Next time somebody asks me what "extremely online" means, I'm gonna send them this link.

Conversation pieces have been a thing for centuries at least, and probably forever. Maybe you're the one who should get out more?

did you read the link? it's extremely online language

He was talking about the style of writing.

It's funny, this particular online culture/group/vibe the author is a part of is one I very rarely encounter but do occasionally stumble upon.

It blows my mind to think that for some people, this 'vibe' may be the majority or at least a large part of the online content they consume / online spaces they inhabit.

It makes me wonder how many more foreign to me online cultures there are.

Bronies, sports lovers, 4chan-ers etc

I think it's satire. Maybe?

It’s irony. There’s a difference but difficult to discern sometimes.

You could wear those clothes in a Williamsburg, Brooklyn bar and you’d get smiles and pleasant remarks from those who are with it for example.

I don't think anyone on HN is going to come out of reading that feeling less confused.

I had trouble reading that. Anyone else?
