Hidden Internet

This is pulled from the Biggie Cheese wiki page. I'm not sure how exactly this lore was created but I find it extremely funny Biggie Cheese Biggie Chester Latorace Cheese (August 4th 1954 - September 17th 2019) was a Gangster Rapper and former U.S. Army Lieutenant made famous for his cameo in the 2006 film, Barnyard. Biggie is considered one of the best rappers to ever inhabit this blue marble that we call earth. He released over 50 songs throughout his musical career before his death in 2019 his most popular of which is a single that dropped in 1993 titled, Orphanage on Fire, which...

I just finished reading a book called 'Stolen Focus' by Johann Hari, about the various ways modern life makes it difficult for us to focus. Apart from social media manipulation, poor diet, and poor sleep, he identifies the way children have been raised since the 1990s as something that increases anxiety and erodes focus. Here are a few excerpts I found interesting: "A few years ago I was sitting drinking coffee at sunset in a small village at the edge of a forest in Cauca, in the south-west of Colombia. A few thousand people live here, growing the caffeinated drinks we glug globally to...

The user /u/Civil-Try-31-41 has made the same post on several sub-reddits over the past couple of days, including /r/OntarioUniversities, /r/WLU, /r/Paramedics, /r/UofT, /r/CarletonU, /r/LawSchool, /r/Algonguin_College, and /r/JordanPeterson. In each post, which are identical, the poster claims that as a result of their interest in the paramedic program at a Canadian college, they they have been plagued with hallucinations and mental illness. This includes what appears to be the coordinator of the program astral projecting into the poster's mind, using vague technologies that supposedly...

This article was written by sadgirl.online which details the way the internet has changed and a path to move forward from our hell. :RedWojak: The internet has changed... It's surprising how many people equate "the Internet" with "social media". It's like having access to 1,000,000x the Library of Alexandria every day, and only being interested in keeping up with what people are talking about in the lobby. The internet used to be: a place for creative expression vastly customizable a space for people, by people The internet has become: a marketplace (and we are the product) a...

Not my story, it comes from an /x/ thread but I wanted to share it on here. Included are the original posts from the OP and added photos to help with the immersion. Hello /x/. After a lot of thinking, and a couple of drinks - I have finally decided to share some of my experiences. English is not my native language, so forgive me if my grammar isn't perfect. >be me >late 1990's >work in a very rural area of Russia, as a sort of ranger/wildlife preservasionist >in Russia we don't have the same regulations and strict protocol as some of you might >we more or less just drive around on...

The following is an xpost. It has been reposted on other forums (a, b) with the original here. I have compiled the original post and the authors replies below. I am curious to hear Agorians thoughts on it. First, a few invites: @WKYK @Taleisin @Jackal @dorgon @CycFL @Sketch Relics @insomniac @InsufferableCynic @I-330 @wearyinternettraveler @Dr. MacGutsy @Regal @AnHero @UCD @7Pebbles @№56 @Another Name @Punp If you stand back and look at the shape of the world in the past twenty years, nothing really makes any sense at all. Killing nearly a million people in Iraq seems like...

I wanted to archive this retrospective here before the site is completely down. This was written by a user "carpathianflorist" from ruqqus a >redditcostanzayeahrightsmirk style clone. Hi there! It's me, carp, your favorite Ruqqus user! And I'm here to send Ruqqus on its way to the great 404 in the sky with a brief retrospective on the whole sordid affair. I personally arrived on these purple shores in June 2020, the day r/DeuxRAMA was banned. >redditcostanzayeahrightsmirk had also recently banned my sub r/SpiritualBankruptcy which almost immediately exploded in popularity, and I was pretty salty about that too. So with Deux gone...

This is a mix of my own writing and things I've read. I'll credit where appropriate. I'm a young guy, so I never actually lived pre-internet, and barely remember life pre-smartphone, but I think I've got a unique experience compared to some of my peers. This is because I went to boarding school for several years, and the boarding schools I've been to were generally low-tech. I used computers either for only an hour a day or not at all. No phones or any other tech, either. All I really had for entertainment was books. They let us watch TV too sometimes, but that was mostly dominated by the...

This is an article by Jef Raskin, who has worked in computing since the '60s and worked at Apple. He notes the high number of historical inaccuracies in various accounts of Apple's history, and muses on the cause of such mistakes. I think it's an interesting microcosm of greater flaws in the study of History. You can find it here: https://digibarn.com/friends/jef-raskin/writings/holes.html HOLES IN THE HISTORIES In Slaughterhouse 5, Vonnegut's protagonist, Pilgrim, is in a hospital ward adjacent to a writer discussing a book he's working on about the bombing of Dresden in World War II...

