I have learned a lot of poo poo on these forums. Some of it is useless knowledge, some useful poo poo like vinyl and bike stuff, some of that newfangled kid speak (uhhh slang), hell even sex positions (shout out to the goon that explained spitroasting). I even learned some newer acronyms iirc! Some of the funniest stuff has been the history of the forums itself.


Post and include something that the forums have taught you specifically, and as I remember or learn new poo poo I will include more about random poo poo i've learned from these forums myself.

Comedy is welcome and especially encouraged!

somethingawful did in fact teach me about transexual people and image redirects when i was a lot younger, because lowtax used to have it so that if you image leeched, it would replace the image you were trying to leech with an image of a lady pointing her penis down at the camera

someone leeched it on another forum and was like 'check out this funny pic' without realising the redirect was in place

I learned a lot from LF when I was 18-19. I had left-wing inclinations but lacked the language and data to really support them, and LF provided that in between all the shitposting. Also E/N had a "goon virginity megathread" back in the day where the gooniest of goons sought dating and self-improvement advice. Thankfully, even in my most awkward teenage phase I wasn't as far gone as some of those guys, but it could occasionally give decent advice that wasn't the PUA poo poo you'd find elsewhere.

quote:

"Your theory that somethingawful is the centre of the internet, and that GBS is the forum which is its heart it has a very convincing ring to it, Mr. James, but it's wrong. I've got a better theory," said the little old lady.

"And what is that, madam?" inquired James politely.

"That we live on a subforum which is on the back of a giant gay."

Not wishing to demolish this absurd little theory by bringing to bear the masses of scientific evidence he had at his command, James decided to gently dissuade his opponent by making her see some of the inadequacies of her position.

"If your theory is correct, madam," he asked, "what does this gay stand on?"

"You're a very clever man, Mr. James, and that's a very good question," replied the little old lady, "but I have an answer to it. And it's this: The first gay stands on the back of a second, far larger, gay, who stands directly under him."

"But what does this second gay stand on?" persisted James patiently.

To this, the little old lady crowed triumphantly,

"It's no use, Mr. James—it's gays all the way down!"
