OH! Get your hands on a bicycle.

If outside is doing it for you, this poo poo rules. I discovered how much I loving loved cycling in my mid-20s but it's so low-impact that it's a sport/practice I will keep doing until I croak. I can ride 50 miles and none of my joints hurt. Running destroys me.

Plus, you can get around. If you're in rural America and poor, this is a pretty good solution.

The problem with explaining what came from this site is that most of that poo poo happened late 90s, early 2000s and is now super duper loving outdated.

We could go into that and there is a whole thread about internet necromancy.

Basically the list above is a good reference for silly poo poo that spun off into their own brand of stupid poo poo (internet vocab word for stupid poo poo: memes).

the commissary had the same kind of stuff you would find at 7-11

lots of ramen and chips and a few sweets like chocolate bars. the brand of chips called 'the whole shabang' is pretty popular inside. they were originally made just for prisons but i think they are available outside now too.

i made pad thai with the ramen, peanut butter and hot sauce

The robot says these things started here, at least in part.


a robot posted:

Something Awful has been a breeding ground for internet culture and memes. Here are a few examples that originated from the Something Awful Forums:

1. **Let's Play** - The format of "Let's Play" (LP) videos, where players record themselves playing video games while providing commentary, originated from the Something Awful forums. This format has become immensely popular on platforms like YouTube and Twitch.

2. **Photoshop Phriday** - This weekly event, where forum users are given a topic and then create humorous Photoshopped images based on that topic, has influenced the development of meme culture.

3. **Slender Man** - The creepy folklore of Slender Man, a tall, faceless, suited figure, was born from a Something Awful Photoshop contest. This mythos took the internet by storm and even led to video games, movies, and some real-world incidents.

4. **Creepypasta** - The term "creepypasta," which refers to short horror stories circulated on the internet, was popularized on Something Awful. While it didn't originate from the site, many iconic creepypastas first gained popularity there.

5. **FYAD Culture** - The gently caress You And Die (FYAD) subforum had a unique style of irreverent and absurdist humor that has influenced many other parts of the internet.

6. **Goons** - The term "Goons" was used to refer to Something Awful forum users, and this term has been adopted by other online communities as well.

7. **GoonSwarm** - In the MMORPG EVE Online, the GoonSwarm alliance, largely consisting of Something Awful users, has had a significant impact on the game's politics and economy.

8. **SCP Foundation** - While not strictly originating from Something Awful, the SCP Foundation, a fictional organization documented by a web-based collaborative writing project, was first shared and popularized on the Something Awful forums.

It's worth noting that while these cultural artifacts originated from Something Awful, they have since taken on lives of their own and have been further shaped and developed by other internet communities.

chatGPT is an "AI" chat bot that you are going to hear about a lot. I think there is a thread about it here, and a thread about AI art generators that generate images based on text you provide.



quote:

Overall, ChatGPT is a sophisticated language model that aims to simulate human-like conversation and provide useful and informative responses to a wide range of queries and prompts.

People generally either really like or really hate AI stuff right now.

bascially a bunch of anime pedos got banned from this site in 2004, and would go on to create their own site (4chan) which would have catastrophic effects on the developing internet culture, leading to the rise of the reactionary 'alt-right' which would get Donald Trump elected (among other things). so in a nutshell because of this website we can all look forward to getting conscripted and dying in the water wars of 2030

welcome to the outside; one of my best friends is an ex-con. hope you can adjust! poo poo's nutty

definitely look into the trades, a solid network of people can't be a bad thing nowadays. if that sounds like a good idea and if you've never done any serious work with your hands/some tools, picking up a little DIY project around the house might be a good idea. we've actually got a whole subforum for like, crafts and trades and DIY poo poo and stuff. SA has all kinds of subforums for different niches and poo poo.

idk about starting up in a trade at your age (it's not my field) but what you lack in youth you probably make up for in not loving around. I taught a few ex-cons at my job and they're much nicer to work with than dipshit 19 year olds.

Also nobody brought this up so ill be the degenerate bit on the internet we have literally millions of hours of free and instantly accessible pornography.
