I'm quite sure the artist is winning that one. He's riling up so many people by just repeating a single phrase.
Like, anyone who thinks he's serious is really not yet fit for the Internet.
It's my favorite argumentative tactic. I've been in a months long debate with youtube losers about whether one of every Pokemon would beat 1,000,000,000 (one billion) lions
I am, because for all the effort people put into copying and pasting pokedex entries, I can simply reply with "but a billion lions is a lot of lions, it's too many lions" and get another dozen replies
Whatever floats your boat man, I guess I just don't get how being an internet troll brings joy
It's just funny seeing people work themselves up over someone thinking a wrong thing about a video game. It's not like I'm harassing people or anything
It's really hard to tell on the internet. I saw no indication it wasn't just a guy that wasn't sure and did no further research after being firmly told they are smooth, actually.
Lol, this Josh dude really thinks a week is Sunday-Sunday. So does that mean every Sunday is part of two different weeks?
Oh shit, more people join in. Does the dumb bodybuilder meme have a grain of truth?
Wow. That's Linus Torvalds levels of screaming, "ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?!"
People got really worked up back in 2008.
The Confidence that exudes from their incorrect statements gave me second hand embarrassment. Blaster's without Master
Years ago, on IMDb, a poster called rabbitmoon kept a thread going for years on the Rambo board that is still the best I've ever seen.
The whole thing started with him posting that he was shocked when, about a third of the way through the movie, there was a scene in which a character was shot with a bullet from a gun. Then he countered, completely earnestly and deadpan, every response he got.
The original thread is long gone, and the only thing I could find of it is an excerpt that was posted on Reddit - LINK
The sheer amount of people replying to the guy, completely oblivious to sarcasm.
It's a shame it's gone because it went on for much longer than what's in the reddit post.
Yeah - I used to check in on it from time to time, and there were always new responses, and new people trying to argue with him, and he'd just run them in circles with hilariously overly literal (mis)interpretations of whatever they said. It went on for years.
I'm pretty sure I remember the admin deleting part of it while it was still active, and eventually deleting it entirely. It's a shame - it should've been saved for posterity.
It gets better every time
During this film, there is a scene where for a few frames, a person is depicted as having been shot, by a bullet from a gun to the chest.
That was hilarious! I don't have an argument but reading through that reminded me of 2 older forum posts. A little off topic but here:
Haha, bloodninja was a legendary troll.
Invertebrates give me the ick, so I hope you don’t mind me not clicking that one lol.
If you enjoyed that video, many of the creators videos are hilarious.
I highly recommend the one about the highest scoring American football game of all time (it’s over 200).
If there's any invertebrate that should make people uncomfortable, it's fucking bobbit worms. They are nightmares given form
Just a worm that eats fish. I think they’re probably the most interesting creature in many saltwater aquariums.
If I was ever going to get into aquariums, I'd focus on the invertebrates. Maybe a bobbit worm and some brittle stars, and something paleagic but I'm not sure what yet.
Maybe shrimp of the group mysidacea? They swim a lot, don’t know if they’re easily available though. I think you can buy them as feeders.
Yeah, I was looking for a good candidate. A crustacean makes sense because I have worms and echinoderms already. Most of the exclusively swimming crustaceans are pretty little, though.
I wonder if there's some kind of small cephelopod that would be good. Otherwise, nudibranches, jellyfish or comb jellies. The bobbit worm might honestly need it's own tank if it has too much opportunity to catch things.
It's just a forum with text and a couple (ugly but SFW) pictures but I gotcha. The struggle the original poster went through was fascinating to me!
And yeah I spent like 30 minutes looking for the full set of bloodninjas texts but that was all I found that wasn't heavily edited...
This made me think of bash.org for the first time in a decade, lol. Tried to go there but timed out. Did find a link that had most of the bloodninja stuff I remember.
https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/The-Legend-of-Bloodninja/id/6934
The Bobbit Worm Chronicals in article form, complete with an interview.
I have to say, I totally would buy a 5 ft long bobbit worm in a pet store, even without an epic backstory.
Any argument from /r/BanVideoGames is fun lol. People don't realize it's satire and it becomes the funniest part of that subreddit 😂
That sounds promising. What are the odds it’s been taken over by “true believers”? That seems to be the fate of any long-running satire on Reddit. TheDonald, most infamously.
