Internaut Bushido



There is a code we must abide by at all times. And I don’t mean the ten Internaut commandments. This code is about basic internet surfing etiquette and it has recently been brought to my attention that there are only a few users online who still follow the code. The Internauts aren’t just internet-using kids. We are the future. We are GenZ. We are the internet samurai. And this is our Bushido. 


Note: There is no particular order because all these points are equally important. 
  • If you are going to quote or use art owned by someone, you cannot change their quote or artwork. If you wish to rework / paraphrase, either mention that you have paraphrased or ask the original creator for their permission.
  • Use respectful language and if circumstances need you to be in character, be consistent about it. Sloppy work is unacceptable.
  • Fact check your reposts. Reposting means you vouch for the credibility of the post being reposted. If they lose their credibility, so do you.
  • Be able to back up your own arguments and points. We need thinkers not religious parrots.
  • Emailing large files in an absolute last-last-last-last-resort.
Abide by the code. Honor the Internaut Bushido. It is the only thing that stands between us and a total chaos. Fail to follow the code, and you will be branded a degenerate of the Order of Internauts.

Predicting human behavior

I was reading this book on the extent of the seemingly insignificant nonverbal behaviors influencing the perception of others and I thought it was interesting. I think that subconsciously, people pick up certain behavioral cues, without even knowing about people. This would lead to creating preconceived notions and "I don't know why, but I don't like him/her." Usually it's something small. For example, when you first meet a person and you don't see them smile, you may not think a big deal of it, but later on, the subconscious will hold on to it and you may eventually find yourself thinking of sadness or depression the next time you think of this person. It is said that we cannot be certain of the way that humans behave. I agree in the sense that one may not be able to completely determine the behavior of another in a social setting, but I was wondering if, by being more aware of body language and other nonverbal cues, could we control the cues that we subcon

A Reincarnation Theory

I was wondering upon how different religions have their stands on reincarnation, and if it were possible, how it would work and I reached an almost working theory. Who knows, maybe it's true. I could not find anything on the internet relating to my idea, so I wanted to post it here to hear your thoughts on it and if you may know of a similar theory that some human in the history of humanity probably already came up with:  Okay, sothis theory can also work to explain the “deja-vu” and definitions as well as explanations for time. However, it doesn’t solve the birth to death rate ratio problems.  Time flows in blocks. Each event in the block is cyclic. For example, if I die, I can be reborn as someone else, and all the life events can happen in the same way. Maybe, sometimes, decisions could be different, leading to different results, but the main events would be the same. Each time a person dies, their soul would be transferred to another body and the rotation will continue with eac

Learn something new everyday #1

Today I learned about Wolfgang Engels. He is  a former East German soldier. In late April 1963, the man stole a military tank from his base while the crew was at lunch and drove it right through the Berlin wall to escape from East Berlin to West Berlin. The East Berlin populace was so used to seeing tanks out on the streets that they actually stopped traffic to let the guy pass. The tank got stuck halfway through the wall and he got out, under heavy fire and successfully made the escape. He got his freedom, but his mother (a devout communist) disowned him. He became a biology teacher, retired and now works as a Docent at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The badassery of it. The sheer idea that "Tank. Wall. Let's do it" and then actually doing it. Damn. There were other folks who beat the Berlin wall as well.  In May 1963, Austrian Heinz Meixner drove a convertible right under the checkpoint gate. He realized the car is just short enough to make it, so he removed th
