What is it about 4chan that makes you keep coming back to it? Does it make you feel shameful that you come here routinely?

>>81506940 (OP)
this is literally the first time I've ever been on this site

Some posts are funny and cool. As for shame, is there really any reason to have it simply for participating on this site?

>>81506953
go back desu nufag desu lurk moar desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu

>>81506953
Then why are you responding?

>>81506964
huh?
>>81506965
funny

>>81506957
Shame because of all the degeneracy that goes on here? Most posters here are very self loathing, bitter, or hateful.

>>81506985
Degeneracy whatever i could literally care less since it doesnt affect me. The more i see people self loathe or just be angry the better i feel about myself. Its also fun to be funni troll and demoralize

>>81507008
I can actually relate. Seeing some really degenerate people on this site reminds me how better I'm actually doing in my life. A lot of them really are easy to troll too.

I don't troll. I just enjoy talking to deranged people. for me it's like home. I also talk to homeless people a lot.

>>81507061
Are normal people too boring for you? Do you actually seek out the homeless in The streets and strike up a convo?

>>81507205
normal well-adjusted people scare me more than anything. I just like to chat them up when I get cigarettes and shit from the gas station.

The reason is dopamine, just like every other online shithole.

>>81507319
Got a memorable homeless person story?

>>81507423
Yeah but out of all the shit holes you choose the shit hole on fire

>>81507498
they're all pretty memorable. my favorite was when I was smoking weed with this little old black man who was very timid and quiet as we talked. then he asked me if I smoked crack, I said just once and he got a very stern look on his face and said "DON'T EVER SMOKE CRACK IT'LL RUIN YOUR LIFE." and started loudly exclaiming how horrible it was. I loved that guy, I laugh every time I think about that jekylll/hyde transformation he did right Infront of me

>>81507582
You never have any negative encounters? The homeless usually are intriguing but you never really know with those fuckers, especially if you're in a sketchy area. Always want to approach some of them to learn more about them but I'm too cautious.

>>81506940 (OP)
I used to like 4chan because it used to be funny and offer novel experiences.
Now I like 4chan because almost every other part of the internet is lame
>Reddit - astroturfed, voting system is gay
>Old Twitter - full of fags who get upset over dumb shit
>New Twitter - full of indians larping as nazis, elon is a loser
>Discord - furries and IDK how to use it in any meaningful way
>Facebook - boomers sharing AI generated memes and conspiracy theories with each other
4chan is full of fags and bots too but it feels more real, IDK how to explain it

>>81506940 (OP)
I like to talk about my life here

I think a lot of what makes 4chan interesting to me is how there's sometimes stuff that you don't find elsewhere.

Gonna be real with you, I mostly lurk on /vg/ Deltarune threads, but even just there I find a lot of art and theories that I doubt are anywhere else.

Exclusivity, basically. And looking at the cesspit from afar is kinda fun. Still pretty new to this flavor of internet hell, but it's not really that bad. Probably just because I'm already desensitized to all the shit that goes on here.

>>81507750
I asked a guy for a light once and he barked some crazy shit at me. I was scared for a second until another homeless said "don't worry man he's just crazy" and that settled me down. another time I offered a cigarette to a scruffy white guy who politely turned it down, calmly turned around then punched out gas station window, started bleeding everywhere and just ran away. that was pretty insane. but most of them are really nice. they sorta have to be, with their position and all. and I'm a tall strong fat so none of them really scare me. I've noticed that a lot of them are short. the manlet struggle is real.

>keep coming back routinely
I can be myself here, I think that's extremely common. Beyond just that I can be ultra-myself, that is, express at full intensity the sides of my personality and emotional spectrum (autism spectrum, that is) that get suppressed in normal life.
>feel shameful
I grasp that it IS shameful, but I like keeping secrets. I just enjoy having some little harmless part of my daily life that I will essentially never tell anyone about. Makes me feel somehow superior, almost, like "you don't really know me as well as you think you do" even to people who believe they are close to me.

>>81507061
>I also talk to homeless people a lot.
I do this as well. Very based, 4chan lets me enjoy meth addicted schizos from the comfort of my own home

>>81507820
Please tell us a little bit about your life then.

>>81507853
You should start a vlog interacting with the homeless. It would be a hit. Whatever area you're in sounds wild btw.

>>81507934
I like to stalk people after I leave work. It gives me great joy knowing they have no idea I follow them home.

>>81506940 (OP)
There used to be other websites, but the internet is a small and dead place now. What little remains is can never be found, since search engines no longer exist.

>>81506940 (OP)
I come to 4chan just to have something to do when I'm stuck at work.

>>81507955
This seems really based, I should start doing this

>>81507955
So you just leave after stalking them after they get home? You have no other intentions other than just following them? Surely you have other intentions.

it's a mix of true shit and actually interesting shit
the mix makes it interesting because you never know what you might get.

>>81508005
I do, which is why I stalk people and watch them in their little apartments.

that rare, ultra rare moment when you and some another anon completely connect on a subject. just for a post or two. and its the realist shit youve ever read. and its some fucking random somewhere in the world. youd never know that someone was out there who felt the same way you did. or that youd meet that person in some thread sexualising a fish fucking a toaster.