I think some people could think it's not satire but that's because there is a rule saying "we are not satire". Guess what? That rule is satire too
Because:
They pretend words like Karen or Boomer are slurs
They censor the words g#me, g#mer and videog#me
They say Hitler invented videogames in 1939
Most of their proof is photoshopped images (example)
Most of the users active in that sub are actually also active in gaming subreddits
They call their subreddit a "facebook group"
What website are you on lmao? Reddit is constantly mentioned, nearly every instance is majority Reddit refugees, there are Reddit repost bots on multiple instances.
Oh my god I was going to post the same thread, but I instead highly recommend the mega64 reenactment of the bodybuilding forum fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqylqmDl0Mw
The one and only Sadam vs Hitler thread
EDIT: wait, oh god, they deleted the actual thread. Tragedy I tell you!
This isn't exactly what you are looking for but it is really fun so I had to share: https://www.tor.com/2011/08/31/wikihistory/
I know it stretches the definition of Internet Argument, but this video never fails to make me laugh:
Yeah, but I thought he was drawing a parallel between Wizard of Oz and something else, i.e. Elsa is the wicked witch of the East. If it's older than Frozen, then it's probably not that!
They were playing a game of Hedbanz / Headbands / Celebrity , and one of them had The Good Witch Glinda from Wizard of Oz as their character, and they are arguing about them not guessing it based on the clues.
SHE CAME DOWN IN A BUBBLE DOG!!!!!!
Well, Hydrogen vs Boost obviously.

(I didn't 'read' it but it's funny)
I started reading your post 14 minutes ago and read 30 seconds every other minute then watched the video (but I didn’t count those minutes) and now I’ve grown chest hair. That was some good reppin
Years ago (early 2000s), Dilbert.com used to have a "Lazy Inventor" section of the website. "All Talk, No Funding." This was fine for a while, then someone suggested "child free days [at restaurants and stores]".
You would have thought he'd suggested clubbing baby seals. The shitstorm it generated was legendary. I'm pretty sure that was a direct contribution to them disabling that feature a few months later.
I found it in the Wayback machine! Unfortunately, it only grabbed the first few pages of comments, and the spice was only starting at that point.
A little context must go into this one. For three years now, Wix has owned DeviantArt, having acquired it from its original managers. Wix then redesigned DeviantArt to have a more modern functionality, referred to as DeviantArt Eclipse. A part of this functionality is that people on DeviantArt are (supposed to be) notified whenever someone posts a work similar to their own on any website across the internet, even on the dark web, as an originality-based precaution. As a side note, I wouldn't say DeviantArt is doing the best it has ever done, but I wouldn't call it bad, but "pessimist culture" would disagree, and there are those who say the feature I mention is irreputable.
One day, a certain someone signed up for Wix and started putting art on there instead of DeviantArt. It should be noted that you can be banned from DeviantArt but not Wix. It's not usual, but I myself demonstrate this, probably because my "ban" was circumstantial and therefore intentionally made only partial (for this reason, look up my Lemmy username on DeviantArt, I'm not forgotten), but I'm only a second person here as far as Wix is concerned. Someone deep into this "pessimist culture" (I don't know what else to call it) then noticed and made a complaint accusing me of bypassing DeviantArt's detectors using their own parent website and nobody doing anything, even "with the premium service package". I kind of laughed at this, it would be like saying you committed a bank robbery by asking to speak to the manager and then asking him nicely for all the money in the bank. You kind of have to question the ownership at that point. Needless to say the fishiest thing was the accusers.
Someone was aggressively following gay people on reddit and giving them "truth" that they will be going to hell. They happened to roll into a sub I moderate.
I proceeded to show them that the original verbiage of the book of leviticus was referring to land owning men raping non-land owning males (boys, slaves, etc) as was common with the Greeks with their classes. And then (iirc) it was Constantine that pressured the Bible edit towards homosexual encounters in general when he passed laws against it.
He deleted his account and messaged me a few days later from a burner saying that I ruined his life.
It's a recent one, but hasn't been posted, and has spread across the internet, so if you're not a Musk fan you can look elsewhere.
Who would win in a fight, Remy or Stuart Little.
A newbie bodybuilder can't understand how many days there are in a week:
