So yeah, aside from being the funniest Penny Arcade comic ever...
What's the stupidest thing anyone has ever said to you on or about the internet?
I remember someone telling me they'd "haxxed" their firewall so they could get AIM to work, in the end I found out they'd just turned it off when later on they asked me how you could turn a firewall back on.
When I used to play Starcraft years ago, I remember every single person threatening me when I won "I'm going to hack your computer!" When they very obviously didn't even know enough about computers to seriously damage my computer if they were sitting at the keyboard.
The stupidest things are the things that have nothing to do with technicalities, but the people themselves that said it...
I guess I should explain. I've heard a lot of stupid and impossible things from people, but the ones that really stick with me are the ones that don't have to do with the Internet themselves, but just things that show the true ignorance of the person that said it — often exaggerating or distorting details of the personal life so that they can impress others or feel better about themselves as if the Internet is their playing ground! It's terrible for them in the end, though, so I try not to worry about it!
I dunno, plenty of stupid things.
I'd love the power to be able to smack people off of the internet though, that'd be awesome, if possible.
Sorry Rye, only Gabe has the power to do that.
The whole "copy paste, DUH!" thing deserves to be in this thread.
The commercial for Sahara hotel and casino says you get access to special offers if you "click on the internet"... o.O

Anyway, it's really hard to say. I've had more unbelievably stupid things said to me on 4chan's random board in the last 2 months alone that I'm truly scared for humanity....more than I already was.
Once someone said they were fgoing to download the internet!Also my mum thretened to divorce dad lfor looling at porn!
Roogle just explained me.
I've received numerous virus threats, but nothing overly serious or amusing.
Some people can be so fickle.
Click here to download the internet!Quote:

Once someone on MSN asked me could they invite me into a conversation with their girlfriend and asked me to tell her she was fat, because this would make her love him even more when he said "I love you for the way you are". When I declined, he was like "omg i gna cum 2 ur ouse n scrw u uuup!1". I was shaking in my tube socks.
I'm gonna make my own MORG (same as MMORPG, unlike MMORPG, you can actually say MORG) where you must beware the system administrators because if you're hacking, they won't just ban you . . . they'll erase you.Quote:

I can also think of a few arguments that I made over games that were groundless and some moments when I overreacted to someone's statement. I go through and delete anything I've done stupidly. I would never deny posting them. But I'd prefer future viewers not behold my stupidity.
I've gotten numerous "I/my dad work(s) for the FBI, I know where you live, I'm coming to get you." and so on. Those are always the dumbest. And my ultimate favorites.
Yeah, I used to get those when I'd go into Yahoo chatrooms and argue with people about how crappy a president Bush is. Priceless.Quote:

Another Girl: Hey Tom!......
Rinse and repeat....
As long as you're getting tail for it, I don't see the problem.
Something along the lines of "You guys just banned me because I'm black."
Hmmm, I was giving someone a flaming for being an eegjit, so they said they were going to 'tell deh feds innit'... I was quite stunned. Unless he meant report me to a mod... But I don't really think he did, because he was as thick as thieves.

I dunno, man, DMKA's one is a bit funnier than your one. There are funnier ones out there, though, I'm sure. I just can't be arsed going through the entire archive of comics looking for them. The one that made me start reading the place everyday was that "Hair!" one.Quote:

The same n00b wrote this as well.
"Maybe becuase im not a little ponce who needs to spend my life putting English language perfect on the internet when it is known that people type short hand"
Just another n00b on a messageboard. :rolleyes2
Like I said, there are funnier ones out there. I'm not sure that's the funniest one either, that one didn't even make me laugh out loud. It's pretty amusing, though, because it reminds me of the conversations that I have with a few certain people.Quote:

Okay apparently this thread is now about your favorite Penny Arcade comics.
I was going to post that one, but I felt that I should leave it for you so you could express well...you.

EDIT: That site made me figure out the meaning of the description for the FFIX forum.
Warning : Mildly offensive to Meek people :

If somebody's around me, I'll shout "Somebody stole the internet!" when I get 404'd.
P.S. It's funny and true.
Edit: Lindy beat me to it. :-/
This is how I learnt about Japan, the internet teaches us so much.

I now know the stupidest thing someone has ever said to me based on the internet. My Dad has this website for his work company that he often goes to since his union is on strike. Anyway, when it's being updated, something odd happens to it, and random letters and symbols are left in place. I was on the computer, then I left it on for my Dad to use it. My Dad sees the websites in it's symbol being updated form and yells at me: "Jessica, why did you break that website?!?!"
i have been asked 'Why do i have a loose tooth?'.......

It's funny if he actually did this.
I prefer VG Cats. I've gotten a few hilarious things over AIM, but I can't remember any specifics.

Edit by Kishi: VG Cats is abominable.
Yeah, that one's pretty close. xDQuote:
