  • Yeah not absolutely every meme/slang listed might be originated on 4Chan. TLDR seems to have originated or at least popularized by the SomethingAwful forums, which together with ebaumsworld could be considered the parents of 4Chan (with cross-pollination by Newgrounds?). But 4Chan was the crossroads of all these memes coming together, germinating and spreading to every other site shortly after.



  • It was the r/the_donald exodus and I will fucking die on this hill. I was there. I saw it.

    Reddit banned that sub and many of these boomers migrated to /pol/. Trump posting turned from being ironic to legit. You could spot the ever increasing facebook boomer memes and that was also the point where Twitter screenshot posting became the staple of the board. By being pretending to be retarded, /pol/ attracted and amplified actual retards who took over. 2016 is when that board should have been nuked but no one wanted to release the sewage onto other places.

    Eh, feels like he’s playing up the stereotype of the eternal German.

    "…WE DON’T DO ZIS IN GERMANY! YOU BUILD HOUSES WITH WOOD? WE DON’T DO ZIS IN GERMANY. YOU DON’T SEPARATE GLASS FROM RECYCLING? BUT WE DO ZIS IN GERMANY!!!

    I’m allowed to say that, I’m German myself. We are obnoxious and tone-deaf fuckers.

    “3 Minuten sind 3 zu viel” geht hart. Viel besser als das heutige “45 Minuten und außerplanmäßiges Umsteigen weil der neue Lokführer nicht zur Arbeit kam und das Traffo wieder Probleme hat sind jetzt nicht so gut aber niemand kann sich ein Auto leisten”.





  • Thanks for typing out the percentages, so far I’ve only seen emotional news reports about it without any detailed info.

    Are these tariffs on ALL goods from a certain country? Eg, does 34% on China mean 34% on ALL Chinese goods or just certain ones like cars?

    Well, one of two things will happen now.

    • The US economy will recede by roughly 30% over the coming years (classified by economists as “catastrophic collapse”)

    • It will turn out that trade was “fake and gay” all along and autarky is the way to go, despite centuries of historic lessons to the contrary.

    Take your pick.
