Okay, so start from 25 years ago.

I would fuck her throat so hard.

It a classic image and I'm 75% sure its a trap.

I'd still do it though.

25 years ago. Rome was ascendant but computers weren't invented yet. Autists had to go to bars and brothels where they hid from women and wrote memes

There was a forum called Something Awful that needed a place to host images. One of the users there, under the name M00t, started a webzone to host pictures for Something Awful. M00t was a high school student at the time, who didn't know much about computer science or webzone design, so he copied the design and style of a little known japanese image board called 2chan. Then, M00t made the terrible mistake of hosting it without moderating it. Within hours the board became a hosting place for child porn. Years of fighting against pedo's, being targeted by police agencies trying to shut it down, all funded by a tiny amount of advertising revenue allowed a shitty website to become a legend.

Sometime around 2007 or 2008 the church of scientology did something to piss off a bunch of newfags on /b/, which spawned a shitty hacking group called "Anonymous", and a bunch of other shitty hacktivist groups. In 2009 a teenage girl named posted a youtube video under the name "Boxxy", it split the newfags on /b/ into two factions. A civil meme-war broke out, which forced one side to bring down the internet (or just 4chan).

Then a board named /pol/ opened up. That's where all of the autists ended up arguing about ww2. Eventually a troll from /b/ asked the autists how many jews died in the holocaust. The resulting argument red-pilled the autists there on the holohoax. Then the JIDF showed up and started spamming /pol/ with shill threads sliding the place. Eventually trolls dragged more shill groups like the JIDF to spam /pol/ to disrupt the Autists.

Ron Paul became a meme. This lead to electing Trump. In 2013 or 2014 m00t cashed out and sold the webzone 4chan to ((((them))). This led to the development of infinity chan. That's pretty much it.

>beginning with /pol/
/tg/ autists on 1d4chan have a better grasp of vietnamese puppetry board history than /his/

>>3115528

Oh, and at some point /pol/ figured out that the world is being run by Satanic Pedophile Cannibals. They're upset about this.

>tfw chanology is responsible for newfags thinking this place is some sort of bastion of free speech.
Truly it was the beginning of the end.

Basically it all went to shit when newfags stopped bothering to lurk, and normalfags flooded the site.
