldn't really know in much detail, since I never go there. I visited once or twice and never went back.

There are a few boards (ck and lit) that I visit once in a while. Mostly just lurk but I've posted on ck a couple of times after I made a nice din-din. Their video game board is a complete mess. 

Some of that stuff is really funny. Some of it is really gross. Some of it is really pathetic. There are many sick bastards, too. Some don't deserve to even exist. And yet it's a meme factory.

Also, I can't deny I have a begrudging respect for them after shit like finding Dusty's owner, Project Chanology, sending a shitload of cards to a random WW2 veteran because it's his birthday, or overriding that Pepsi contest so cash could go to cancer research.

I think it's pretty great to be honest. I never post there but i enjoy sizable part of what is going on there. Of course it's silly, and you can come across a gore pic here, and a bit of child porn there but some of things are some of the most hilarious things I've seen on the internet... but i understand that some people might not be huge on death jokes etc. All in all, i'm happy it exists.

Hard to classify really. Some good, some bad. 

" All I know is that it's a place for hostile agressives, unfunny ppl, sexual deviants and the mentally ill. Most hackers has autism, asperger syndrome which has a narrow focus, which means hacking and being socially retarded. Besides I know you go there kaos, that's why you are defending it so much. I never been there before. "

It deserves the reputation it has because it's full of pedophiles.
And anyone who's ever said, typed or even thought anything was ever "epic win" deserves to get crunched in the face.

Yes I said crunch.
And no I did not mean punch.

4 chan is the asshole version of 2 chan

I unno, I lurk their quite a bit, it is great for funny pictures and you know what threads to avoid you will be ok

i lurk 4chan for the lulz

You sure eat food at a diner with your friends a lot.

4chan is where the internet goes to die. I love a good /b/ lurk every now and again but it isn't a nice place to be. That is how I see it anyway.

I go to a few of the entertainment boards a few times a week (/mu/, /v/, /tv/). It's not really better or worse than anywhere else, to be honest. I know that I have laughed pretty hard at some things posted there and listened to music that I probably wouldn't have known about previously.

If you stay away from /b/, it's generally fine, with the occasional unsultry gore and porn posts.

How come most of your threads start with you and someone else eating?

I find 4chan to be a complete mess to browse. It ugly, so I stay away. Also I've heard all of the terrible things. I figure not everything needs to be thoroughly explored. *shrug*

I know a fair bit about 4chan's different boards, the memes they've invented and some of their history, and I've lurked there quite a few times. /b/ is by far the worst of it and it's a common misconception that all of 4chan is like /b/, I've seen some perfectly civil people on boards like /r/ or /tg/, but that's not to say that the anonymity of the site doesn't cause douchebaggery across pretty much all boards, and /b/ certainly deserve the reputation they've gotten. Now and then /b/ will produce something genuinely funny, but on the whole they prove themselves to be nasty people.

" Hentai.That is all. "

It's pretty boring outside of being an image dump and a place for live discussions, like during the World Cup and such.

If the conversations you're having with the people you hang out with have somehow got to the point where you have an abbreviation for  "child pornography", then things have gotten terribly out of hand, and you should stop talking to those people.

It was funny, but I guess I grew up.

There's some funny crap over there, but a lot of ponies, and penis.

My housemate lurks there as well, and occasionally sends me some pretty funny stuff, though we both share an understanding that the majority of what happens on that website completely pretty fucked up.

Too many memes, and I'm starting to think that you live in rural america because of the rate of fat kids you see.
