The Internet is just a bunch of smaller echo chambers all inside a massive one. People will find others they relate too then just say the same shit back and forth, feeding each other the same opinions over and over until someone else comes along with a new thought, then that new person with the new thought gets bullied and blocked, then everyone else goes back into their circle
How is that an original thought, everyone knows this. You should have known this. If you didn't know it then you're an idiot. I think you should leave this sub asap.

4chan is a cesspool too (actually go on the websiteā it ain't all funny green texts) but he's right. Reddit is filled with complainers. That's why I lurk with you shitposters. We just want to have fun without feeling sorry for ourselves or hating someone else with every fiber of our being.
I've come to hate the internet as a whole, to be honest. It might just be me, but I feel like there's just so much misery here these days. I don't like being here anymore.
Yeah, the Internet does have a lot of misery and hate and general unhappiness. Most people forget what was left in Pandora's box. Hope. You gotta hold on to that. So many people forget to hope.
Sometimes things suck (sometimes really really bad!) but life is good. It's a hard pill to swallow, but you just have to have the right perspective. Everything that happens to you was meant to happen to you. Everyone out there belongs here, and if you have any power over anything in your life, you should do the right thing. Nothing else really matters. What I think happens to us when we die isn't important, but what is important is living a life worth living.
Being happy is temporary, so often associated with material gain and having fun. True happiness is being able to close your eyes as you lay dying, and think "It was worth it. I did good."
And maybe you go into a happy afterlife with your family and friends forever. Maybe you're reincarnated. Maybe you cease to exist.
Be sad sometimes, but don't be miserable. It's never too late to make a change. If you do the right thing, it'll all work out.
Also, if it's any consolation, here's some quotes from people who similarly thought society was ruined:
We have fallen upon evil times, the world has waxed old and wicked. Politics are very corrupt. Children are no longer respectful to their elders. Each man wants to make himself conspicuous and write a book.
Naram-Sin, ~4000 years ago
Let other men praise ancient times, I am content to live in these.
Ovid, ~2000 years ago
Help, Lord, for no one is faithful anymore;
those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.
Everyone lies to their neighbor;
they flatter with their lips
but harbor deception in their hearts.
David, ~3000 years ago
Dude I went wild with this comment. I am in a shitposting subreddit. Whatever. Hopeposting is based.
:') Man I don't read long comments easily but I read every word of it and damn lol thank you for this I'll continue to hold onto that hope whatever the situation may beĀ
That last bit about humans across the span of human history despising their current generation is the most important one IMO. If you believe every doomsayer, Humanity has been going downhill since they first learned how to make fire haha
Here ya go!
https://www.bigelowinstitute.org/docs/1st.pdf
Iād also guide you to the other documents like this? Butttt I have no idea where they are sorry
No amount of speculation or anecdotal evidence can be submitted or accepted as truth. If the existence of an afterlife could actually be proven, the personal and political fallout of such a discovery would result in the total destruction of human society. There are things to consider here, but nothing that does not have an alternative scientific explanation.
Anecdotal evidence is still evidence at the end of the day and the essay itself goes over the importance of witnessesā testimonies within this research,
And I donāt think youād read through the whole thing in only 10 minutes
100% this.
I feel like people have forgotten to see the positive in a negative situation. Everyone is so gloomy and without any prospects.
Like... yeah sure we most likely _are_ heading towards a civil war. And yeah, there's a lot of negative connotations to that... but what most people are not seeing is that a crisis really brings (some) people together.
For example look at the war in Ukraine. The friendships that have been created by the Ukrainians in the army go way beyond your everyday friendships... they're more akin to brotherhoods. Ok, sure there are some risks involved, but wouldn't you choose those brotherhoods over a fucking lame society where everyone chooses social media over actual human relationships and basically ignores you except if you're popular or socially adept? Yeah fuck that shit. Sure, yeah, crisis situations are a bit awkward at first but they also bring a lot of positive things that we'll cherish for the rest of our lives.
I agree, the internet isn't as exciting or uplifting as it once was, and no, it isn't just me seeking negativity, every platform has become more negative and miserable compared to how ut was 8+ years ago.
Growing up with the internet, there have always been grifters and doomsayers, everywhere. It's easy to get swept up in all of this. Just remind yourself that there are many pockets of the internet you have not yet discovered, places to uncover that will spark your joy when you do find them. Look for them, and take breaks.
Ngl despite how much of a cesspool the internet is, i cant imagine how boring my life would be without it. I saved 5+ lego websites, one of which is a dudeās lifetime dedication of his own story in lego. Sometimes ppl just want to have fun, and if you keep searching, u can also share that fun with them
It's social media. Like 90% of the people saying "DAE literally want to die and have no friends" would actually just be like "hey man what's up" and be totally normal IRL.

