Edit: 1 billion lions VS every pokemon is also up there

I'm quite sure the artist is winning that one. He's riling up so many people by just repeating a single phrase.
Like, anyone who thinks he's serious is really not yet fit for the Internet.
It's my favorite argumentative tactic. I've been in a months long debate with youtube losers about whether one of every Pokemon would beat 1,000,000,000 (one billion) lions

The forum post you were referring to.
Even after seeing the enactments, I do feel myself stupider browsing that forum post.
I go out of my way to not reread it because I genuinely feel like I lose an IQ point that I’ll never get back.
Lol, this Josh dude really thinks a week is Sunday-Sunday. So does that mean every Sunday is part of two different weeks?
Oh shit, more people join in. Does the dumb bodybuilder meme have a grain of truth?
Thank you, I should have linked the original as well.
Wow. That's Linus Torvalds levels of screaming, "ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?!"
People got really worked up back in 2008.
The best part is how the OP never admits being wrong and still gets it wrong in the last post before closing the thread
Thank you, I needed that today
Years ago, on IMDb, a poster called rabbitmoon kept a thread going for years on the Rambo board that is still the best I've ever seen.
The whole thing started with him posting that he was shocked when, about a third of the way through the movie, there was a scene in which a character was shot with a bullet from a gun. Then he countered, completely earnestly and deadpan, every response he got.
The original thread is long gone, and the only thing I could find of it is an excerpt that was posted on Reddit - LINK
The IMDB forums should have been protected by UNESCO. I will not elaborate.
It gets better every time
During this film, there is a scene where for a few frames, a person is depicted as having been shot, by a bullet from a gun to the chest.
The sheer amount of people replying to the guy, completely oblivious to sarcasm.
It's a shame it's gone because it went on for much longer than what's in the reddit post.
That was hilarious! I don't have an argument but reading through that reminded me of 2 older forum posts. A little off topic but here:
Haha, bloodninja was a legendary troll.
Invertebrates give me the ick, so I hope you don’t mind me not clicking that one lol.
If you enjoyed that video, many of the creators videos are hilarious.
I highly recommend the one about the highest scoring American football game of all time (it’s over 200).
Any argument from /r/BanVideoGames is fun lol. People don't realize it's satire and it becomes the funniest part of that subreddit 😂
That sounds promising. What are the odds it’s been taken over by “true believers”? That seems to be the fate of any long-running satire on Reddit. TheDonald, most infamously.
There was some Wikipedia article that was subject to a really long and intense conflict over whether it should have an infobox. I don't remember the details, though.
Most of the Wikipedia dramas are fantastic, pedantic and/or ideologically driven people fighting with other pedantic and/or ideologically driven people for pages after pages until some admin just unilaterally picks one side and locks the discussion
Reminder that the multiple governments have been caught mass editing Wikipedia.
I seem to remember the "feces" Wikipedia article made it onto a list of dumbest Wikipedia controversies, because it has endless debate about the authenticity of the poop photo used and whether a different, more realistic poop should take it's place.
Now this is shitposting
Oh my god I was going to post the same thread, but I instead highly recommend the mega64 reenactment of the bodybuilding forum fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqylqmDl0Mw
Well, Hydrogen vs Boost obviously.

(I didn't 'read' it but it's funny)
The one and only Sadam vs Hitler thread
EDIT: wait, oh god, they deleted the actual thread. Tragedy I tell you!
There's a reason it's called "bodybuilding" and not "brainbuilding".
This isn't exactly what you are looking for but it is really fun so I had to share: https://www.tor.com/2011/08/31/wikihistory/
I know it stretches the definition of Internet Argument, but this video never fails to make me laugh:
A little context must go into this one. For three years now, Wix has owned DeviantArt, having acquired it from its original managers. Wix then redesigned DeviantArt to have a more modern functionality, referred to as DeviantArt Eclipse. A part of this functionality is that people on DeviantArt are (supposed to be) notified whenever someone posts a work similar to their own on any website across the internet, even on the dark web, as an originality-based precaution. As a side note, I wouldn't say DeviantArt is doing the best it has ever done, but I wouldn't call it bad, but "pessimist culture" would disagree, and there are those who say the feature I mention is irreputable.
One day, a certain someone signed up for Wix and started putting art on there instead of DeviantArt. It should be noted that you can be banned from DeviantArt but not Wix. It's not usual, but I myself demonstrate this, probably because my "ban" was circumstantial and therefore intentionally made only partial (for this reason, look up my Lemmy username on DeviantArt, I'm not forgotten), but I'm only a second person here as far as Wix is concerned. Someone deep into this "pessimist culture" (I don't know what else to call it) then noticed and made a complaint accusing me of bypassing DeviantArt's detectors using their own parent website and nobody doing anything, even "with the premium service package". I kind of laughed at this, it would be like saying you committed a bank robbery by asking to speak to the manager and then asking him nicely for all the money in the bank. You kind of have to question the ownership at that point. Needless to say the fishiest thing was the accusers.
I started reading your post 14 minutes ago and read 30 seconds every other minute then watched the video (but I didn’t count those minutes) and now I’ve grown chest hair. That was some good reppin
Will have to dig up a link to it, but the Silent Hill foreskin guy is a classic.
