Quality over quantity

For a supposedly smart board the humor is terrible.

>>5245840

Literature doesn't lend itself that well to memetic type humour.

>>5245840
/lit/ is one of the dumbest boards except for a few people.

If you're reading this you probably aren't one of those people.

>>5245856

Kate Beaton manage to do it; why can't you?

>>5245887

Dunno about dumb but the constant edginess and insecurity is even more blatant than on the other boards.

>>5245887

>/lit/ is one of the dumbest boards

if you're going to bait at least commit to it kid

>>5245678
Never, ever post that picture again. That's below facebook-quality

Where's the funny?

>>5245899

>Kate Beaton manage to do it; why can't you?

Well of course one person reading a book is going to be in a better position to riff on it than a group of people who have and haven't read it. Plus she devotes huge amounts of time to that one task alone, trying to actually make a career out of it.

/lit/ is obviously lacking in good memes, but that was a poor comparison.

Can we please never try to be funny again?

>>5245887
Nah m8, the shitflinging and passive aggressive comments tend to be much more entertaining on /lit/.

Anyways, I'll post what I have

>>5245998

>>5245896
I feel sad for whoever made this.

>>5246046

This made me laugh, because I live a sad, sad life.

Goddamn, reddit can't handle people challenging them in any way can they?

>>5246297
No.

>>5246297

Absolutely not. As shitty as 4chan can be, the level of compulsive contrarianism there is so fucking disgusting. Nothing factual can be said without some caveat or technicality added. There's this pic of a fat neckbeard saying "Actually..." and imo it is the most accurate reddit representation I've ever seen.

>>5246118
We understood that, it just isn't funny

>>5246341
The worst is the pun-chains or when people explain someone's joke/obvious point again for upvotes.

Underrated post

Not even funny-bad

>>5246149
why would you think this is funny?

I mean, with my damn therapist I never said a word about rants. I never even said what I was thinking. Half the time i just nodded my head.
I’m pretty sure I feel like ranting all night to you, but I know i can’t since you are already in bed, sleeping.
I mean yes, you could have snuck over to my house tonight, well technically morning, and we could have just laid in my basement and talked about all of this. Instead, I guess I’ll be alone, again.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful for the times we get to spend together. It’s just either my dad has his head up our asses and listens to our voice boxes or.. Well that’s it. No privacy for my words.

AND OH MY GOD, don’t even get me started on this whole new “jealousy” feeling. I never knew I’d feel it until now.
All of these girls on your dick makes me uncomfortable and i’m not really sure how to stop it. I mean, yeah, I talk to lots of guys and UGH this is why I don’t like relationships because there is always, always, jealousy.
I guess I’m just tired of my life. I mean of course I want to end it, a lot of times. My whole closet is filled of writing of me about how I wanted to end it all.
“You’re so fucking stupid! I’m calling the police and deactivating your phone!”
The night went on and she called me a fucking attention seeker and I’m pretty sure my brother called me insane, so the night went on with yelling and me wanting to die (how original) so i talked to my dad but he chose my moms side so yeah.

>>5245840
You mean pretentious

i’ve always been indecisive about “change.” i used to say we always changed all the time, but now i say that we don’t change a bit.
its different and weird and funky and it smells like dirty pizza in my room. i hanged up that scarf or bandana of flowers on it on my wall, so whenever i feel mad i can tear it down and hold it in my arms.
my mom washed my sweater you gave me and i hate it now because it doesn’t have your smell and it makes me mad that ive been diagnosed with all these fucking disorders.
mood disorder, anxiety, social anxiety, possible bi-polar disorder, severe clinical depression. one more disorder and im sure ill cut my hair off again.

and im sure if i said to my friends, “Hey, we don’t talk that much.” they’d blame me and say I’M the one not talking to them, which is 100% true.
my family oh god my family, my mom got drunk last night and complained about a single picture that my dad uploaded of him and my mom, and it got lots of likes and shit, and my Mom was drunk and screaming at me about how much she hated the picture.
The next day, boom, picture deleted, due to her demand.
I know my parents are finally divorced but I wish they’d pay just a little bit more attention to me. I mean, I am the youngest, and you’d expect lots and lots of attention, which I do get from them, but now, it seems like things are slowly falling out of my hands.
My parents are more focused on bills and child support.

Posting the classic that started it all.

hey buddy
fuck off

I mean yes, you could have snuck over to my house tonight, well technically morning, and we could have just laid in my basement and talked about all of this. Instead, I guess I’ll be alone, again.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful for the times we get to spend together. It’s just either my dad has his head up our asses and listens to our voice boxes or.. Well that’s it. No privacy for my words.
I don’t want to talk about how my parents divorce affects me more than they think when he’s right there. Now that, that would be awkward.

Pretend I've posted everything in this thread
>>/lit/thread/S5039593

Just in case i ever need to, i have a suicide video locked in my computer, a goodbye to my friends, family, teachers.
I mean, I don’t know. I’m pretty sure this mood could have been avoided if I just talked to someone. And I do have a lot of friends, but instead I guess I write it down for all of you to see, but I doubt any of you read it, only my locals.
So i guess this is it. A shitty rant about nothing and im basically a white girl that shouldnt be complaining and should be very happy with the life shes living.
Yeah, I need to go back to a mental hospital. Soon.

>>5246509
One of my favourites

im so angry.
pissed off, in fact.
how come when you put so much trust into someone and you say all these things it just doesn’t work?
he texts me saying that “i care” but honestly boys are stupid
i got 100% on my english entries about how i wrote about my anger and how i made my own teacher cry
why oh why
what what what

what do i need to do to be a perfect girl? a perfect adult? i dont know whats wrong with me, firstly its either me yelling at my mother or just me being a complete asshole to all of my friends

Im tired of having a bf that says all these things but from other people im hearing different things and its just tiring

i need a drink

and some blades

and some cigarettes

i need to calm down, now.

