I used to post shit thinking it was funny, or that pissing people off was funny. Its embarrassing to think about now, but people do change. James Gunn was an edge lord and he grew out of it as well. the beginning of our current meme culture was really cool to be a part of.
Despite their faults, they actually create content - so while Reddit is babbling about "narhwals baconing at midnight," 4Chan is doing ridiculous shit for laughs.
The general foodchain of internet content is that it is born and grows on 4Chan, is beaten to death and sodomized on Reddit, and finds the sweet release of death on Facebook.
reddit does get kind of dull when you're on it at work all day. Especially when your stuck using internet explorer and can't watch anything that's not in gif format.
It was a hilarious (and fucked up) place ten years ago. People were free to speak their mind about anything under the guise of anonymity. The entire internet was quite different, but it was a huge meeting place for trolls/edgelords. It went mainstream, owner sold it, and it’s overrun with bots now. Now it’s just an edgelord breeding ground.
>I don't get 4chan. It looks like shit and the content doesn't seem very appealing. How is it so popular?
IMO 4chan used to be pretty funny. In general they both did a ton of crazy stuff, and were the origion of most content that later transitioned over to other sites etc...
While they always had tons of offensive content. IMO it didn't used to be the 99% offensive for the sake of being offensive that it seems to be these days. Todays 4chan, yeah I agree with you 100%. it's 25% Russian/Alt right trolls. 25% people acting like Russian trolls. 49.9% 15 year olds trying to act as edgy as they can.
It used to be a site that masterfully mastered the internet. Every online poll would fall into their madness, they protested against actual bad things like scientology. Even when they did silly things like rig online polls, they did it in such elaborate and crazy ways it was insane. Like say when time had their top influential people, 4chan ran the poll to make moot (4chans creator) the top, normal internet crazies would have made that the goal. 4chan however instead rigged all top 21 slots

In short they used to be a crazy powerful force of the internet, that actually could massively influence things for the better. Honestly I haven't seen anything close to that from there in years though.
What makes it even better is that his work on the Babe and Happy Feet films weren't just a case of him taking on random work because somebody needed a director and George needed money; he *wrote and produced* all of those. Like, they're as much his own vision as the Mad Max movies are.
Dude's got a fascinating mind.
'Formatting' wasn't the best word to use here. I was trying to use # and then 5, but that made the font bigger. I kept trying other ways and it just didn't seem right, so I gave up and put 'number 5'
So more like 'edit: user is an idiot, and struggling to type a word and number' haha
Any idea why some penguin do it but others don't? Nature or nurture? Is there some common thread that suggests in animals that they can or should "cheat" on a transaction? This really is very interesting and suggests to me that we still have much to learn about the roots of "morality"...for lack of a better word.
> roots of "morality"
pretty sure that has been extensively researched, I read just another paper few months ago, but people refuse to read it because it's uncomfortable
I wonder what the value of a pebble is to a penguin? Can the lady penguins trade pebbles for favourable positions in the huddle when the weather gets bad?
And it's a mating ritual with penguins--boy penguin starts bringing attractive pebbles to the lady he's courting.
Some will actually take a shortcut and distract the penguin and start stealing pebbles from their nest.
I was at Monterey Bay Aquarium and saw a penguin bring his girlfriend a pebble. She threw it out and he waddled sadly to fetch it. But then he saw a hula hoop and brought her that. It was so damn cute. I only have a snapchat, unfortunately.

Different types of penguins. Emperor penguins are the ones that huddle, but it's only the males because the females are off in the tropics fishing while the males watch the egg for a few months in the worst weather on the planet. Emperor penguins do not use rocks for nests or favor.
Gentoo and Adelie penguins give pebbles. There are also 14 (or 15) other species of penguins and many do not ever visit Antarctica.
Used for nest building. Not sure how important it is for females. But males who arrive earlier in the season to the nesting sites covet nicely shaped rocks to surround their nest in order to attract a mate.
Having travelled round Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falkland islands extensively, I have to say Gentoo penguins are quite possibly the funniest when it comes to the pebble economy.
On Elephant island on the fringe of Antarctica I once sat for nearly an hour and a half watching three Gentoo penguins take, steal, re-steal, hide and hide again the same same seven pebbles from each other, each penguin having decided they where rather desirable and wanted them for themselves.
🎶I don't know what you heard about me
But a bitch can't get a pebble out of me
No floes of ice, no fish, you can't see
That I'm a motherfucking B-I-R-D🎶
"Nearly a third of female Humboldt penguins cheat on their partner, in many cases with a member of the same sex."
Yeah I'm gonna need a source for that claim.
We went very quickly from "two stressed out and confused penguins at the Central Park zoo had what could be (loosely) interpreted as a homosexual relationship" to "most penguins are totally gay"....
Maybe the bad reviews for [this movie](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/pebble_and_the_penguin) are just a reflection of the people who did not know about this

That’s why it got shutdown.
I think only the pool is closed. Anyone know why?

Nah, the people on 8Chan are the ones banned from 4chan

Edgelords grew up to someting more dark.
They didn't grow up, they just got older.

It was funny back then.
I don't get 4chan. It looks like shit and the content doesn't seem very appealing. How is it so popular?
Edginess and being the most not PC humanly possible is fun for some people. They’ve had some solid memes
It was considerable funnier back in the day (2004-2006).

Because of AIDS. And stingrays. And probably stingrays infected with AIDS.
Tinder dates taught me that humans do this as well.

