  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

To be fair, I stopped visiting 4chan after seeing a gif of a German shepherd being hit in the face with a shovel, so...

Didn’t need to hear that. Fuck whoever did that.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah... Now who is going to take care of the German sheep??

/s abusing animals is cruel and horrible

i spent too much time on 4chan growing up; it's the most in depth and fascinating and insane glimpse into the human psyche we have available. you see someone post the worst evils imaginable then people replying to that post with better and more cutting humor than anything aired on TV

Yeah I was on there a lot in the mid 00s and stopped going on it after the scientology protests. The site basically created internet humor as we know it and I was enough of a loser at the time to be highly online. There was something very accepting about the site in a weird way, and I'm not the sort of person you'd expect would have been a b-slur.

Met a friend's partner recently and she said something funny in this oddly familiar way... the type of person I'd least suspect, but yup, a fellow mid 00s b-slur.

I accidentally clicked on a monkey rekt thread and it was just monkeys getting tortured. There was a funny gif of a monkey getting hit in the balls though.
