do you guys ever just find something and realize how completely absurd the internet is
we live in an environment where everything online is "normal" even when it's totally fucking bizarre
like look at this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTPdakOtxwc
this is a video showing a real life woman in a field copying a computer generated anime girl's dance, including leeks, to a very high degree of precision. the music playing is a computer-generated japanese girl's voice singing a traditional finnish a cappella song from the early 20th century, which is only popular because roughly a decade ago, someone set this music to a short clip from bleach. all of the comments are in spanish for some reason.
more than 5 million people have watched this video
do any of you guys ever have moments like this where you legitimately disengage from the experience of being online for a moment to go "what the fuck is happening with the internet man"
i know being jaded and unexcited is the dominant mode of internet usage, particularly here, but someone else must know what i'm talking about

I spend 14 hours a day on the internet, so no. I don't get moments like that anymore.
I know what you mean. If my grandpa were alive to see the what i consume on a daily basis he would become overwhelmed with dissociation. The fuck are we all doing
dunno but I liked the vid

I take it you don't remember Gangnam Style.
To be honest, I'm having a hard time believing the left isn't a motion capture recreation of the right.
Yeah, most of us think that sometimes. I really love the oh shit I'm sorry meme.
It's gay porn. Without the porn.

i spent most of my day on the internet too anon
i still occasionally have moments where i go "oh what the fuck" not out of disgust but out of a genuine response to an absurd situation
i find that i'm happier if i notice how weird and meaningless everything is every once in a while

my grandpa is alive and he sits in a chair watcing tv news channels all day and night

i get a kick out of the non-porn parts of porn
it's like genuine outsider cinema: acting by people who can't act according to a script written by people who can't write
most of the time i'm not up to serious cyber athletics i'm looking at muslims getting rekt or asians driving over infants or cumpilations and not crazy weeb stuff so not really OP but i get what you're on about, sort of

"How strange it is to be anything at all" - Jeff Mangum
I find it odd too anon. The whole damn world is odd. This is a good thread

gangnam style was certainly an absurd moment of internet, sure. what was weirder was how it infected the american mainstream
the only good end result of gangnam style was this, also

but i think vocaloid (as in the OP) is at the forefront of unsettling online material. it's like some shit from a dystopian cyberpunk 2090s japan, but it's in the present and people eat it up

Norman's watch videos of each other throughout the day and respond with other videos, people actually talk to girls they've never met online or have online friends in video games. How many times can you point a screen at your face and then send your face to someone else's screen before it gets less weird

Internet is as revolutionary as the printing press desu senpai.
Probably moreso.
Information and disinformation has never been so rife and uncontrolled.
The coming century will be exciting to see unfold.
