What do you do on the internet that you would never do in real life?

I try to do the same thing, and some of my real life friends who frequent the Escapist (read: Fayathon) act exactly scarily similar. I always read their posts in their voices, so it kind of makes it work well.retyopy said:
I talk (type) in the same way I talk irl as I do on the internet. The chance I'd talk to you irl is a hell of a lot smaller though.

I think I type in the same way I talk and my personality is no different, but I'm a little more open about my personal life online as I care less if anons know about embarrassing or personal stuff about me than my friends in real life.
Watch people having sex. Honestly surprised that hasn't been said yet...
As far as mannerisms and stuff, I'm pretty much the same. Although I don't often have conversations with people in my underwear off the internet.

I behave the same way on the internet as the way I do when I'm not at work. Requesting rule 34 on my coworkers in about the only way I can actually get fired, oh and saying Tits or GTFO.
Call out jackasses.
Though often, its a matter of where the jackasses themselves would speak. Many such people only talk out on the internet. Those who speak up in real life tend to either be just a bit sad and voice stupid and rude comments because they don't know how to not incur the ire of others.
And then there's the big asshole who is some sort of social or physical threat, and calling them out for their vocal stupidity isn't worth the risk.
I'm also calmer and don't feel the need to speak as much in person. I can use my actions and body language to speak for me, whereas with the internet, one usually has to rely on text to convey everything from presence to intent.

Well, I recently found rogue squadron flash edition, and I'm pretty sure I'll never blow up a planet sized space station that blows up other planets in a small, one man fighter any time soon. There are also siege games, and I'm pretty sure I can't travel back in time and get hired as a siege master, so that's out.
Everyone pretty much does that on the Internet, because there is absolutely no risk whatsoever of them getting their ass kicked for doing so.Erana said:
On Topic:
Watch some porn occasionally. Seriously, who in the Hell would want to watch two (or more) strangers have sex right in front of you? And in case it wasn't obvious enough, that was a rhetorical question.
Eh, I act pretty much the same as I do IRL, I am a bit more polite on the internet though, which is a bit..odd. Other then that though, nothing comes to mind. :/
