Rule (Law) 34, anybody?

Ahahahahaha, please tell me I'm not the only one who gets this.

Ah i get Rule 34 haha, its a Disturbing Rule, but probably true.


Law - Never argue with a troll, it only encourages them.

Rule 1: You do not talk about /b\.
Rule 2: You do not talk about /b\.
...
Rule 35: If porn of it does not exist, it will.

There are a couple of the "Rules of the Internet" (http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Rules_Of_The_Internet) that make sense. The majority are just tired old jokes that date the rules pretty badly.

I accept:

11, 12-13, 15, 21, 25, 26.

Rule 35 used to state that the only exception to rule 34 was rule 34. Also there was one about once you think of something it becomes a fetish online. That one might not have actually been a rule.

Wait...Murphy's Law is not an internet law..Murphy's Law is old..like...50 years old...

And Sturgeon's Law is also not an internet law...its 50 years old too!

Technically that isn't true, but I will agree for the sake of thread survival.

What you mean its not technically true? They been around long before the internet became popular, the first time that the modern "murphy's law" was invoked was around the 1800.

Also they apply outside of the Internet. Goodwins doesnt apply cause it says "in a Usernet bla bla bla."

Usenet=network/internet

It is technically untrue because the first occurances of them being referred to as LAWS didn't occur until the last 30 or 40 years. Scratch that, Godwin's Law was created in the 1980's, so that could, TECHNICALLY, be considered an internet law, if even not spawned on the internets. /logic

It wasnt spawned on the internet we know today but Godwin's law was designed for the internet.

As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."

But Murphy's law and Sturgeon's Law are not Internet Laws. They just "laws" that apply to every day and every random ocasion.

Godwins Law=Internet Law as to the law refers to a form of online discussion.

Murphy's law and Sturgeon's Law=Not Internet Law but Everyday Law.

Law of awesome: Souplex > X

X = whatever you can think of.

Rule (Law) 34, anybody?

Ahahahahaha, please tell me I'm not the only one who gets this.

I get it, my childhood memories now come in adult

Oh, the memories...and the sweet, sweet memories of those memories being raped and pushed down a well...Thank you, internet.

Oh, and in the interest of staying on-topic, I'll post my favorite corollary to rule 34:

If someone states an exception to rule 34, someone will immediately rule 34 it. No exceptions.

 

[kewlrabbit]

Comedy = Tragedy + Time. Internet comedy = Tragedy + 5 minutes for a photoshop.

 

[puppydogvaan]

Can Rule 34 be... Rule 34'd? Is it possible?

Possible? Ha. I've seen it.

Rule #20 If a thread is locked, it's locked for a reason, don't remake it.
Rule #21 Report and move on

 

[Evilbunny]

I already posted this, but the more popular a thread is, the more likely it is to get locked for no apparent reason.

This is due to the fact that controversial threads attract loads of attention, and therefore loads of screaming jerks. And thus they get locked.

Except for the "I bet he's cockneyed" thread and "The person below me" thread which just got locked for no reason at all.
