I feel as though I need to explain my fascination with the internet a bit more clearly. I do not like NFTs, I do not like cryptocurrency, and I do like lolcows. When I'm talking about internet weirdness, I am not interested in the "dark" or "disturbing" parts. All that gross stuff is like the novelty of getting tear gassed. It really sucks to experience, you can't ever fully get it out of your eyes, and people only go through willingly to show how tough they are. It is all pathetic bravado. I don't care how intense or edgy you are. Shut up and go take a salt bath. Primo internet weirdness is comfortably ludicrous, decidedly silly, inadvertently absurd. The keys to a perfect weird website are as follows: someone is stringing together sentences that have never in the history of the Earth been thought of, let alone written down; they are writing with the supreme confidence that they are making crystalline sense; they are making sense but only in their own specific context, you cannot possibly understand how they entered into this train of though; the website must be ugly and beautiful; and, it must be deadly serious. I hope this will make your experience in the archives make even a little bit more sense. If not, don't worry. We can't all be the crazy ones.
