The internet

[Valnu]

Remember when the internet was a bustling, new, and exciting community to dwell in? Original content was spewing all over the place, and comedy websites were still consistently funny. Nowadays everything under the sun has been discussed at least several hundred thousand times on the internet. Comedy websites are running out of original things to say. Everyone is running out of original things to say. Man... it's depressing.

I remember when this was all fields.

Nostalga is bittersweet.

[Wikkiwallana]

Do not say, "Why were the old days better than these?" For it is not wise to ask such questions.

Know where that's from? Ecclesiastes. A book written in the 3rd or 4th century BCE. People have been bitching that things have been going down hill compared to the past since the invention of bitching. Everything is, amazingly, still around, and we haven't run out of new ideas yet, so seriously, just get over it and stop acting like the future is bleak and empty.

Now lets discuss the world of the telegraph.

[Chaos Crescent]

..is for porn.

Anyways don't remember when I used dove into the internet/web/net and originality doesn't exist anymore least to me.

[The Corparation]

I think the fact we always look back on the past as better, is in the past we were little and didn't realize the world was shitty place at the time. We're too nostalgic to remember our childhood as occurring in a shitty world.

Now lets discuss the world of the telegraph.

That's something that pisses me of. You walk into anAmerican Telephone and Telegraph store and try to send a telegraph to Leningrad in the USSR, and they play dumb and say things like "We only sell cellphones here." What is this world coming too.

I've heard a rant like this before...

[Conserative Morality]

I think the internet has improved since I started frequenting it.

Actually in some ways this ^ Goverment cracking down on it has been bad. But you've seen good come out of it as well, plus better moderation on forums and message boards since the inception of the internet has reduced the sales of brain bleach.

I recall the eldritch, impossibly ancient days when the Great Old Ones were swapping unfathomable, horrifying stories about PokeGods and sex.com was streaming its unmentionable content to those primitive creatures that dwelt in the terrible yet majestic caverns of incomprehensible transcendence known only to those whom madness has tainted with its iridescent depravity. I also recall the animal hunger that drives a man to taste the deeper mysteries of primal Internet—

Kinda depressing for those selling it though. Those who manufacture and sell brain bleach have to make living somehow.

[Unilisia]

I remember the days before 4chan, before NS, and before any social networking sites. Now the internet is filled up with distractions from the bad stuff the internet also hosts

DO NOT MISS.

Well, I kind of miss the sound because that was basically the 90's soundtrack. Smells Like Teen Spirit, Black Hole Sun, Cannonball and that.

But other than that: DO NOT MISS.

The future is bleak and empty. What people forget is that the past was pretty bleak and empty too. Everything sucks just as much as everything else.

I remember when this was all magma >_>

[Galloism]

You know, nostalgia just isn't what it used to be.

[The Grand Network]

BACK IN MY DAY, WE DIDN'T HAVE WHAT YOU CRAZY KIDS CALL THE 'ROCK AND ROLL.' WE HAD JAZZ AND GOD DAMNIT WE SWUNG TO IT TILL IT HURT, THEN WE SWUNG SOME MORE. YOUR CRAZY 'TELEGRAPHS' AND YOUR 'ELECTRICITY' RUINED EVERYTHING!

I remember when this was all just a bunch of left over debris after the sun was born slowly gravitating together.

/Nihilism

It isn't nihilism. The nihilist says there are no values. I say that there are, but no one and nothing ever lives up to them.
It is a positive way to look at things. We are all failures, and always have been, so things can't get any worse. They won't get any better, either, but at least we've got a steady strain of hideous disappointment to look forward to.

I was there when Chuck Norris was created.

Without it we wouldn't be here.

Chuck Norris wasn't created he was just there.

[Galloism]

I was there when Chuck Norris was created.

Chuck Norris wasn't created he was just there.

That's what he would have you think.

I know the truth.

See, secretly, I am Chuck Norris's father.

Sort of... in a cosmic sense, anyway.
