Hey there robots
I used to hang out on 4chan a lot more before, like about a decade ago, and I accumulated a lot of mildly funny and interesting pics. Most of them are lost to the tyranny of viruses and reformatted hard drives, but I just got into an old external drive I used as a backup and found a huge image folder with good memories.
Gonna dump the stuff I like from there as I flip through it, and perhaps we can get some nostalgic conversation going. Feel free to add in whatever old shit you have lying about on your computer!
>>37974251
This one, idk, made me lol
>>37974272
I used to have the most enormous folder of demotivational posters. I remember torrenting one that was several gigs in size, and flipped through the pictures in class.
That was actually how I found 4chan, lots of mentions of /b/ and how it was filled with scum and vermin and horrible people. Funny to think about in hindsight.
>>37974314
Boxxy used to be a thing, right. I had actually forgotten.
I think that was about the time I started browsing 4chan. Boxxy was peaking, Advice Dog was morfing into the more general trend of advice animals through courage wolf / insanity wolf / depression dog, and there was this enormously stupid meme I think called "Fsjal". I had a absolutely huge folder of fsjals, some I even made myself. Probably gone by now.
>>37974446
Also found a folder called "Stuff" with a bunch of bondage porn I got off /s/. I thought that this was a more recent interest of mine, but it seems that the partialism has been in me for a while. This is getting personal, but you're all nice people.
>>37974493
Wow, found my advice animals folder. The older ones are from 2009. That literally is just shy of a decade.
I guess I started out here more like 8 years ago then, but that is still a long while to me.
>>37974554
7 bombs, lol
>>37974251
YES
NOSTALGIA MEMES
Thanks OP. I posted about that in /b/ a few times ago. Gonna save all your shit now. It's a real museum.
>>37974569
>>37974581
Fuck man, my Advice-Animal folder alone is 500 pics. I won't be able to upload all, but I'll be flipping through and uploading what I find interesting.
This one isn't even that old, bout 5 years, but it cracked me up.
>>37974644
Is this still used in one of the board banners? It's been a while.
>>37974666
I used to be obsessed with stereoscopic images, and tried to make some myself also. I remember there being threads where people posted innocent pics in /b/, and I loved it. There were also a few with "stereoscopic porn", but that was pretty rare.
Nowadays there's always a VR-porn thread in /gif/. The future truly is now.
>>37974723
There were also a bunch of threads where people would draw new faces on cartoon characters, starting out with nothing more than their silhouette. So far I only found my own contribution to a thread about redrawing Moes face, from the Simpsons, but I knew there were a lot more.
>>37974776
FSJAL! I remember calling him "Anticipation guy", so all the pics have that name. This was the template.
>>37974837
And here's an example (and another real fuckin old meme)
GIRUGAMESH
>>37974849
Wow, this folder is like a microcosm of the memes of last decade. So many parodies.
>>37974878
I only heard of Candlejack from the memes, but i sti
>>37974888
Do people still spam Carltons smug face?
>>37974913
Twaddle
>>37974913
I like do occasionally.
>>37974923
I had a cat folder. Fuckin of course I had.
>>37974923
torrent your folder origanon
>>37974939
I would, if it wasnt mixed together with a bunch of personal pictures as well. I had sort of a system but not really.
>>37974959
This is fun, I think I'll keep going for a while.
>>37974984
Yeah, it's nice to have a really upbeat friendly thread about times since passed.
Am I the only one who found troll physics fucking hilarious? Used to have a big old folder of them minus the troll face for posting in science pages etc
>>37974984
Holy shit I found the Demotivator folder.
>>37975020
They were usually based on the stupid debates you had as a kid.
>>37975020
I loved the one videos about them, but like the channel deleted his account I think.
One of them was about free energy from Isaac Newton rolling in his grave?
>>37975020
Hahahahh yeah those were always good
So many infinite energy machines
>>37975020
If you jumped up right as the chair was about to hit the ground, would it hypothetically work?
>>37975028
I counted up the different folders, given that there are no cuplicates I have 4500 demotivational posters on my hard drive.
>>37975042
I laughed at this so much back in the day.
Now I look at it and it's like, they'd just rotate on the backwheel, there's nothing funny about it.
>>37975055
No you'll just push the chair to the ground harder.
>>37975055
you would slow your fall ever so slightly and then still die on top of a broken chair
>>37975055
No, that's why most modern tall buildings are actually ever so slightly wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. Almost imperceptible to the human eyes
Ur if you tak your shoes off and put them on your hands you can slow your descent to the point where you won't die on impact. It's a sad irony that the 9/11 jumpers could possibly have survived.
