    4chan is a sea of garbage.

    greentext communities are held up by the patient people trudging through shit, who post the rare pearl or two you rarely find there.

      a few times they jokingly banned porn on /b/ for 24 hours or so, and it was absolutely epic. the content was so good. old users coming back and having a laugh. just like the golden days of /b/

      they should do this again

        /b/ is just nasty now. Even the YLYL threads are just awful stuff scooped from the bottom of /pol/.

        There are few sometimes decent boards, especially if you can find decent reoccurring general threads with regulars in them.

        /tv/ should just be renamed Prometheus though. It’s incredible how much that one movie has broken that place.

      Here’s the fun thing about greentexts: you can in theory write them on any other platform.

      > gets politician called as evil stalinist by other
      > looks inside
      > the mildest form of social democracy imaginable
      

      Also other platforms, such as Lemmy are often better than 4chan.

        I thought 4chan was the kind of place where if you ever had sanity at any point in your life you are already at a disadvantage?

      Check out the regular occurring generals and threads that ask specifically for people’s stories. GreenTexts outside of that are shunned because they don’t want the board spammed by blogposting.

      A lot of the posts are shit unless you share the hobby. You will be sifting through so much shit to find something mildly entertaining. I would not recommend.

      4chan’s captchas are some of the hardest I’ve ever seen, it’s not enough that it’s hard to tell what the fuck it’s written but having to align the text beforehand is just evil.

    the internet : a slot machine for things that make you smile a bit.

    payout rate : 1 laugh per 100 minutes

        it’s on average. also, 100 minutes is not 1 hour, it’s 1 hour 40mins.

        Get extra rekt.

        PS : 100 mins is one metric hour, but we’re not on metric time

          “The next hour or so” both accounts for the variance and is more concise than saying “the next hour and forty minutes, give or take”

          But now I want metric time, that sounds nice actually.

            Not that nice, 10 is only divisible by 2 and 5 while 12 is divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6 and 60 is also divisible by 5, 10 and 12 so there are actually some good reasons to keep time the way it is.
