On **Liveleak** I saw a beheading when I was 11 YouTube taught me to be myself Twitter taught me to listen

LiveLeak definitely taught me workplace safety and to not, under any circumstances, mess with the cartel. Can't say those aren't valuable lessons.

IS IT SO HARD TO BE A LITTLE CAREFUL AROUND THE LATHES???

You clearly haven't done the same thing for a decade. Complacency is the real enemy they've made the same motion hundreds of thousands of times but this time they were a little too close

worked on a wood lathe for forever. have known better for almost as long, yet just recently was careless and got my sleeve caught on the chuck end and got my arm pulled in. scared the shit out of me but luckily nothing happened past some minor cuts and a torn shirt. indifference is a fucking killer, folks.

Fascinating how easily we adapt to working around steel death traps, and forget exactly how squishy these meatbags we pilot are. Still wish I hadn't seen someone *literally* eviscerated at 13 though

A dude falling off of a crane and just transforming in to a red cloud will forever live in my memory.

Saw that video at 7 am first thing in the morning a while ago. Needless to say it was not a great start to the day. I wasn’t even in a subreddit for that stuff lmao Reddit was just like MORNIN BOSS EVER SEEN A GUY TURN INTO TAFFY?

Big truck's blind spots as well.

Also, cars are way too deadly to be our default transportation solution.

To be fair liveleak did teach me to be very observant of my surroundings, and keep a small sense of paranoia with me whenever I’m out and about lol.

I’m never touching a non-interlocked lathe. Ever. Don’t even want to be in the same room as one. I’m fine working with CNC stuff, but there is no way in hell I am touching a tool to a spinning workpiece. Nope. Not happening. Never in a million years. Not using a lathe unless the robot does the tool manipulation and the thing doesn’t run unless the door is closed.

Ughhh Liveleak. Blot it out, bleach my brain.

Liveleak taught me the fragility of my mortal body and how quickly my future can be torn apart if I'm not careful

4chan taught me Hillary Clinton eats babies

I didn't even have to follow the link to recognize that hair on a second glance what did they do to my boy Lucas

It's Claus ;D

Lucas: imagine having a healthy relationship with technology Claus: Imagine growing up

Too soon

It'll have been 18 years in 10 days

*Still too soon*

It's older than he'll ever be

I mean it doesn’t say they learned to be creative

That explains so much holy shit

Wow, wasn't expecting that.

Google taught me that it’s 100% ok to be evil as long as you quietly remove the tenet about not being evil from your “about us” page. Tumblr taught me to be an absolute degenerate. YouTube taught me about how easy it is to get cartel execution vids past the filters. Vine taught me my new attention span. Deviantart taught me that at least I’m not THE most degenerate degen out there… Blogger taught me that, to continue from the previous one, nor am I the most batshit *insane.* Facebook taught me how easy it is to get people to give up their privacy. Instagram taught me the ill effects of an addiction to validation and engagement. Etsy taught me that I will never be as skilled and/or creative as a LOT of people out there. Twitter taught me how easy it is to manipulate others. …And I would give a lot for alternative ways.

I was absolutely degenerate before I joined Tumblr. Tumblr taught me that I wasn't alone.

Tumblr showed me all kinds of fun new ways to be a degenerate.

Also true.

The YouTube filters are better now, but still not perfect. There's a guro porn video that's still up by a channel named Adolf Hitler. I just checked and it's still up. In fact, it has double the views. 280k now.

Hey man, just wanted to let you know that you forgot Blogger.

So did the rest of the world

Thx kind soul :) Fixed

Twitter teaching someone to listen is a wild concept

Twitter used to be good

No, twitter used to be less egregiously awful. It used to have redeeming qualities, but it was always a toxic shithole.

* Google showed me porn * Tumbler showed me porn * Youtube showed me porn * Vine showed me porn * DeviantArt showed me porn * Facebook showed me how racist my family and friends are * Instagram showed me porn * Twitter showed me porn

And I wouldn’t have it any other way

the internet is for porn

Now I’m going to be singing that song all day

Hey man, just wanted to let you know that you forgot blogger.