>>37975106
But if you could project enough force upwards while falling, you could theoretically survive that kind of fall? I wonder what would work in those types of situations.
>>37974251
>>37974314
>>37974569
Rage comics, demotivational posters and advice dog type of images were always terrible and unfunny, even back in 2005 in my opinion. Rage comics were also juvenile in a bad way, full of shitty OC where people just started reposting the same face over and over instead of creating anything new. Sure, people liked to Shoop da whoop everywhere, but at least they were creative and actually redrew the image.
>>37975020
These were also shit.
>>37975129
Are you serious? The tips of your shoes upside down on your hands could actually slow your fall that much?
>>37975055
Only if you could push yourself really hard. You would need to jump so that you reached a speed in the opposite direction equal to the one you were falling.
Without going into details of the physics, for this to work you would have to be able to jump as high as the distance you were falling for this to work. So unless you can jump up to the 15th floor of a building, you would die.
Also, you would need to "jump off" something much heavier (having more momentum) than a common chair.
>>37975129
Brb testing now
>>37975148
I remember people like you, complaining that all of the above were the cancer that was killing /b/.
Ocean of piss, etc.
>>37975212
And look what happened, einstein. /b/ is fucking dead.
>>37975159
What if you stacked up a bunch of chairs together?
>>37975148
I have to admit though, most of the demotivationals I had stored were terrible, flipping through them now today.
Advice animals used to be fine though.
>>37975258
If they were super heavy, AND if you could normally jump up a height of 15 floors
then yes I guess it would.
>>37975154
Yeah man, but not greatly, you have to push really hard against the sides as you fall. it's the difference between shattered legs and hip or a shattered spine and burst organs.
Once you see it you won't be able to unsee it, most modern buildings are actually not 180 degrees more like 170-175 or so.
>>37975295
I have noticed that building are wider at the bottom with architectural aesthetics, but most pictures of them display them at an angle so it's hard to tell.
>>37975261
Found a combo folder.
I've been on 4chan for around 7 years, and most of that time has been spent on /v/.
>>37975361
Hopefully this will work
>>37975367
Aw, already I failed. Longcat is just too long.
>>37975295
>>37975055
>>37975154
>>37975285
>>37975295
This is why troll physics were funny, as I mentioned earlier post one on a science page on facebook and you could instantly derail entire conversations and enrage fedora tippers into desperately trying to explain the physics of not being able to jump off a chair or up in an elevator.
That is until they started appearing on 9gag and everyone knew troll face memes
>>37975402
I'm willing to bet that they would work just as well in 2017 considering how well they've done in this thread.
>>37975386
Screencap threads used to be interesting.
>>37975447
I'm pretty sure most of what I'm posting is >6 years old, but not certain.
>>37974493
>>37974493
Drop an archive somewhere anon.
>>37975447
Reminds me of this screen cap.
>>37975470
Do any of these still apply?
>>37975227
/b/ got dead because of the influx of porn threads and social threads and weed threads
Kinda like what's happening on this board
>>37975504
I've heard rumors of /z/, although I wish I could see it once.
>>37975504
Another dated meta-image.
Also, rip moot ;_;
>>37975559
I'm running out of stuff to say, hopefully there's an end to the meta humor in my folder.
Have gotten 2-second bans a couple of times now already.
>>37975586
Why was /b/ so obsessed with that 300 movie for so long? Latent homosexuality?
>>37975504
What about the last thing about /v/ ??
>>37975586
Here's a like trick. Use like at random like points in what you like say and like stuff.
>>37975621
Oh man I remember loving and then hating this comic-y kind of bullshit.
>>37975547
>>37975504
/z/ was just an image of bees pouring out of an uncircumsized dick right?
>>37975673
Is that what the bloxblox things used to be about?
>>37975720
I am almost certain that I used to have more xzibit memes.
>>37975752
Fuck this is so dumb. Why did I laugh at this.
>>37975775
Oh shit right! Cake threads. Are they still a thing?
>>37975824
Chocolate raaain, I have a few pics riffing off that.
>>37975846
Vertical threads were both the best and the worst.
>>37975720
yeah originalcommentblox and the like was always just a means of getting around the /r9k/ filter.
>>37975846
10 years later and he looks almost exactly the same

>>37975775
This one cracks me up every time since I encountered it in 2011 or 2012
>>37975447
Holy kek I have tears in my eyes
>>37974251
Any more of this girl?
I remember she got posted every day for years
getting old sucks...