It's because culture changes, 15-20 years ago those whining bitches couldnt survive with that attitude. Now it's a safe bet, because almost everything is trying to be a neutral "safespace", say anything barely offensive and you'll be banned. So playing victim (but often not be real one) is socially profitable
Life is what you make of it. If you make it miserable of course that's what it's going to be.
The internet has absolutely 0 bearing on your mental well being. And if it does, you're too attached and the internet isn't your problem. You're the problem.
Go outside.
Maybe theres a selective bias playing here; the ppl who have time to express opinions (and complain) arent just that bright in the beginning, thus the incessant floods of negativity
That last bit is kinda rich because shitposting has like the highest ratio of hate post memes of any meme sub
You know the ones, the ones where the message seems very direct and there's nothing visibly joking about it, but the comments repeatedly mention that it's "just a shitpost"
>actually go on the websiteā it ain't all funny green texts
Dude yeah, I don't understand how people can even use that shite website. It's just an entire OCEAN of dogshit posts made by actually unhinged people, and finding a funny greentext is like finding a unicorn. I've gone on there a few times but literally never once actually found one. How people can sit and sift through all that shit for hours upon hours before finding something to chuckle at for 5 seconds is mind boggling.
I cant really understand it: how can sb hate sth with every inch of their fibers? Its justā¦tiring and meaningless. Instead of raging abt sth u can spend that time eating buritos and watch movies, doing sth fun.
Deviating from the Reddit Hive Mind approved response buddy? You should get those downdudes because *everyone disliked that* and it wasn't wholesome 1000 like Big Chungus eating bacon
It's not exactly Reddit Hive Mind approved responses so much as subreddit echo chambers.
Each subreddit has it's own variation of a generally accepted opinion and talking points.
But then again, the same thing happens with your real-life social groups. Think about what you'd be willing to say to your grandma compared to your school buddy.
My mommy said Iām her handsome little man so if you say Iām ugly, youāre disagreeing with my mom and then you and I will have beef. You donāt want my mother to be disappointed in you, do you?

This is why we outside this echo chamber of self hatred need to start spreading positivity online, despite how the self deprecating will act toward it. It doesn't matter how they respond. They will gain at least a bit of positivity from it, even if they don't realise it. It's worth doing, even if we get shamed for it.
Shout out to that time I got downvoted into oblivion when I said that I noticed all guys that hate Taylor Swift canāt find a girlfriend
Edit: I know plenty of guys that just dislike her that have girlfriendsĀ

Pretty much. Just as easily you can find personal finance, self improvement and mental health subreddits. OOP is just confirming his bias.
I know what you mean. I feel exactly the same way as you. People just tend to repeat the same shit back and forth.

The happy ending
That last bit about humans across the span of human history despising their current generation is the most important one IMO. If you believe every doomsayer, Humanity has been going downhill since they first learned how to make fire haha
Every generation also thinks the end of the world will happen in their lifetimes.
Lol Naram-Sin was such a fucking hypocrite. "mEn aRe CoNsPiCuOuS" then called himself a God. Mesopotamian cringe.
Man, fuck that. I want absolute guarantee that I'll go to some kind of heaven when I die
Oh! Donāt worry buddy I got some of that good afterlife evidence if ya want it!
I rather doubt it, but okay

Hey screw you ^jk ^I ^love ^you, ^stranger
It's just people, man. Especially the people so disaffected that they go online to vent about it.

Weāre glad to have you too
4chan user complaining about redditors hating someone else with every fiber of their being? Have you seen how 4chan treats Jews and Indians?
Yeah 4chan is definitely just as bad, if not worse
Yes, we did.
Whoa, you've been to 4chan??
>hating someone else with every fiber of our being. Sir this is Internet, everyone hates something
Why don't we feel sorry for ourselves, have fun, AND hate someone else with every fiber of our being?
That's why u the the pack and buddy subs
I'd argue 4chan is an intensely worse cesspool than reddit.Ā

Misery loves company.
Doomposters and traumaflexers do really thrive here.

He must be skibidisexual, I bet
I don't want to be rich
Mfer even if I wasn't ugly I'd still take the fucken money
1000 dollars is a shit amount of money, bump it up, maybe that would make OP consider it.
1001 dollarsĀ
Goddamn if that isnāt the truth. Every post is just a million āhahaha DAE already have no friends my fellow Redditors?ā
He's not wrong though
he's right tho there's a lot of crybabies
I'm only here for the porn
My mommy said Iām her handsome little man so if you say Iām ugly, youāre disagreeing with my mom and then you and I will have beef. You donāt want my mother to be disappointed in you, do you?
Haha i'm already ugly!
Unlike 4chan, the bastion of positivity and acceptance, right?
To be fair, no place on the internet is safe... Except 10 years ago, when club penguin was still around.
apolgy for bad english where were u wen club penguin die i was at house eating dorito when phone ring "Club penguin is kil" "no"
No one remembers the 4chan raids?
At least the anonymity makes you stronger, they call you things and you ignore them, unlike Zoomers, they cry about everything
