Here's one of my favorites.
Someone asks a question like, "How come there are no purple m&ms?" and the first response goes something like, "How fucking retarded are you? Don't you eat Easter m&ms? Jesus Christ, get out of your parents basement and buy a bag you stupid dumb fuck."
It's like instant hostility. The internet has bred fingertip bravado where people treat each other in ways they wouldn't dream of behaving to each other in real life. Can you imagine walking into Safeway and asking a clerk, "Where's your hot dog relish?" and being answered with, "Jesus Fucking Christ you retard, when's the last time you left your house. Too busy jerking off to porn to notice that the relish is in aisle 4 next to the mayonnaise? Get the fuck out of here, you waste of sperm."
Not only does the internet know too much, but it seems that most of what it knows is angst and anger.
