Quake3World

So, I was wondering, must of us have the uncanny ability to spot viral videos, storys and pictures as fake. On the other hand, 90% of the worlds population can't. Why is that you believe? Are people that gullible? Or am I just a gigantic internet nerd?

The more you mess with photoshop, you more you tend to notice things like that, thats why.

I'd say you just have a nose for bullshit. You're a sceptic, mister!

We hang out on a video game forum for a computer game that came out like 10 years ago. That requires a certain amount of nerd-ness that your general public isn't going to have. I think it's simply the type of people we are.

and in more cases much dumber

You caught my ninja edit. All joking aside, I really don't think anyone here comes close to the idiots you see everyday.

I think he just called BitWise dumber.

tell that to goof/scared or mazda or krakus, fuck man the list is endless
@DM, no.

Geoff is just a troll and I don't recall Mazda doing anything exceptionally dumb. Kracus says some dumb shit but at least he is capable of making coherent posts using proper grammar and spelling (I have a feeling he is afflicted with the same kind of lying my friend is. He likes to make up somewhat believable, fantastical stories about shit just to have something interesting to talk about and will provide so many specific details and swear it actually happened.).

So what are you trying to say?

Me or MaCaBr3?

My post is directly after yours. Therefore I'm refering to you.

when you spend enough time looking at stupid shit on the internet you learn to tell the difference between real and fake in the end

for example:

That I believe the majority of our members have more common sense than the average person. Like seremtan said, we spend so much time surfing around the web that we not only have more exposure to fakes but we know the best ways to research an issue. We also know that if you repost a fake you're going to get flamed for being the moron who fell for it. The web is such a large part of our everyday lives that we don't have time to piss around with silly forwards and as a result we have more respect for not wasting other peoples' time with said emails.

Oh.

you command a fairly broad definition of common sense, fwiend.

Oh good, that's actually what I tell friends: they forward me by internet defintion "ancient" and "FAKE!!11" stuff al the time and everytime I reply with "old" or "fake" they either don't believe me or tell me that I spend to much time on the internet. That's true, but that's just because I have nothing else to do at work either. (I work in a Network Operation Center - staring at screens waiting for "something" to happen). So yeah, spending much time on the internets, visiting forums like this one daily, does kinda make you an internet detective in spotting fakes and olds.

If only we were all as good at spotting fake breasts.

oh dear, sounds like someone had a few shocks in bangkok

Hey, who gives a shit about fake knockers? It's the tuck & tape jobs you've gotta watch out for.

Another night at the club go terribly, terribly wrong?

No. I haven't been to Thailand either. I just like natural breasts. Fake ones aren't nearly as much fun. But what do you guys know about breasts? I might as well be talking to a guy who only speaks Urdu.

Big tits. Little tits. Tits that skip and hop.
A happy tit. A sad tit. A tit used as a mop.

- Edgar Allen Poe

I don't mind boob jobs. An ex had her tits downsized, which gave them a better shape but were just as fun to play with. She had some scarring but I'm not that shallow so if your woman needs them just say yes. Fake tits (balloons) are nice because of their shape but for me they seem harder and aren't as much fun.

Fake tits are very rare in Europe, i wouldn't know.
