Originally posted by SBTlauien Forums are in a recession due to social media apps.
The problem with this is that it assumes the type of people who are using social media apps were the same kinds of people who would have even joined forums in the first place. I mean forums like this one; not "Honda owners" forums or sports team forums.
The primary cause for the demise of the "deep forums" is that the kinds of people who would join them are simply not being born anymore. The last fertility episode was a little bump in the late 80s/early 90s when most people here were born. Since then it just keeps dropping and the few people who are being born are born to idiots or immigrant parents. They grow up in their own little hives.
We are living in fertility oblivion. The useless, good for nothing middle and upper middle class whores in the first, and even the old second world are not having any children. That's why when you go outside, you seldom hear the sound of children anymore. The playgrounds are usually empty. The shopping malls are empty. There are abandoned suburbs all over America, and much of the countryside is "re-wilding". In some ways, these are positive developments that offer new opportunities for people who are willing to take advantage of them. However, we have to recognize that, first. It wasn't "Amazon" or "Instagram" that made it seem like the world was slipping away from us, as so many people on the web like to put it. Those missing people simply do not exist anymore, because selfish women aren't birthing the next generations.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-10-07 at 7:27 PM UTC in I think we take websites like this for grantedI recently visited a few forums I haven't posted on for years. Forums concerning obscure subjects most people don't know about. There was almost no activity to speak of; in fact one of the most recent threads was about how dead the place was. People pointed out that other forums concerning fringe hobbies, weird video games, etc were also dead.
Basically, a majority of forums are dying. And everyone on that forum was looking for an answer as to why. Most people blamed Twitter and Instagram, but this is just a cop-out. The real reason forums are dying is because the developed world countries are aging rapidly. For 50 years, fertility in the developed world has declined every 10 years, meaning each generation is smaller than the previous.
The fertility decline was particularly great among educated middle class-upper middle class females; the same women who are most likely to produce children who do things like posting on forums. Most of the people who created and participated these forums are late baby boomers-Gen X. These people eventually gdt consumed by the wage cuck lifestyle and stop doing things like running and posting on forums.
Remember Jeff Hunter? Everyone is exploring a conspiracy as to why he stopped running a web forum. An equally likely explanation is that he was a middle aged male who had to move on in life, for whatever reason. Could he have been hit particularly hard by the 2008-2009 financial crisis, --which affected his age cohort the hardest--, and which seemed to strike at the exact time when he shut the forum down?
Did Jeff Hunter even have any kids? Do you guys? Probably, the majority of us do not. Late 2000s Totse and Zoklet were the peak era for web forum activity. That was the period in history where the largest number of relevant-age people with similar interests and intelligence were converging on web forums for discussing things in any detail. In every web forum I encounter the quality of discussion peaks around the years 2004-2012.
The "first world" countries are being engulfed in the ruins of dead shopping plazas, abandoned suburbs, empty playgrounds and inactive web forums. All of this can be traced back to the low birth rate.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-10-03 at 11:36 PM UTC in Dying via nukeI can't stop thinking about getting killed by a nuclear weapon. I like to think about all the different ways to die via nuke. First I think about standing right next to a nuclear weapon right before it detonates. Technically the "explosion" occurs so quickly that I should be carbonized instantaneously by the tremendous heat. But I am going to feel something. I just can't imagine what the sensation would be like. Then I like to think about standing fifty feet from a nuke before it detonates. Then one hundred yards. Then five hundred yards. I like to think about how far I need to get away from the nuke so that I can experience its power. I want to see what it is like to be exposed to extreme heat. I like to think about what is going on inside of my body when I am exposed to the heat. I like to visualize myself in "MRI vision". I like to think of my brain being cooked in to steam and escaping through my eyelids in to the air. I like to think about the layers of tissue on my body being destroyed and seeing my blood get fried. I just can't help but wonder about the awesome power of nuclear weapons.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

2018-09-21 at 11:50 AM UTC in We have a moral obligation to stop eating meat
Originally posted by Zanick Taste is not a very good point upon which to mount a defense for the practice of murdering millions of helpless animals every year, but ease of access is a real concern. The first world can, in my belief, afford to move to a completely vegetarian diet. Economically, this would be difficult to stomach but it would be possible. But in shitty countries where there is a scarcity of food (not just meat) and animal products are the most nutritious available options, it would help for Western governments to invest in them agriculturally. Animal well-being isn't the only reason we should do this; Americans in particular enjoy a very good lifestyle on the whole, and it's about time they gave a slice of that to the people struggling to swallow their cakes of dirt. There's absolutely no reason children should be starving over eggs in India when they could be given enriched rice or soy or some other easily cultivated plant-based protein source.
Animals are helpless, which means they will naturally live a life of suffering when left to their own devices. The default mode of four-legged existence is suffering. Life sucks when you have four legs and no fingers.
I read a few months ago that something like 70% of moose in Maine die in the wild from ticks. If you've ever seen a moose covered by ticks over 80% of its body, you know how scary nature really is. Others die from freezing to death when they get mange or chronic wasting disease. Getting predated upon is a very painful, slow, terrifying experience.
We can look at the miserable state of wild animals, and allow them to suffer pointlessly because of their natural handicaps, or we can reach in and take advantage of all the benefits of animal domestication, while giving these animals a fairly decent improvement in comfort and safety of the course of their lives.
Anti-meat/milk activists also have no answer as to what to do with animals when we stop killing/milking them. Do we let them loose? If so, they cause much environmental destruction and crop losses. They also get brutally killed by other animals or ticks, or cold wet winds, or hunger. They also take land from wild animals such as deer and the American and Eurasian bison, which are finally resurging after being nearly exterminated. Encounters between them and freed cows would lead to further hybridization; this is irresponsible.
The only "moral" solution would be to end the "holocaust" by simply exterminating all domesticated animals once and for all. But no one wants to do that, and it defeats the entire purpose as well.
The truth is, morality is not the be-all and end-all of human decisions. The biggest con the system ever taught us was that it is, and that we have to have these pointless discussions about abstract ideas like "morality" to justify our actions. We do not. There is something else called reality, and it's far more important. Human actions are about 75% reality, 25% morality. It's what works.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-09-21 at 9:31 PM UTC in Counterfeit MoneyYes, take a regular $10 bill and bleach it in a pan filled with concrete stripper. Then print the old pre-1990s $100 bill scans (available online) on to it with a good quality laser printer. Then rough it up so it looks used. Or if your $10 bill was mint, don't rough it up and say it's from a collection. Or literally sell the damn bill online to money collectors.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