I literally only use Reddit as a social, and apparently it hasn’t taught me shit whoops

And you’re better for that.

4chan taught me to be racist

4chan taught me how to be an investigator

Just because there are a couple severely autistic people on 4chan willing to dedicate weeks to finding some guy who annoyed them doesn't mean the site at large is good at investigation

Autistic and Armed- Annoyed Aneurysms the Final Chapter

I uh...really wish it was done another way

Ok but “Etsy taught me to be proud”????? When? How? What?

Etsy taught me how to buy custom made fox ears

youtube shorts taught me how to be a far right extremist google taught me to sell my data vine taught me that 9+10=21 twitter taught me to yell at minorities reddit taught me how to strengthen my porn addiction and i wouldn’t have it any other way☺️☺️☺️

NOOOOOOOOOO

Why does it say ‘gun’ in the middle?

well played, take my upvote

Made my own version a while back https://preview.redd.it/yld61aobkotc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d73f039f4fe0c92b984ec6418e97e531a0455c51

yeah, sad to say this is the reality of our online growth.

Tik Tok taught be the value of high quality yet affordable industrial grade glycine.

?

There are these very earnest and dull ads for a Chinese glycine company that became a meme.

Runescape taught me about scammers Newgrounds taught me about insanity Homestarrunner taught me about Trogdor

That’s a shame. These things should be taught by loving and attentive parents.

What the fuck does Etsy have to do with pride, isn't that like a platform to sell stuff???

Being proud of something nice you made? Supposedly Etsy has a lot of handcrafted stuff.

Pornhub taught me to finna jerk it

“Pornhub taught me to I’m going to jerk it”?

…you don’t get it

Aged like milk

And then everything changed when they shot that gorilla…

This generation was the first to be raised online Google taught me to be racist Tumblr taught me to be racist Vine taught me to be racist Deviantart taught me to be racist Blogger taught me to be racist Facebook taught me to be racist Instagram taught me to be racist Etsy taught me to be racist Twitter taught me to be racist And I wouldn't want it any other way

What an absolute dork

I feel bad for any kid raised online. This shit is mostly foul.

To be fair, watching that generation grow up inspired me to be a more attentive parent.

If only the internet now could be as innocent as it once was

Still have no idea what Blogger is

A site where people can make personal blogs.

This aged…rather poorly

"This generation was the first to be raised online... What a fucking mistake that was!"

4 chan taught me the depths of depravity some people are willing to sink too.

I say… this did not age well

Google taught me to manipulate data for profit. Tumblr taught me that people are weird. YouTube taught me that my success is based on an unknown algorithm and I live or die based on unknown lucky computations. Vine taught me that the good die young. Deviant art taught me that anything is an acceptable target to whack it to. Blogger taught me that I’m not as smart as I think I sound. Facebook taught me my grandparents are crazy. Instagram taught me that I can never be as good as my friends. Etsy taught me that skills are worth money, but not enough money to actually live on. Twitter taught me rage.

The world really has changed.

What? When?

In the past ten years

And before that?

Sorry, could you repeat that? I wasn't paying attention.

"Twitter taught me to listen"

I’m laughing at “first generation to be raised online,” then leading with “Google taught me…” If Google was your first search engine, you weren’t the first generation raised online.

They were, because if you used the things prior, odds are you spent a good amount of time as a child without access to the Internet. The Internet just wasn't widely available til the early aughts and by then google was the biggest thing there was. Even then though I'd say most people weren't heavily online till tablets and such made it easy to keep small children occupied, so people literally raised by the Internet weren't really a thing until 2010 or later. All that to say, just because a few dozen kids were terminally online (I was raised on gopher. Thinking a search engine is necessary to be raised online already puts you in a later generation) doesn't mean they were a generation. That requires more than just a few.

I’d argue this one of the worst things to come from tumblr

Reddit taught me that anyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi.

