why do people type slightly differently now?

Sure, the Internet has changed a lot, but why do people type slightly differently now? how is "boomerposting" even a tangible concept?

>i was very close to doing the exact same thing last saturday. i drove past work and made it to the next state. then i remember i had to make the last payment on my moped and turned back...
>I work at a bar. Last time I worked, I saw a guy running down the street screaming "FUCK YOU. IIIIIII WIIIIIILIL HURT YOOOOUUUUU." And then I realised that he was chasing a car. Lol.
>Even when there's nothing to do, I just shoot the shit with my co-workers who are generally cool dudes. I have two main managers. One of them I like because he's very firm when he tells you to do something but he's always willing to help you if you need it. My other manager tries to come off as nice, but most of the time he just laughs at your ignorance when you don't know something because he's some big hotshot.

versus:

>Like don't fuck your coworkers over if you can avoid it. But its good to have an idea of just how shitty things can be. And one way is to hit such a hard breaking point that you tell the HR reptilian charge to kill itself.
>Yeah, when I worked at target I just went to lunch one day and never went back and then they called me for 2 weeks straight and kept asking if I'm coming in lol. Like nigger take a hint, I'm not.

I can't seem to find people who post with this alternative kind of prose except on forums primarily inhabited by boomers:

>I've eaten it at places famous for it in TX, LA, OK and others. Also cooked it at home hoping for better...same old meat. Starting to think I just don't like the flavor of the cut. A mediocre pork shoulder tastes better than the best brisket I've had. Obviously it's a personal quirk because most folks love it.
>My money goes on pork. Pork fat...delicious. Beef fat...ok but it's not Pork. Reminds me to pack the lard. Don't leave home without it. Ribeye vs pork steak ...that changes everything.

I need to understand this more.


This old dog still has some fight in em! Talking about my wife, heh. I’m done for! :grin:

Heh, I recognize that signature anywhere… good to see you back on the forum Rob!

I got reeally nice Invicta pro diver from amason for 80$ it really is a steal no 38 mm that's a women's size lol, 43mm is way to go. Automatic all the way because quartz is not a watch though lume is not as good as my marathon lol. What do you think guys?


Oh cheer up friend, I just wanted to let you know that despite how much you may bring arguments and despair to our thread, I just wanted to wish you a happy new year. I'm not sure what I'll make my new year's resolution but it probably won't be to lose weight, amirite? Ha-ha! ^:)

^^ These are modern attempts at mimicking "boomer posting"


/b/ from early 2000s:


I don't work in fast food, but I find myself going to get the occasional burger or something at 3 or 4 AM, the result of being an insomniac. I think it honestly takes a lot of patience to work in the food industry and not get fired. Every time I get to the place there's always some crowd of stoners, so I try my best to be as normal and as cordial as I can be, which turns out into a more casual version of when I eat at fine dining restaurants. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I have a lot of respect for the people who work in food.


I HATE seniors. I work cashier at a hardware store and one time this geezer insisted I return all the items he just bought and redo the whole thing for his fucking senior dicount all so he could save a grand total of 80 cents.

I worked for Papa Murphy's for five days.I never washed my hands, never wore their hat to keep back the hair, didn't wash the utensils/machinery well enough and I stole many a soda and pizza.

```
Working fast food has taught me that some stereotypes are true.

Black people always order Sprite, Hi-C, or sweet tea.

Black people seem to pronounce "meal" as "mill".

Dumb fucking soccer moms always leave a syllable out of the word "hamburger", saying "hamb'ger".

People ask stupid shit like "What's on sale?" or "Whadda-ya-got?" when there are gigantic promotional posters right next to the menu that nobody seems to read.

People are vague, asking for "Just a reg'ler hamb'ger", then complain about how much they are charged.

People ask for balls of ketchup packets equal to the diameter of a baseball.

Old people... Ugh, enough said. I hate it when they ask for shit that the store doesn't sell. I have old people ask "So, how much are yer shrimp baskets here? How about your sundae's? Or yer Senior Cokes?" Peh, Senior Cokes... Like that fact that they've been plaguing the Earth for a long time entitles them to free shit.
```



````

I agree with anon, it really isn't that bad..especially with golden moments like when I was working at KFC. One customer was fighting with me about the type of chicken I had given him...he wanted all chicken breasts and was insisting that the ones I had given him weren't chicken breasts (even if they were, the 'tard.). Anyways, I got pretty worked up and almost lost it and kicked his ass, but my manager pulled me over to the office..

"Bring the chicken. THROW THAT SHIT ON THE FLOOR!!"
chicken breast kicking proceeded.

I was so happy to give that customer that chicken afterwards :-D
```


```

I work at an amusement park, in merchandise. Pretty easy shit I guess, everyone but the very high-ups are just working summer jobs while in college/high school so you get to fuck around a good bit.

Only really shit part is when the park has been closed for half an hour and we are mopping or stocking or some shit and some dumb ass comes in and yells about how all the stores are closed and he cant get his fat ass kid some french fries.

