Think about it. It basically is.

You'd think that if this were true more people would have actually heard of it, and, you know, been there.  I haven't.

Explain what it does exactly that reminds you of a capital.

I think Google would be chosen the capital if we had to name one.

Google is the largest city, not the capital.

4chan produces all the memes and lolcats.

Never even heard of it.

Another stupid question from the same person though.

It pains me that you're actually thinking about this seriously enough to have thought of real-life comparisons.  Roll Eyes

Anyway, you should find that lolcats are produced by ICHC?.  The only thing about them that was inspired by 4chan was the grammatical style of the captions.

I'mma let you finish, but Google has one of the best sites of all time

Google:



4chan:



I mean, 4chan is a pretty cool guy.  He ruins the internet and doesn't afraid of anybody.  (Forced meme is forced)


...

God, do I hate 4chan and its so-called "cultural influence."

Eh... now that I think about it, Google wouldn't be a city.  It's the mythical internet super highway.  It gets you to the large cities like YouTube and Facebook.

Are you referring to caturday? Don't call it lolcats over there.

The social networking sites are like a giant conurbation.

It began with MySpace; a relatively small town which grew into a huge city, and Facebook; a college town just a few miles away.  Gradually, Facebook developed beyond its college campus into a sprawling suburb, which began to suck most of the life out of the neighboring MySpace city.

These days, MySpace is nothing but a scuzzy downtown area populated by pretentious 'scene' kids like BRTD, and various sex offenders.  Facebook is now much larger, with a demographically broad population.  It has even developed a booming criminal underworld, and has recently incorporated a nearby rural village.

There are also signs that Twitter - another growing town in the area - whose population mainly comprises celebrities, politicians, and other mentally handicapped people from the local hospital, may one day overtake Facebook as the largest urban shithole in the Internet World.

Something out of the French Internet Country, supposed to be 'the capital', but not knowing of it, we, French speaking persons, don't recognize it, of course.

Also, with the Internet, people can have several residencies, some in big cities like Facebook and Twitter, while some in villages like some forums or others. Internet just makes the travel between cities/villages very easy, not to say simultaneous. And yes, I like Google being an highway, an highway that provides you a GPS.

4chan is certainly responsible for many of the things people at school say and do. Despite that, nobody there has heard of it. I find that rather amusing.

When speaking of 4chan people usually are referring to the /b/ board. It is a random image board filled with people posting various porn (legal or otherwise), furry porn, dismembered bodies, and racist/sexist humor.  It is basically a juvenile, shock site.    Through all the filth it has spawned many internet phenomena or memes.  A few which are legit. funny and most dreadfully unfunny.

Seems pretty correct considering what the other guys said about it.
