I will never understand people who like to base their fashion/identity around certain "aesthetics", but I digress.

The 2010s were a strange time for me, I enjoyed the trends of 2D. I think the 2010s have the best looking anime by far, especially as far as character design goes. I understand that some people find this sterile. I don't really know much else about the 2010s other than large movements for social change that ultimately didn't affect much. Everything feels a lot more generic and less "wholesome" (?) is how I tend to view it. But that's just my opinion. I'm sure people will look back fondly on the 2010s one day.

What I think must be noted however is that decades don't end culturally as soon as the calendar decade does, nor does it start. For example, a lot of people feel that the 2010s didn't really start until like 2013 or 2012 and the 90s didn't end until 2004.

I have no idea of the trends that will crop up during the 2020s, other than everyone who's on websites other than big social media seems to have this wistful longing for the 2000s so maybe there will be a large scale revival for that kind of internet climate, but considering how jaded everyone is, I sincerely doubt it will happen.

"The 2020s is shaping up to be the decade anon finally becomes an hero."

Something tells me that the 20s will be the decade Big Beat, light blue filters, and 2000s early 3d futurism will take a revival.
I honestly can't wait, I love The Prodigy.

>>18
I remember when youtube still had the original videoclip of "One love" by The Prodigy.
They fucking deleted it.

>>19
Sounds similar to what happened to the "codename dancer" videoclip of a member of Death Grips. Nobody ended up saving it so after being set to private it can be no longer seen.
Also a lot of content that I liked on youtube no longer exists, it's insane, things that used to exists no longer do and it's impossible to ever witness them again.

>>8
What did it say?

>>7
I mean this in the nicest way possible, but you're doing it wrong. 4chan was able to start as an anime board and slowly broaden its scope because it was one of the very few sites of its kind in the west for a while, meaning it could attract people who were only there for the anonymity and didn't really care a ton about anime. Nowadays there's tons of anonymous imageboards, so you're not really going to see that type of outward expansion, or at least not at the rate 4chan did.

>>10
I'm going to take the opposite route and say you should stick with that. If you want a direct focus on particular topics for your community, it's better to stick with it than to try and attract more people instead.

Not the same person, but got this:

Can't post right now and there's not much activity, but I'll add you to my .txt. Might come back if your vidya board turns out okay and isn't full of board drama and shitposting. Nothing else that really interests me on the site, but I'm still looking for a creativity focused board though, all the art boards etc I can find are pretty much dead.

>>12
The problem is fixed now.
Issue was caused because I updated the backend from the testing branch and not the frontend.

"To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering." -Friedrich Nietzche

Life is all about having problems and solving them. You just need to find the types of problems you think ought to be solved and make an effort to solve them.

>>6
Many of those problems seem far beyond my reach. I don't think that line of thinking helps.

Then find smaller problems.

We'd be very fucked, modern society is completely dependent on electricity

>>2
How much is very though? Are we talking a dark age that eventually fixes itself, or are we talking humanity going back to being bipedal monkeys and never progressing past the stone age ever again?

well at least I could enact my fantasy for an isekai where the internet is powered by monks and smoke signals

Wouldn't the universe fizzle out immediately?

1: Exceedingly fucked for a reasonable amount of time, but not on the level of fucked of say nuclear war.

2: Probably about a decade for things to fall back to a norm. If we were never able to find another source of electrical generation no matter how meager it'd take us about ten years to rebuild agricultural society. Speaking strictly for the West I would say that most people would have to leave cities and become subsistence farmers or psuedo sharecroppers, perhaps communes of sorts. Without electricity we simply could not continue our agricultural output per hectare and contemporary industrial farms would need tens of thousands of workers to continue at scale, it'd be more likely that the government would start splitting out land. Large cities and most of the american sprawl would be reasonably terrible in the transition, with starvation, water shortages, looting, and civil conflict on a large set of dimensions but I've no doubt we'd be able to overcome. After all, the electricity is gone and guns don't need that and as such the federal government should be able to reassert control.

i don't know what this is from but i'd totally be down to shitpost in the delicious poop recipe thread. it would probably be top tier as long as people keep in mind its a parody of a parody. the longer i look at that image the funnier it gets.

haha. take that, dolphins

This is gold.
Where is my temporary invitation to 8ch..

I get confusion when I read regular comics
usuallly it ruins the punchline

>>5
I used to have that back when I mostly read manga but now that I primarily read American and French indie comics I have the opposite issue; manga is really unnatural for me to read now.

It's weird because I spent the first decade and a half of my life pretty much exclusively with manga. You'd think the habit wouldn't break so easily.

>>6
Yeah getting used to it is quick, it's just switching context that's kind of confusing. Although going from western comics to manga is a bit harder, they tend to take more liberties with panelling and translated manga always look a bit off since the bubbles were drawn for vertical text.

>I primarily read American and French indie comics
What do you read?

I bet he just wanted to say "I primarily read American and French indie comics", he doesn't actually do it.

>>7
I've been reading a bunch of meg mogg and owl lately. I relate way more to owl than anyone reasonably should. I've also started reading prison pit and mfkz, but I'm not very far in either.