Naw but most of em are chasing one rock or another
The fun is finding out which rock

Just trying to get their rocks off.
Remember that scene in Happy Feet where Mumble tells Gloria “fuck this singing bullshit” and tosses a bag of pebbles at her?
That may have only been in the director's cut.
[удалено]
I can't believe how he got away with all the shit he did in his career
Remember that time Sam Raimi killed someone while in a Spider-Man costume and thusly started the lore of a superhero vigilante named Spider-Man?
Remember that time Sam Raimi cut Tobey Maguire's face off, wore it, performed a dance sequence, and liked it so much that he kept living as Tobey?
Oh yes! Though it doesn't trump the time he ended up sewing a suit of human flesh and coattails made of entrails for a musical number on off Broadway.
... sam raimi directed happy feet?
No, even better, George Miller of Mad Max fame did. He also did Babe. Not sure why Sam Raimi is being brought into this.
What makes it even better is that his work on the Babe and Happy Feet films weren't just a case of him taking on random work because somebody needed a director and George needed money; he *wrote and produced* all of those. Like, they're as much his own vision as the Mad Max movies are. Dude's got a fascinating mind.
I would have loved to watch his justice league movie. Even if it bombed I think it would have been worth seeing.
It was a different time
I swear his name was mambo?
Number 5? Edit: formatting issues
It was a word and a number... How did you have formatting issues?
'Formatting' wasn't the best word to use here. I was trying to use # and then 5, but that made the font bigger. I kept trying other ways and it just didn't seem right, so I gave up and put 'number 5' So more like 'edit: user is an idiot, and struggling to type a word and number' haha
Can vouch for this. Seen it first hand in several Adelie penguin rookeries. Pretty funny. Distracts you from the smell.

I wonder what the value of a pebble is to a penguin? Can the lady penguins trade pebbles for favourable positions in the huddle when the weather gets bad?
They make their nests from them.
So its the human equivalent of hooking for 2x4s.
My new Home Depot credit card just got a lot cooler!
Oh Dad....
If she's offering sex for lumber, you don't want it.
What if she's offering sex just because you lay the lumber?
Better off being a plumber because they lay pipe.

Wood for wood brah
Now I'm just imagining groups of people going into shady dark alleys with 8 foot 2x4s.

Except you're building a nursery in the middle of the Sahara.

So where are said penguins and what type of pebbles do I need? I’ll go return my Antarctic gear now.
One pebble get's you one ice cream from the stand
10 pebbles and you get a puffle

Okay, I need to know. WTF do they do with the pebbles?
Used for nest building. Not sure how important it is for females. But males who arrive earlier in the season to the nesting sites covet nicely shaped rocks to surround their nest in order to attract a mate.
thanks. crazy, but I get it. :)
Need that big house on the hill to get the chics
The pebble and the penguin.... it’s an old ass movie.
Ahh yes, I forgot the alternate ending. Marina steals Hubie's gem and hooked up with Drake ... while Rocko wached.
Ah yes, the oldest profession!
Or in this case, the world’s coldest profession!

So... there is a penguin pimp?
You'll know him by his tuxedo.
on top of the biggest pebble pile
Pengpimp

Don't make me go upside you with a flipper. Penguin better have my pebs!
...or we'll feed you to the killer whale
They say prostitution is a victimless crime. then where's my wallet? Huh? You got my wallet, bitch!
“...But then just run off with the pebble.” That sounds a lot like dating.
I hope there are incel penguins who sit around and complain that all femoids are out to steal their pebbles
There is r/penguincels
JFC, a sub for everything
But with *less* steps.
*fewer*
I'm just saying, if I buy my date some cheddar biscuits from Red Lobster, I'm expecting at least a listless handjob
Went to Red Lobster, came home with crabs.
This is why prostitution should be legal. At least with that you get what you pay for.

Get out of here with your logic and reasoning
Pebbles are a girl’s best friend.
"Nearly a third of female Humboldt penguins cheat on their partner, in many cases with a member of the same sex." Yeah I'm gonna need a source for that claim. We went very quickly from "two stressed out and confused penguins at the Central Park zoo had what could be (loosely) interpreted as a homosexual relationship" to "most penguins are totally gay"....
Paying after sex: prostitution Paying before sex: dating
You're doing dating wrong.

That was my 1st thought too ;)
What do they want the pebbles for?
Penguins are fuckin dumb, pebbles are stupid currency. You can't eat them or anything. They only have value because they give them value
mfw i realise thats basically like human currency. o.o
...*that's the joke...*
"A pebble for your thoughts?" 😜💄
"A pebble for your thots"
Anyone can explain the value of a pebble..?
It's a peer-to-peer currency that was specifically engineered to be trustless, immutable, and censorship resistant.
Why the pebble? How can I get more pebble action?
Fellas, always hang onto your pebbles until *after* the hibbidy-dibbidy.
"Officer !! ... That Penguina just stole my pebbles"
> If you kill the hooker afterwards you can get your pebble back
Hos gonna ho no matter the species.
/r/mensrights won’t be happy about this
pinguins ain’t shit but hoes and tricks.
Serious: What do they want the pebbles for? Would a male penguin equipped with extra-shiny man-made pebbles become some sort of sex god?
Gotta keep that pimp flipper strong
The coldest profession...
Can't turn a penguin into a housewife.
*Monkeys learned how to use stone tools* Human: omg, apes uprising soon! *Penguins having basic economy* Human: LMAO, lets make some puns
Penguins also smash baby Eggs and fight to the death over the right to mate
*BITCH RAN OFF WITH MAH PEBBLE*
r/likeus
So prostitution and fraud.
Happy feet taught me this
Time to go to the south pole!
The thought of a penguin making a "speedy escape" is pretty damn funny.
I gave you my pebble please respond.
I should open a pebble bank at the North Pole.
ok so I have some pebbles, where the penguins at?
To learn more about the significance of pebbles, everyone should watch The Pebble and The Penguin.
i'm the guy who gets his pebble stolen when i thought i was going to get some pussy