This is an article that was published in Esquire Magazine in 1984. It was written by William Broyles Jr. In it he muses on the fascination men have with making war. You can read it here: https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a28718/why-men-love-war/ Why Men Love War I last saw Hiers in a rice paddy in Vietnam. He was nineteen then--my wonderfully skilled and maddeningly insubordinate radio operator. For months we were seldom more than three feet apart. Then one day he went home, and fifteen years passed before we met by accident last winter at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in...

This is a communication I saw on the 'Letterbox' textboard, which I believe is a very cool perspective. Letterbox can be found at: https://afternoon.dynu.com/letterbox.html The thread was titled 'Moving On From the Culture War' and read as such: Here is something I tend to ponder on, and I wonder about your perspective on it: I think part of healing the Web after a decade of so of stagnation involves making a break from the current stagnant culture. I tend to tour the 'small web', (for lack of a better term; I hate it when people call it the 'small web or 'indie web', makes it sound...

This a thread dedicated to the strange world of skatworx/skat animation. This is also known commonly as "MSPaint animations". This type of animation dates back almost to the 80s (as far as I know) and got popular around the mid to late 2000s. Some notable skat animators are: *warning this list could be wrong* GHXYK2 GHXXXYK2 Bank Bank famicon2008 (an old group of skat animators now disbanded) Delta 4 (the team behind the game "The Town with No Name") Jim Wilson Cboyardee Swee Neezy Penneh2006 PilotRedSun Wainstop Enterprises (the new "famicon2008") BraxtonThePorcupine Nicholas Fedorov...

On March 18th, 2022, a >redditcostanzayeahrightsmirk user named "slava_ukraini_live" posted a video to r/volunteersForUkraine. The video showed a Ukrainian soldier playing a song to several dozen other soldiers Initially, the comments were very supportive One redditor said it was "like a Quinten Tarantino film playing out right in front of us" Amongst the circlejerking, one redditor expressed concern that posting the video publicly would leak their location. u/Nordansikt basically said that was bullshit After all, there's no way posting this video publicly would lead to Russia discovering their...

I can't remember where I copied this story from, but it's been kicking around in my various hard drives for a few years. It's good for a laugh every once in a while, so I thought I would post it for you guys. x-post from r/Morrowind. Little story by u/Nwahserasera found in the comment section of this thread.

I feel like Agoraroad is a place for internet refugees. A place we're found after having to wander across a digital desert because our previous homes have burned down. The Decameron is a famous work of Italian literature and its core premise is that a group of characters fleeing from the plague find shelter together and pass the time sharing their stories. And this has been my experience so far on Agora. The people here all seem to have different backgrounds and stories about the places on the net they used to hangout on. Stories about their fallen countries and hometowns now ruined by the...

<CROSSPHASE> A dim room drowning in Pixelated Ocean. Scrolling digital tapestry, a mere sliver of the vast virtual nebulae, glows in a personal void. A personal void mesmerizing into Public Void; commixing into a singular behemoth. Sixtyfour zettabytes (one zettabyte = one sextillion bytes) of neural mycelium digest its surroundings, absorbing the nutrients to branch further. A contact binary, infiltrating while infiltrated. You can blindly plant your roots into the internet while it burrows into your psyche VERSUS you can become aware of its impact and attempt to control it; how...

Rainfurrest 2015, a furry convention with a legacy for being one of the many awful ideas put into action by the furry community. A well-known event documented by the likes of the Internet Historian, it's a tale of drugs, betrayal, shit filled diapers, sexual assault, and multiple people needing serious medical attention. In this Hidden Internet article I will be going over the history, controversy, and downfall of Rainfurrest, and helping you understand why you should not allow furries to hold a convention anywhere near you. Prior to Rainfurrest 2015, there were nine previous that hadn't...

Hallucinatory Deaths on Tiktok image: dall-e 2 result for prompt "mirror incident, TikTok, hunter schaffner and holden goyette, shattered glass, thousands of tiny pieces, vaporwave 2023" so, there's a celebrity named Hunter Schafer. to avoid turning this thread into a political debate - and because it's not relevant to the topic anyway - I won't go into any further detail except to say that Schafer is very popular among zoomers. so it's kind of odd that when you type "hunter sch..." into google, 3 of the top results involve "hunter schaffner", which is either a very unlikely misspelling...