>>5246272
/lit/ was just as butthurt. Stupid platitudes aside, the guy is a prick, from his facial expression to his music post delightfully turned into copypasta.

>>5245856
/lit...

/lit/ had a hard life...

SO IM GETTING DRUGS TODAY AND IM NOT REALLY SURE HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT BECAUSE GUESS WHAT MAJOR PLOT TWIST WERE BUYING THE DRUGS FROM MY EX BOYFRIEND THAT ABSOLUTELY HATES ME LIKE HE WOULD ACTUALLY KILL ME YOU KNOW IF I DIE THEN TELL MY MAMA MY CIGARETTES ARE UNDER THE POOL TABLE LORDY I DONT WANNA DIE

>>5246519
If this isn't copypasta then

Ur a fagoot sun

Implying I let you slip is kind of idiotic don’t cha think. I let you slip? I guess I let everyone in my whole entire fucking life slip then. Like my Uncle, Julia, Kimberly, Tyler. I am trying as hard as I fucking can to fucking change but no everyone just thinks I’m not trying - sometimes I EVEN think I’m not trying but guess what I know I am I just know I am trying my hardest to change and not be so fucking stupid and get over the boy who left so many scars and I’m trying to stop drinking so much when I’m alone and I’m trying to stop smoking but it’s hard because every cig I find I freak out and can taste the nicotine kiss and I don’t know. I’m trying to be a better person, a better writer, a better me. But it’s so hard. I think I need to be alone for a while. More like forever.

So, I walked into a bar. "Ouch," I said. "Who put a fucking steel bar here? Right in the hallway!"

So today I wanted to have Mitchell over so we could snuggle and stuff but i remembered i was going to go get high. I walked for i dont even know for how long with Breanna, and it was all fun when we got to Kaylees, but then when i found out we were buying from my ex i was a bit anxious but whatever. We met up with him and he already told me to stop acting stupid and mentioned something about my sex life which got me majorly pissed and i said in my head , “one more thing and im leaving.” and then he said “Will you be my doctor?” (i did this really nice thing for my boyfriend since hes obsessed with doctor who which involved me in a tardis dress and a tardis nightlight and i proposed to him saying “will you be my doctor.”) so i just shook my head and smiled and said, “i cant” and started to walk.

my friends asked me where i was going, i said "i cant." how fucking dare he say something and make fun of me like that . and now i bet theyre still laughing and saying how stupid i am and stuff. and the bad part is i gave three of my cigs to david so he would shut up but he didnt and i gave them all the money i had so we could do the deal. so i left, and it was a pain. the walk home was torture, i had a sweater on but realized i had a vest under it so i took my sweater off but it was still hot. and then the entire way there i just couldnt think straight and i picked a flower for my mom and when she opened the door for me to come in i said, “hi, i had a horrible day, have a flower.” she smiled and hugged me and i was about to cry because of how fucking stupid my “friends” are and my boyfriend. i dont know i wish people would care for me or better yet be my friend.

>>5246548
you sound canadian to me

Let’s start off with my friends, my beloved friends. I’ve had lots of friends come and go, and it’s not a surprise, either they grew to popular for me, or I grew to popular for them, or even maybe they just treated me wrong, or I treated them wrong. It’s never a reasonable answer, though. But my current friends, whom shall be nameless, although if they are reading this then whatever, are currently known as the term potheads, which I think is darn right erroneous. I mean, sure they smoke enough but not as many times as the kids at my school. I smoke every once in a while but that doesn’t mean I’m a pothead. But my mom, my mom is so convinced of getting me new friends, just like today she pushed me to hang out with my two other friends which was pretty fun but awkward, and she was so pleased. So, so, so pleased. She wants me to go to a better direction, but clearly I know, that my current friends aren’t the best in the pack, but they are my best friends. Not lots of people like them, Hell, I’m not even sure I like them. But that’s my own problem to resolve.

Anyone have a screenshot of the Tao Lin's wiki page after one of you fine /lit/izens got through with it?

And why, pray tell, am I a "prick" for following in the footsteps of the Finest Reader ever to have lived? I speak of course of a certain Man of Proper Literature--a Falstaffian man.

I suppose I am a "prick" insofar as I have successfully Pierced Through the superficial culture and intellectual holocaust around us of electronic telephones, moving pictures masquerading as art, and cheesed burgers.

Like the child who grips the rose upon seeing its beauty, so too have others devoured my Words seeing their innate Truth only to find them utterly applicable to themselves and thus quite sharp and painful. The child pulls back his hand upon grabbing the rose, declares "Ow", and recognizes his mistake. The Youths of the internet, however, upon seeing my work say "Ow" only on a subconscious level and then proceed to make vitriolic references with regards to my shaving habits and choices of hatwear--as though my hair could be contained in something so ghastly. They do not recognize that the source of Anguish is merely the recognition that they are living Intellectually Inferior lives with the Apex of their Literary Lives going no further than Jerry Potter. Lem? Shakespeare? Cervantes? Completely Unknown to them.

I suppose Cervantes is the most relevant of the Greats in this particular example. They called Quixote mad, yet Astute readers know better. They called Ignatius J. Reilly a fool, yet Mindful readers see that the humor is not in his supposed antics but merely in the Absurdity of those around him failing to recognize his True Genius. I can only hope, in my case, that I am not surrounded by such a confederacy--especially in a place which claims value Proper Literature.

Gentlemen, I bid you a due.
