And wasn't there a time when some guy posted photos of his underage niece and her friend he was trying to gently caress or something, and the channers figured out what school it was based on seeing part of the logo on someone's shirt and then contacted local police?

So I work for a video channel and we aired some like old rear end movie from 1950-something and there was a scene with the Pledge of Allegiance in it. Apparently this scene offended one of the subscribers to our channel so much he emailed our customer support ranting and raving about how we "edited out 'One nation under God' from the movie." In reality, 'under God' wasn't added until several years after the movie was released. We explained it to the guy, and he basically said that the studio should add in 'under God' to follow the law. I couldn't fathom the level of idiocy it took to think that was something worth getting up in arms over.

4chan and SA are really not much different. /v/ is pretty much the same as our Games forum, lots of nerds arguing about console wars. /s4s/ and FYAD are both metaboards for shitposting.

A bunch of people here obviously hang out on /a/, too. And for the record, when it comes to anything Tumblr-related (even posting an image with a tumblr filename), they have the same kneejerk reaction you guys do when someone brings up 4chan.

I'm a biologist and despite loving physics I think I only grasp it from Cosmos and such. I get that the universe is ~13.7 billion years old, but how can something be 30 billion light years away if its impossible to go faster than light? Even if we are on the exact opposite side of the universe surely it could only be ~27 billion light years away? Is it due to the 'elastication' of the universe everyone is harping on about?

What's hilarious is whenever blatant goons post on 4chan, as happened during the forum downtime a couple of weeks ago. Then we all came right back here and bitched about how terrible anons are. :allears:

It is going to take something really, really atrocious to topple Reddit as the worst place on the internet. I mean, at least 4chan has put its dues in against posting illegal content, whereas Reddit mods had to be shamed and harassed into shutting down the pedophile subreddits numerous times.

If the light left that galaxy 10 billion years ago, then it was 10 billion light years away from us at the time the light left that galaxy. In the 10 billion years since that event, the point that the light originated from has been moving away from us.

We do have a anime subforum with some of the worst people out there you know.

Those reddit subpages are scummy and its a shame the main mods were such idiots for being reluctant to shut em down but the little ive read on reddit it's not too bad for instance the World Cup subreddit is decent, I hit up the Dark Souls 2 one, my own city is fine for local stuff.

Saying its ALL poo poo when SA has some terrible stuff as well is kinda weird. The internet is just a loving dumb place.

...why. I mean, just...why? I post on neither site but from what I know of them this feels like an internet culture literally declaring war on itself. More importantly, how, pray tell, do they intend on destroying 4chan? Drowning it in poor grammar? Pretty sure 4chan already has plenty of stupid and an infinite capacity for more.

It's a little more than just gross things on popular tags, it's also a weird 4chan prank to impersonate SJW types and get them to agree with stupid bullshit that sounds like something they'd like. Last I read they had been uncovered as trying to get a hashtag activism campaign going under #endfathersday. But the upshot has been that now tumblr SJWs fervently believe that not only is anyone that disagrees with them even slightly is cis scum, but also probably a 4chan infiltrator.

That person on Facebook got things a little wrong. The oldest galaxy we have confirmed is from light that left it 13.1 billion light years ago. The universe is about 13.7 billion years old.

quote:


By using data collected by the Hubble Space Telescope and observations from the Keck I telescope at the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, astronomers have now confirmed that the galaxy designated z8_GND_5296 formed within 700 million years after the beginning of the universe, making it the oldest and most distant galaxy ever verified.

Because the galaxy is so far from Earth, scientists were able to observe z8_GND_5296 as it would have appeared about 13.1 billion years ago.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/23/ancient-galaxy-farthest-oldest_n_4150659.html

But by taking into account movement since the light we are seeing now left that galaxy:

quote:

The light reaching Earth from z8_GND_5296 shows its position over 13 billion years ago, having traveled a distance of more than 13 billion light-years (13 gigalight-years). Due to the expansion of the universe, this position is now at about 30 gigalight-years (9.2 Gpc) (comoving distance) from Earth
