by the way, it’s real bold of hollywood to be like “the writers and actors have unrealistic expectations, but WE know what we’re doing” when they got tricked into releasing morbius in theaters a second time.
Today, I would like to commemorate an event which has laid a very profound impact on the internet.
Ten years ago on this day (06/08/09), a forum website called SomethingAwful held a photoshop contest titled ācreate paranormal imagesā.Ā The contest would require participants to edit ordinary photographs into creepy-looking images, and then try to pass them off as authentic photos on other paranormal forums.
Two days later, on June 10th, a user by the name Victor Surge would find this thread, and become inspired.Ā He submitted the two pictures above, featuring a tall, faceless monster which would stalk children, who would then disappear.Ā He called his monster āthe Slender Manā. After this initial post, Surge and others would expand on the character and the story, creating one of the internetās most famous monsters.Ā The Slender Man proved to be popular enough to spread to other websites, with 4chan, Deviantart, and TV Tropes all having their own Slender-Mania. On June 20th of that same year, another user on the SomethingAwful forums found the Slender Man, and also wanted to contribute.Ā Noticing nobody had made any videos yet of the monster, he sat down with some of his friends and planned out a video webseries involving a former college film student discovering and unravelling the mysteries surrounding Slender Man; this would become Marble Hornets, one of the first horror-themed ARGās of the internet.
That all happened ten years ago.Ā Ten years of haunting the darkest corners of the internet, and Slender Man has built up a surprisingly dense resume, for a fictional monster.Ā Several popular webseries, a couple hit games, at least two movies, even inspiring other characters in seperate series like the Silence in Dr Who and the Enderman in Minecraft.Ā And all this within a ten-year period.
I think this just attests to how much humans can be inspired by an idea.Ā From a small handful of edited photographs, we collectively constructed a new monster which lurks in our nightmares, and now it almost seems as natural as the horror mythos he was based on.Ā For better or worse, the Slender Man seems to be here to stay.
Happy Birthday, Slendy!Ā Hereās to hoping you continue to be both terrifying and terrific!
i noticed that silverās sneasel is female despite having a longer ear feather like the male sneasels do
meaning his sneasel is a transgirl happy pride everyone
putting this here as well- a similar thing happened in the manga where his sneasel was male for a majority of the time, but next time we see em in the hgss arcs, his sneasel had evolved into weavile and was now female!
hey netizens! iām not sure how many people are aware, but youtubeās been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that canāt be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate
BUT, if youāre a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard to get rid of it!

Serebii could never fucking happen on the modern Internet
Serebii was made on geocities in ‘99 by a child. It was one of the first and continues to be one of the best resources for Pokemon. If it were today it’d probably be a wiki.fandom page.
Reminder that it was called Serebii because the English fandom didn’t have an official name for Celebi yet. Serebii is such a living relic of old internet and old fandom and its amazing thats its still around.
āif mushrooms are the superior lifeform that really calls the shots on this earth, why havenāt they destroyed us yet?ā listen to yourself. have we as humans gotten rid of every mountain on the planet just because we are smarter than big rocks? no!! because they donāt pose a threat to us. sure some people die rock climbing or skiing and thatās tragic but mountains arenāt dangerous to us as a global society. do you see where i am going with this. itās your misplaced hubris that makes you think that humankind is worth destroying to a mushroom. we are a part of the mundane landscape on the surface. we pose no threat to the mycelian era. humble yourself
The only way fungi live is by breaking down preexisting organic matter. They need other things to live so that they may live. Weāre not a threat to them. Weāre dinner.
twitter changing their logo to doge really solidified how much of a garbage fire of a website it has become.
Oh and they changed it to doge because Elon is currently facing a TWO-HUNDRED AND FIFTY EIGHT BILLION DOLLAR LAWSUIT for scamming investors with dogecoin and heās trying to bury search results for it. Because heās the most pathetic man on Earth
Really Important NewsĀ ā This lawsuit is higher then this dumpster fires networth (according go google at least). If he ruins heād have to surrender more money than he has, liquid or otherwiseāin otherwords, heād be ruined and would either have to sell his companies to pay or declare bankrupcy, either option would be hilarious soā
