Inside the ‘black pill,’ the web’s worst ideology Black-pillers see the world as a hopeless, meaningless struggle, and themselves as trapped in a terrible, unescapable condition.
If you waste a lot of time cruising the dark corners of the interwebs and the “Manosphere,” you’re probably familiar with the concept of the red pill and the blue pill. The concept, taken from The Matrix, offers men two directions. The blue pill is one of illusion and positivity, while the red pill is an awakening to the true, naked realities of the world. Put this dichotomy in the world of online Pick Up Artists of the “Manosphere,” those that swallow the Red Pill will become “aware” of the true nature of the relationship between men and women. They see these relationships as purely transactional with the men as the gatekeepers…

YouTube is full of toilet-themed Spiderman and Elsa videos Designed for children.
The popular YouTube group H3H3 productions (btw here’s a YouTube video downloader) did a real Walter Cronkite-level expose the other day on the phenomena of creepy YouTube toy channels. The report exposes a motherlode of bizarre and sexually suggestive, toilet-themed videos of grown adults dressed up as superheroes and Disney characters. Toy videos on Youtube are massive popular among young children, and despite their sexually charged, scatological content, these videos seem to be marketed to — and targeted at — young kids. The videos, many with more than 1 million views and some with as many as 30 million, appear to originate from shady entrepreneurs in the former Soviet block and Asia. They use search key words…

The joker brokers: a tale so stupid it can’t be a lie We all have financially retarded relatives, but this story from a /biz/ thread takes the fucking cake.
We all have financially retarded relatives, but this story from a /biz/ thread takes the fucking cake. It started simple enough with this post from MYNFWavb: You guys have genius parents compared to my father. Can’t get into details ATM, but basically he’s been working a job that makes absolutely no sense for over 7 years without making any money whatsoever, and he still 100% believes it’s going to make him a billionaire in less than a week. Every week. I’d really like to see someone beat this. He continued: I’m dead serious. He and an astonishingly large number of people sit all day on Skype playing pretend broker, where…

How one man lied about a cartoon to prove history is meaningless on the internet Everyone just believed. People started fondly remembering, and reviewing, episodes that don't exist.
Of all the great and terrible things about the internet, its ability to shape and rewrite reality might be the most dystopian. History is written by the victors, and every day it looks like the losers are humanity and meaning. In the Metal Gear Solid series, a collection of sinister artificial intelligences manipulate bulk information online to keep the world firmly under their control. A decade ago, I wrote some fan fiction that continues to distort the truth about a knock-off Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. Everything you think you know about Street Sharks is a lie. Well, that depends on what you think you know about Street Sharks. Before…

The 10 best ways technology can give you an orgasm In the 21st century, you don’t need to be in the same room as somebody to have sex. Hell, you don’t even need to be in the same state.
The electronic world around us has changed how we do just about everything. It’s changed how we eat, how we sleep and yes, how we have sex. No longer is making love just two naked bodies rubbing together until fluids are spilled. The rules of the game are different. In the 21st century, you don’t need to be in the same room as somebody to have sex. Hell, you don’t even need to be in the same state. The playing field has been blasted wide open.

TSA’s Instagram account is truly terrifying 29 scary/weird/wtf items intercepted by the TSA, including eels, taser lipstick, and too many loaded guns.
The Transportation Security Administration, or TSA, is best known for nearly getting to second base with most us, common and unsuspecting travelers. You’ve got to take your shoes off, your jacket, your belt, and when you’re hoping you’ll make your way through the metal detector without setting the alarm, it’s already too late, you’re chosen for a “special treatment.” The sometimes heavy pat down can feel awkward and unnecessary. But hey, it’s all for our security, right? Did you know that the TSA finds, on a weekly basis, 40 to 60 loaded guns packed in carry-on bags? LOADED GUNS! In CARRY-ON BAGS! And lots of other suspicious items are featured…

How I survived a year of SHTF in 90s Bosnia No electricity, no food, no running water, no law. In a now legendary forum thread, a user named Selco tells preppers about his experiences and what he and his family did to stay alive.
In September of 2011, a user named selco joined the forums at SurvivalistBoards.com and posted “my shtf expirience-wartime,” a thread that would since become legendary in survivalist communities and beyond – in fact, you frequently see people reference it to this day in communities like 4chan and reddit. In it, Selco details his experience of living in a besieged Bosnian town of 50 to 60k people during the Bosnian War (1992-1995). The siege took away everything modern humans take for granted and tested with extreme brutality Selco’s and his community’s ability to survive. But what is so interesting about this war story is that it was told to a group…

5 reasons Santa Claus is clearly a villain When you take an investigative lens to his seemingly flawless image you find more than a few bone-chilling pieces of evidence to the contrary.
He goes by many names: Kris Kringle, Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas; but to most people in the world he is simply known as Santa Claus. In the eyes of the public, he is a generous soul who endeavors to bring joy to all the children in the world. A cultural icon the world over, Santa Claus has become synonymous with kindness, joy, and is considered to be the embodiment of Christmas spirit. But when you take an investigative lens to this seemingly flawless image of pure good you may find more than a few pieces of evidence to the contrary. The fact of the matter is that “jolly old Saint…

By Jah was this man high: Bob Marley’s bizarre legacy Followers of his religion are "physical immortalists" and their bible is a rambling psychedelic dog's breakfast titled the "Royal Parchment Scroll of Black Supremacy."
A while back, the Petraeus scandal – the replacement of Jersey Shore with Buckwild, both got me thinking about Bob Marley. Is popular culture becoming more accepting of people’s personal foibles, or less so? Marley inspires generation after generation with music promoting freedom and love. His abilities in melody, singing, rhythm, and songwriting were strong. His political message was unusually consistent, too. Watch this video on YouTube But his personal life, numerous children born days apart to different women (er, obviously), including Rita, his wife of ten years, and the way he acted like a bit of a religious cult leader, makes one wonder how the culture at large should interpret the man.…