I have been going down that rabbithole for some time, i just didn't care before. I think i was wrong. First, Liam Vickers, he has a lot of creations. He has some issues around making cute but psycho characters and cringe dialogs. He compensates with the cringe by being self aware of it. He has a lot of animations small unfinished animations but Murder Drones is his biggest soo i will talk about it. It has fukken rowbats and they fight. It isn't finished yet but you can watch the first 3 episodes here. Second one is Vivziepop, she writes equally cringe dialogs but more vulgar. She...

Smith, The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is: A History, A Philosophy, A Warning (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2022). According to one theory, the internet is made of demons. Like most theories about the internet, this one is mostly circulated online. On Instagram, I saw a screenshot of a >redditcostanzayeahrightsmirk post, containing a screenshot of a 4chan post, containing a screenshot of Tweet, containing two images. On the left, the weird, loopy lines of a microprocessor. On the...

This was originally written by an Anon in 2016, attached are files of the original thread I don't normally comment on x, just lurk most of the time, but i saw this thread and figured why the fuck not I'll post. I had 3 different events, might have to post them separately, might not post all of them if i get tired of typing, i suck at green-text btw so I'll just type it out. The first event i had was when i was a kiddo, although i didn't realize it until i was older, but my parents and schoolteachers did. Before 9/11 i was always (ALWAYS) drawing cities, and would put the twin towers...

In August of 2012, the fine people at PepsiCo held an online contest to decide the name of their new apple flavoured Mountain Dew. They held it in high hopes of receiving mature and sensible answers that could help them sell a decent product to the public, but this is the internet we are talking about and it wasn't before long the last group of people PepsiCo would want to enter their contest found their new website: the /b/ board of 4chan Gushing Granny was first to take the lead but a fair chunk of the board thought that was not hard-hitting enough of a name and decided to take it a...

This post was not written by me but an anonymous user I was debating if I should post this story, but after a few weeks of nothing happening, I decided to say fuck it and post it. So first, some context. I work as a ranger in the Bargunzinsky state natural reservoir near the lake Baikal. Over the past years I've come to find out that lake Baikal is a very fucked place. So here's a few of my experiences I'll start off with a few oddities Aside from the usual ice rings, Baikal zen, vehicles/animals/people stuck in ice, there are oddities like unknown ships appearing on foggy days.

Christopher Aaron Morris was an 11 year old boy who lived at the Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, TX. on September 25, 2000, his father came home from work to find the naked, mutilated body of his son in the dishwasher. despite extensive investigations, the case has never been solved. the gruesome story inspired numerous r*ddit threads and podcast episodes. web searches for "christopher aaron morris" bring up various sites that host user-generated content: plebbit, facebook, blogspot, ancestry.com, findagrave. what is unusual is that there are seemingly no news articles or police...

I've doubted it but now I'm Nikpilled. "It's not that deep, y'all. For the 9 millionth...

Had a conversation with @SolidStateSurvivor and apparently there's nowhere to post your projects. Basically you can just shill out your stuff (preferably that your working on, otherwise it could go in the media category), and whatever. If anyone's looking for help on any of their stuff, I might be down, or you can ask around. If you need tips/tricks/ideas, hopefully somebody will give you some. post your: -websites -music -artwork (of any type) ALSO I WILL START A GRAFFITI THREAD IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED I'm out of types of projects lol so I'll leave it at that and you can figure out...

The damn monster is 13k words long, so I'll break it into a few parts. It's gonna be like a little series. A little trigger warning (yes, like on tumblr) here for those who have suffered with self-harm: there are explicit depictions of self-harm in this story. If you're sensitive to it, it may not be for you. I wrote this at age 12, date of creation says November 25, 2012. I probably abandoned it a month later in December. It's unfinished and will remain so since... well lmfao I'm not 12 anymore It may be quite a heavy story when you think about it, the amount of despair and pain is...

This impressive hate-fueled rant was written originally in 1992 by Jim Goad for the Answer Me! magazine. But it could pretty much be written today. -THE UNDERGROUND IS A LIE- You don't shock me. 1 shudder with boredom at everything you do, from tattooing your dick to chewing on your own poop. Not only have I seen all of your weak gestures before, I've seen them done better. You remind me of someone I knew in college. His name was Mark. Pale, unshaven, and wearing his dishwater-colored hair in a Mohawk, Mark was an anarchist. He railed against the corporate elite and cheered for the...

