I personally used it daily for years. There was more to the site than neo-nazi threads on /pol/. Anime, manga, kpop, and vtuber threads were some of the most popular and they were all highly moderated.
I enjoyed the lack of username/post history meaning no worshipping prolific posters or doxxing people by going through their history to find a post where they talked about their work.
No upvotes or ranking system meant good and bad posts weren’t labeled. You figured that out yourself without other people (or an algorithm) telling you how to feel about it.
Frequent thread deletion meant the site was constantly a snapshot in time. It’s like going to a bar. You’re not going to know the conversations people had in that bar yesterday. It might not even be the same crowd as yesterday. The vibe is created by the people there at that time and it’s constantly changing.
The site had barely changed how it functioned in 20 years. It was honestly one of the last bastions of the old internet before everything became about “engagement” metrics.

Most retirement accounts are in mutual funds, index funds, bonds, and other “safe” investments. It’s difficult for an average person to lose their shirt in stocks because of regulations and laws, which also means large stock increases don’t affect average people much either.

Kikuri Hiroi from Bocchi the Rock. It’s an anime about a shy high school girl who learned to play guitar because she thought it would help her make friends but now she’s just shy and really good at guitar. It’s a wholesome anime and Bocchi is just like me fr fr. Kikuri is an older base player from another band that encourages Bocchi…and is almost always drunk.

Tate specifically moved to Romania because of how corrupt their police and judicial system is. He only got arrested for bragging about it to an international audience.

It feels like sucking a dick…from what I’ve heard, anyways.

The scale is off in the photo. Here’s a video of someone showing how they work and the “pills” aren’t pill sized.

Funny that the video saying large online social networks are ruining the fabric of our society ends with “Follow us on large online social media networks!” I guess they don’t think unplugging from large social media is all that important after all.

Back in my day, porn was found in a magazine someone ditched along a forest path and that’s how we liked it!

Obama ran around the White House in 10 minutes and 17 seconds. It was almost the fastest time of any president, but Bush did 9:11
- Comment on Future historian breaks down and interprets memes 1 year ago:
It’s funny to think that future people will have no idea what these jokes will mean, but we’ve translated 2000 year old Roman dick jokes. Future historians will just say the same of us as we do about the Romans. “They created amazing technology that shaped the world we live in today…and they were really horny.”
