I remember in the early 2000s when I got Internet at home, one of my relatives kept telling me about forums and how great they were. And my thought was "Why would would I want to know what the average dumb fuck thinks about things?" I might have forgotten this wisdom.

In the old days, every village had one or two idiots. Thanks to the internet, the idiots have created their own village.

Dude, if your posting here, you are one of us.

Resistance is futile.

I will travel to this village and with my slightly superior intellect become king of the idiots!

Bad news: the "village" is 4chan. Have fun!

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago

Be forewarned that not every village is as welcoming and wise as Idiocracy.

Rael life is much dumbper tahn that!

I'm sure you're on t the first to have thought that.

Maybe salt it a little with some religious posturing or something?

Well, the nice thing is there are lots of people eager and waiting to let us all know when and precisely how, in elaborate detail, we are being dumb fucks ourselves.

Feedback is useful.
