Explaining the culture of Sup Forums

I'm two days into an amphetamine and psychedelic bender and I'm having something of a moment of clarity, so I need to rant for a minute.

I'm trying to figure out a way to describe the culture of Sup Forums, and Sup Forums as a whole, to someone who has never heard of it. So far the best I can come up with is:

It's people posting dumb shit pretending to be retarded, then people respond and pretend to be retarded, but they're aware the original poster is just pretending to be retarded, and the original poster is aware that all of the people who respond are pretending to be retarded, but everyone still plays along even though they all know it's bullshit.

So you have a bunch of people all pretending to be retards knowing no one actually believes they're actually as retarded as their acting. And they do this for hours on end every day.

How far off am I?

Yeah not bad.

Read this entire thread

...

Thats reddit you're describing though,maybe you should go back to /r/_drugs

...

its true but probably more of an under-current in all our communications. Sup Forums is just super memey and superficial so it's more clear

On the one hand, plebbit doesn't work like that at all, which makes me want to tell you what a shitlord you are. On the other hand, you obviously have no clue how plebbit works, unlike most of the people who tell everyone to go back to plebbit, who are actually from r/the_donald themselves.

reddit pls go

Congratulations on your bender my friend. The culture here is really that this place is used as a coping mechanism.

>inb4 b-but my lyfe is p-purrfect. Thats not what i said

Sup Forums has a big IQ

not bad for a first try, kid, but we're already moving past that.

See you on the boards...

That's what some of it is, sometimes. Most of the rest is people being proud of their shit opinions

Pretty fucking gya, you sound like a faggot OP.

>>>/reddit/

I have weird ass fetish porn and hentai vids stashed on an external hardrive, and yet the fact that i browse Sup Forums is my dirty shame.

Its what I estimate it to be based on my interactions with people. Society in general is below 100 and I fail to "fit in" with the average person. The work force also obviously can't handle someone with my IQ level so I'm forced to live with my single mother. I could easily publish a Mathematical paper in Number Theory (specifically relating to the twin prime conjecture) but my mind just keeps going through random permutations of things I could accomplish and I never seen to get anywhere.

The downsides of a genius i suppose...

Stopped reading.

Kek, I remember this. I think it has potential.

Sup Forums post 2012=reddit facebook and twitter
rest of Sup Forums save for Sup Forums, Sup Forums, and Sup Forums = Sup Forums

>I'm two days into an amphetamine and psychedelic bender
i hate shit like this, no one cares and it adds nothing to your post. it sounds a subtle brag about drugslmao.

and no its not about pretending to be retarded, at least not most of the time. its playing along with sarcasm/irony with the added flavor of creating OC. OC is what separates Sup Forums from every other shit hole on the internet, its what has always separated us from every other shit hole on the internet. Baneposting is the perfect example. its literally just a 5 minute scene that takes place on a plane, has like 5 notable characters, and maybe 30 lines of dialogue total. yet its spawned hundreds to thousands of original images created by anons who gain absolutely nothing out of it other than some laughs. Sup Forums's culture is, always has been, and always will be about taking something dumb and ordinary and turning it into something original through sheer creativity and desire to laugh

>It's people posting dumb shit pretending to be retarded, then people respond and pretend to be retarded, but they're aware the original poster is just pretending to be retarded, and the original poster is aware that all of the people who respond are pretending to be retarded, but everyone still plays along even though they all know it's bullshit.

"No!"

what you described was classic, "ironic" Sup Forums. trollface Sup Forums. we are way past that, we are in a post-ironic scenario. hell we might even be in a post post-irony stage.

we all state our real beliefs, but the form is what makes it tricky. sometimes its an honest opinion disguised as trolling. other times its 99% honest opinion with a bait punchline, used as a lure for replies.

your drugs are shit and didnt give you a single inch of insight about anything. go away now.

Very good

Its not so much pretending to be retarded but more trying to make the most obscene opinions or spicy OC in the hopes that people give them replies. I never try to act retarded but i certainly am most of the time when shitposting here.

more like retards pretending to not be retarded by pretending they are retarded

Sup Forums is people pretending too be retarded

reddit is people pretending too be intelligent

Gl with your project homie, take it easy on the speed though - benders on that shit is no bueno for your brain. Just looking out for an user, not trying be be a wet blanket. Be good to yourself and stay safe.

Underrated toast :^}

ironic thread

Huh.
You guys don't understand anything. This place was created to keep retarded souls away from the real world.
Here we live in a beautiful loop.

Youre not having a moment of clarity, this is the standard, common understanding of Sup Forums.

...

I like when u try to b8 me.

it might be the drunk and/or the high but this is sounding real unnervingly accurate right now my gentlefriend

Accurate

t. oldfag from Sup Forums from 2001

You just sound like every other stoner dude

This and only this.
Anybody that disagrees is a newfag