I got up, wiped my eyes and started walking around, taking in the sights. I wanted to hang myself, but again, I remembered what Sakuya had said. It talked me out of suicide, and even, maybe the Yamaxanadu would choose to reincarnate me. I was getting closer to Moriya sanctuary when the light started going down. I then made a U-turn. The night was getting closer and Remilia would be furious at me once again if I wasn't home before dark. I started running, just like I did when I was going to the Sanzu after arguing with Sakuya, faster and faster. When I got to the Misty Lake, I got tired...

I wrote this in 2012 (creation date says December 28, 2012), and I decided to translate this memeworthy bit to share with you agorans. I have a much longer one with a depressive Meiling but man, this one was fun to revisit. Feel free to use as a copypasta and mock in every way you want because it's fucking ridiculous. I was 13. At 13 you suck at writing to the point it's so bad it's good.

I've always been an advocate for gatekeeping, and many others on this server have shown to feel the same. On imageboards and forums the world over, there is a "Keep the normies out" sentiment. Protecting your subculture from the masses is a good thing, but you also need a steady trickle of new blood to keep from becoming stale. Gatekeeping then is not only the art of keeping people out, but also the art of allowing the right people in. I think that no place on the internet I've seen exemplifies this better than Minecraft's 2B2T. 2B2T is the oldest anarchy server on Minecraft. The premise...

Worrigals Good evening, my last post received way more views than expected, statistics showing around 1.4K people had clicked on the article alone, which I find to be absurd. It's clear to me there are a fair amount of users and lurkers who enjoy these posts so tonight I bring you another /x/ tale but this time from the land down under. All posts and photos included are those from the original author including the thumbnail, unlike my previous entry photo's excluding the thumbnail and a few other photos littered about with additional only added to give immersion and stop the article...

I worked a prison in a remote area in southern Iraq miles from umm qasr. At the time I was there it detained 30k prisoners and an additional 3k that no one except people working there knew about. They'd put us in blacked out window commercial buses and drive us an hour away for days at a time to guard the facilities. We were never allowed to speak with anyone on the main prison FOB and forbidden to tell anyone about it. We referred to it only as "Jurassic park,"one of the black prisons run by "contractor" medical personnel. The facility itself was a facade of mud/brick buildings...

There the nigerian email spam, the viagra pills spam, the torrent virus spam, and those annoying pop up spams.

(WARNING NOT SAFE FOR WORK) Contrary to popular belief, Cannibal Cafe is not a hidden .Onion Site. It was a clearnet site back in 1994 – 2001 run by a cult leader named Perro Loco. On the Cannibal Cafe's website, they have forums that were about men looking for men, men looking for women (the ideal: short, buxom, thin redheads) and women looking for men—very few posts, if any, were for women looking for women. There were people who wanted to be eaten and people who wanted to do the eating. There are stories, artwork, and users seeking advice on the best to way to cook someone. "I am...

This was originally posted on /x/, archived here for your reading pleasure. Enjoy. So this happened a while ago and has caused a series of strange events ever since. I have been hesitant of ever sharing what has happened because I wanted it to end and not allow it to hold any power over me, but after a recent event I feel it's time to purge this shit from me. I have been a long time lurker and never posted before so I will try and green text but forgive me if I fuck it up. First a little back story. >>Be 2004 studied wildlife conservation in jungle environments in Costa Rica, really...

Wife/daughter it is. I warn you now. This story does not have anything remotely resembling a happy ending. It is without any doubt one of the more depressing tales due to what this woman did to her only daughter. Get a call from the boss. He wants his best people at his office now for a job. Four of us are there and he runs down the situation for us. it's rare and urgent as it involves a minor. Rich guys wife has run off with a small fortune AND their only child. A daughter, age 13. Doesn't give a f**k about the money or the wife. Wants his daughter back. Boss wants us to get all 3 due...

By Anon All right gents, story time, because why not After high school I didn't really have a lot going on in my life. I was trying to save up for college, but didn't really know what to study. I was into electronics but not in a do-it-professionally-forever kinda way. I was working a pretty shitty minimum wage job at a hardware store and pretty much just played video games, drank way too much, slept, and occasionally tinkered with simple electronics, basic soldering. bread boards, etc, nothing too fancy. This was kind of in the earlier days of the internet (late nineties early...