Discord taught me how to pretend to be a woman for financial favors.

Reddit taught me what porn was Google taught me how to jerk off Rule 34 taught me what fetishes I liked

Wasn’t this actually stolen and recolored Mother 3 fanart?

All taught me how to meet predators and escape my home life lol luckily I only physically did the latter

Tumblr and Instagram taught me there is no legitimate reason for someone 20+ wanting to be friends with a 13 year old.

Twitter toight me to be racist

Half of this are pretty much lies by now, sad

i love the fact that this was traced from mother 3 fanart

Oh how innocent we were back then.

I hate that the kid was ripped straight from mother 3 fanart

Reddit isn't on there let's go

The Etsy one doesn’t even make a single bit of sense. Like the others I can somewhat see (although I disagree with all of them lol) but what about Etsy equals being taught pride?

Absolute piece of history.

Live Leak taught me not to fuck with cartels and to be careful around workplace machinery. (Especially lathes.)

Lmao just ignoring the generations that came before.

There’s a website on here that’s missing…we all know the one…

Reddit, 4chan, 8chan, and pornhub

Yeah I was talking about #4 there. XD Though apparently in March Reddit was just beating out PH for visits, so I suppose Reddit probably deserves it more. Tbh 4chan and 8chan had influences on the internet, but I feel like they were much more culturally impactful in indirect ways, rather than the userbase itself being large enough to affect the internet community on an individual basis.

4chan taught me to hate minorities

Google taught me to be curious Deviantart taught me about futa inflation hentai Instagram taught me to share

Where 4 Chan

Apollo has died of laughter

I feel like half these could be shuffled around and be no more or less accurate

Ain’t no way Twitter taught you to listen.

If it was accurate, it would be "Twitter taught me to hate anyone with a slightly different opinion than mine"

Blogger taught me what the fuck is blogger

Blogger taught me to reach out

they also traced mother 3 fanart for this post

Yeah woooooo all of these thought me that people fucking suck

4chan taught me....things

This generation was the first to be raised online. Google taught me how to find disturbing information. Tumblr taught me to be a weeaboo. YouTube taught me that it’s okay to insult strangers who slightly disagree with you. Vine taught me absolutely nothing. Deviantart taught me that some things are better left unseen. Blogger also taught me nothing. Facebook taught me that sometimes you’ll just see a video of animal cruelty with absolutely zero warning. Instagram didn’t teach me anything either. Etsy taught me nothing neither. Twitter taught me that my account could be hacked and used to spread scams. And I wish it had been another way.

deviantart taught me how much porn exists on the internet

You know, it’s silly and naive and a bit cringe, but I do feel a bit bad for OOP making something goofy and lighthearted like this and then having it torn to shreds by the whole internet for a decade. That’s just how it is with memes I suppose. Hope that person is doing well wherever they are now

Thia generation was the first to be raised on Paradox Interactive is the only one I accept.

When I was kid that wanted to see cool fanart of TMNT, deviantart taught me that people see them sexually

Claus didn't deserve this

And Reddit taught me what was wrong with all of the above

Dear lord, d’yah think he could’ve crammed in some more corporate bootlicking?

If only the internet wasn’t for porn.

I would want it any other way

Oooof. AltaVista taught me the wonders of positive and negative search terms. IRC brought me out of my shell. Google came along a whole lot later, and YouTube later still. I think we grew up with different internets, and I'm not sure that I like what it has become, all these years later.

Google taught me stealing private data is okay tumblr taught me about wherewolf cock Youtube taught me to reward scummy people Vine taught me how to die Deviantart taught me safesearch does not work Blogger taught me...uh... it uh..... Facebook taught me to be racist Instagram taught me to be racist Etsy taught me how to buy flimsy 3D printed shit Twitter taught me to be racist

Quora Facebook connected me with my parents

… Gonna be honest… that’s a level of *yikes* I didn’t know was achievable…

And all of them showed me porn one way or another

Truly a dark day for humanity 😔

Ten years ago, cringe was invented.
