Internet Laws (Now with 100% less Flame-Baiting!)

[SimuLord]

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.

My gods, I'd always heard about the "Rules of the Internet" but that is by far the lamest thing I've seen in quite some time. Granted, /b/tards tend to think they're the Earth in a geocentric universe, but that's astounding for its sheer level of weaksauce. Rule 30, however, applies to any place where women are smart enough not to go, and /b/ qualifies.

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

I just said that.

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.

Murphy and Sturgeon's laws are, yes, intended for everyday life. However, as far as I can tell, they apply to the internet about over 9,000 times more than real life. Think about it, man - have you really seen Murphy's law in action that often in you're life?

This actually applies to this next law:

Exponential Law: For every law that exists, it is experienced more frequently and in more intensity on the internet by an exponential factor of x^999999999999999999999.

I never seen Murphy's law applied to the internet...the only thing bad that can happen to you in the internet is a PC death virus...

I have had plenty of bread fall on the floor with butter side faced down...

Thats Murphy's Law, Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. It applies to EVERYTHING that can go wrong.

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.

That's called Rule 35.

 

[sheic99]

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

Spoiler: Yes. Yes it can.

Holy shit, That is an epic picture.

 

[Megacherv]

It's stuff like this:-

"Rule 34: If it exists, there is porn for it
Rule 35: If not, it will be made"

EDIT: Crap, didn't refresh the page from yesterday. On another note, There is a Rule 34 RSS feed, titled the same as above. It was recommended to me by Google Reader when all I'm subscribed to is Wiibrew, Zero Punctuation, xkcd, UserFriendly and The Book of Biff

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

Already done in 5 different ways. Rule 34 is like a rabid virus.

Internet Law: "No matter how great and amazing someone seems on the internet, keep in mind that they may be naked IRL at that point in time(for all we know Yahtzee might have been doing all of his reviews whist dressed like Shirley Temple)" -Me