There's no actual problem with that, since corpses aren't living beings. An onahole can't give consent either, but that's not a problem for anyone. It's not like "raping" a dead body is going to cause it any lasting mental trauma or anything.
The real problem with necrophilia is partially risk of diseases, but also largely just a general concept of respect for the dead. A dead body holds very high sentimental value for the friends and family of the deceased, so putting your dick into it would be highly disrespectful. It would be like going into your friend's house and then just cumming all over a beloved keepsake or family heirloom. That wouldn't be okay.

I wonder if any culture has ever had necrophilia as part of a funeral ritual. Like, the deceased's lover making love to them one last time before the body is buried or cremated. The concept seems really romantic to me.

>>1
There is everything wrong with Necrophilia.

>>8
Necrophilia is wrong because it's unsanitary. Fucking a rotting corpse is a great way to make your dick fall off.

>>10
It takes several days for the body to start decomposing, so if one gets on with it in first 24 hours then damage to genitalia shouldn't be a concern.

>>10
I did mention risk of diseases in my post, but as >>11 said, fucking a corpse doesn't always mean fucking a _rotting_ corpse.
If you were specifically addressing the last part of my post, eating a rotting corpse is also unsanitary, and yet cannibalism has been part of funeral rituals in the past. There are ways to be safe about it, chief among them being to not wait until the body starts rotting.

It's just weird, as I had gotten used to 4taba being its own archive.
Especially for some threads, which are either super old, like the first few, or ones that are super long, like the CYOA one.

Does this mean my threads from 4 years ago (now 50 years ago) will die unless I keep sage 'bumping' them?

>>4
Sage posting won't change anything.
Basically "old" here means 2 possible things. The thread has fallen off the last page, or has received more than 500 posts.
(note that if a thread is pushed off the last page by someone bumping an "old" thread it doesn't count).

Once the thread is marked old then it doesn't matter if you bump it or not, it's going to be deleted after the time runs out.
This is the first time threads are going to be deleted though so I'm open to whatever people want. If your threads are marked old and you want them to be active again a mod can do it (just me for now). Just ask.

>>5
You're very polite, Taba-tan.
Would you give the CYOA thread another 500 posts? We're just waiting to see if the author will ever end his hiatus, which started about a year ago.

No problem

I think trying to be happy is a luxury in this world, which is sad as fuck.
Most days I think are just spent trying not to feel like shit, and that's true of more people in this world than would ever admit to it.
Ironically that's part of the problem. The average person wants to be viewed as happy by others more than they want to actually feel happy on the inside, so they'll never want to admit they aren't, and therefore we never end up building anything in this world to be genuinely happy about. Everyone just says they're happy and then wastes their life away doing fuck all but reproducing and slaving away at a "job".

There really isn't anything that can make me consistently happy. Some things have higher success rates though, like music maybe. But happiness really just seems to be a random burst of happiness that has no actual cause.
Almost like your brain is just sick of everything being so dull or outright horrible all the time that it decides to be happy for no reason to balance itself out or something.

>>2
Happiness is only a luxury for the more contemplative types, eg the people who use imageboards. If you think too much about life you'll start seeing how vast and chaotic the world is and start feeling overwhelmed. If thinking about something brings you nothing but misery and you have no practical reason to think about it, simply put it out of your mind

>>3
It goes beyond that stuff. It's not that there are problems, it's that there are obvious things in everyone's life that make them miserable and they don't acknowledge it.
Take the workforce for example. Does anyone actually believe that a 40hr workweek was some magic number that some geniuses in a think tank came up with to create the perfect balance of life, progress, and work? Does anyone actually believe that number just so happens to optimize practically every single job out there?
No. It really might as well have been a number chosen at random. Our society stabilized itself around that number, but it could have easily been 30, or 20.
In fact, I would even argue that some lower numbers would create more progress. Especially scientific and cultural progress.

Another way to put it is, we are still living in a survival-based system. The game of life is literally just a survival game. Despite all our technology and advances we're really not that far removed from our hunter-gatherer ancestors (and believe it or fucking not they actually worked LESS than the average person today does). You stop working you die.
The dreams of the average human being go no further than survival-based dreams and instincts. It's just boring, tedious, and sad.
Almost nothing in this world is even actually built to make you happy. That's only the secondary motive, with the primary motive being money, which is just more survival shit. That includes movies, shows, and even music to some extent.

I think I have some distant dream of owning a nice vineyard with beautiful children and a good life, but I also think it is a lie I tell myself everyday so that I get out of bed and assume the guise of a productive member of society. I suppose maybe that is what adulthood is, but at 23 I am saddened by the fact that I already feel like I'm spinning my tires on my way to the grave.

With that said, I think personal contentment was never something that made me happy. What I feel makes me feel genuinely happy is seeing others and our species succeed; even if I might never set foot on Mars I would be overjoyed for us to do so. When someone creates a work of art I don't think I ever feel happiness driven by a personal relationship to the subject at hand, but I am gladdened to see that someone else was able to create something like that. It is kind of weird. I don't lament my failings, I just wish others the best.