```


```

I worked at a pizza hut as the guy who takes out the pizzas and shit and boxes it all, was a retardly easy job and all I had to do was stand by the oven and cut pizzas while talking to the 5 other guys who were doing shit.

Retail on the other hand, was absolute hell. I worked at a large department store in the 'young mens' department which was basically for skinny people and teens and happened to be right next to the mall entrance. After 6 months of that place, I snapped and drove around the country for 4 months without telling anyone where I went. That was for the best.

```


```

i used to work a cash register at a grocery store. some lady gets pissed because her debit card won't work or some shit. of course this is because we are trying to take he money or some shit. as she walks out she shouts "YOU AREN'T SORRY AND YOU AREN'T CHRISTIAN!" this is life in north carolina. everyone is rude and everyone is better than you because they are a christian and you aren't.

```

```

Good friend of mine had to get a CUP OF SHIT outta there once. seriously, kid sit himself, put it in a cup, left it in the playplace. Thats my fuckin job now. My kids aint ever goin in one of those things, they get cleaned once a fuckin year by a hazmat team

```

```
I do however love the customers ( you can hear they're fat by their heavy breathing and strained voices through the PA.) who buy a Large Dbl Qrt Pounder meal with extra Mayo and bacon. another dbl cheese burger along side of it...and a LARGE DIET coke...really gonna help you fat ass...

```

```
I myself work in retail, and I want to strangle everyone that comes in. maybe 2 or 3 regulars that I can say "hi, how's it goin'?" and have a decent, albeit smalltalk, conversation with. Everyone else is a stupid fuckin' spic that HAS to bring all 7 kids shopping, which results in "MAMI, YO QUIERO CHOCOLATE!" and an inevitable bitchfest.

Then the pieces of shit who buy a pack of gum to break their $100 bill.
```




Now, modern excerpts, random posts taken from modern 4chan:


whn you water borde ppl under sensory deprivation for months and they say they experienced psychological states difficult to put into words, they are LYING and they are DOING IT FOR ATTENTION, IGNORE


```
The results it showed me were not at all correct to me, no clue how inference is being done though.

Also what's up with this chick. You all can't deal with a little disfigurement?
```

```
Randomly started lagging and fucking up halfway but anyway is this shit yellow fever propaganda? All the other chicks looked mid then you have some cute asians. I don't like asians much but they looked way better than most of the others
```

```
I factored in assumed lifestyle to my choices. The one who looks like a model probably has a bunch of literal faggot friends and I would never want to share her social life therefore I am not interested in dating her.
```

```
my taste in women was extremely reddit. I saved this one because it was the least attractive one I was willing to date other than the old lady.
```

```
I don't get it. Is the second girl implying that developing a hobby for trains will solve your depression problems and make you happy or that committing suicide by jumping into a moving train will act as an anti-depressant because you will die and no longer feel depressed?
```
```
es. yes she is.
everyone loves trains for many reasons, a big reason being they are the jeets natural predator and seeing those train vs jeet videos is better than any anti-depressant ever created.
```

```
"ylyl" title just attracts bots and fail so i dunno what to call this thread really.
just post funny stuff. pls?
>you first
i'll try. here, have a bunch of jewish nonsense which still makes me laugh 20+ years later.
```

```
Nobody ever actually uses those. They're just there to sell the image that the workplace is fun and inviting and modern and all that nonsense. Like gaming consoles and beanbags in the break room.
```

```
My workplaces is like 80% girls. Mostly chinese. Everyone in the office is smart and extremely nice. Like 90% of the day everyone is dead silent working at their computers. You just need to go to academia or somewhere all the stacey types got filtered out before they could apply
```
```
seeing this kind of pristine office worker lifestyle always gives me a heart attack
life sucks and i feel like i've missed the bus to adult daycare
```
```
every single thing that guy ingests is fucking disgusting
```
```
oh nooooooooo, my air conditioned work place only has three coffee machines and cant horribly maim or kill me, jeez louise theres so much room in this parking garage that my employer pays for and th walk is so far, and dont get me started on those herman miller chairs i get to sit in any time i want - i might just stay in it at the end of the day cause im sooooooooooo tired from being air conditioned and well fed and clean and enjoying a quiet workplace with nice views and socially well adjusted people...
```
```
This basically translates to
>I have a high paying job, I'm not overworked and can 9-5 exactly with no extra bullshit, I live near the my job and can easily take the break home, I'm not stressed and can continue a lot of activities past my job instead of just sleeping or resting

But the comments on the video will make you think you're seeing a footage of the guy losing his entire family or something
```

```
When is the last time you had no jobs for 1.5 years and lived in the streets after going through all the savings you accumulated in the past decade?
To answer your question, about a year ago when my knee got opened straight to the bone.
```
```
how inept are you where you burn through a decade of savings in a year and a half? lol.
```

```
I joined a discord server once for some tech support questions and the responses I got were full of snark and eventually I got timed out for answering some questions from other people because unbeknownst to me their questions were in the wrong channel or something.
If I had a question I'd ask chatgpt and if it couldn't give me an answer I'd give up. People are very unhelpful nowadays.
```

```
Why is the average IRC experience like this? I never have these kinds of issues in discords.
>hurr durr eternal september lurk more
Okay so you want to gatekeep but then don't fucking invite people into your shitty inactive IRC under false pretenses.

They've improved quite a bit. I don't think you know what you're talking about. You sound like a low IQ redditor who cries about AI. Faggot.

This is from one thread:

```

Work at Arbys and this jerk comes by every day for the Smokehouse Brisket and complained that we messed up the sandwich with too much sauce. It's all the same, man. But manager yells at me and threatens to cut my hours. So I blow my nose every time I know that asshole comes for his Smokehouse Snot sandwich. He hasn't complained since, my shit is tasty.

```
```
I work at a major home improvement retailer. I initially intended it to be temporary, but it has been 2.5 years. That is until this previous Saturday when I got sick of one of the managers and told him to fuck off. He backed down quick, but I should get another job before his nuts grow back.
```
```
ITT: why i hate McDonald's
I hate it when customers pull up to the screen and start yelling HULLLO! to get my attention. It's not enough I'm washing dishes and am up to my elbows in grease and that i have an annoying beeper going off in my ear...
```
```
id rather blow my fucking brains out with a shotgun than work in a fast food place but i salute you brave deep fried burger warriors for your valiant efforts to make ends meet.
```
```
ITT: I hate assholes who come 5 min before close when everything is cleaned and broken down and place a large ($10+) order. That's downright homosexual of them.
On a higher note of my evening, this fucking *gorgeous* blond parked 5 ft away from D-T and kept having to get out of the car (wearing a dress, no underwear, and uncrossing her legs very deliberately) ... and on an even better note i'm getting a raise for not being a fuckup like everyone else. lol.
```
```
fast-food workers are the lowest of the low. even the janitor has better career aspects than a fucking burger flipper
```
```
Fucking right

North Carolina blows

And OP is right, if you aren't christian here, everyone else thinks they're better than you

Too bad I still fuck with their food >=)

A young /b/tard needs advice.

My parents are going to kick me out if i don't have a job soon. I recently turned 18.

What kind of place would be good for me. I am NOT friendly but not a dick either. I seem kind of spaced out. Not a social butterfly i guess.

I was considering the military but i don't know.
```
Now lets go on /r9k/ in 2026.. and search for "kick me out"

```txt
I was forced to get a shitty fast food job because my parents were threatening to kick me out and I fucking hate it so much. Whenever I get home I'm completely drained from keeping the normie mask on all day.
```
```
I wish I could be a neet but my parents will kick me out and I'm not a nigger shitskin to get gibs
```
```
I'm currently neeting off my poor family and everyday I get yelled at and called a bum. I'm afraid everyday that they'll just kick me out for no reasoning I'll end up homeless. Atleast my mommy byuys me vidya and I don't feel bad about it but my sibling make fun of me and call me pathetic
```

```
My mom's having a meltdown again, threatening to call the police to kick me out, changing the door lock so I can't enter, blocking my devices from the internet. This might pass in a day if I remain stubborn and appease her ego but it's still stressful.
```
```
Parents are pressuring me to move out soon and idk what I'm going to do. I don't got any money saved up and I'm not on neetbux yet but I could probably try and get on it soon, I'll be paid around 1 grand every fortnight but idk if thats enough money to live on by myself. how do you guys do it? are you just really cheap and never spend any of your neetbux or are you just being paid lots? I wish my parents weren't gonna kick me out but they really don't like me sleeping in till midday and staying in my room all day. i think if i move out im gonna become homeless really soon...
```
```
So how do I get neetbux if my parents are gonna kick me out when I finish uni? It's serious bros I ain't getting a job this shit is satanic
```
```
right now im a neet for the last 3 weeks and i feel rlly guilty about that because my parents push me to get a job again but im so autistic i want to kill myself when i work and become heavily depressed. the whole procces of apllication and work is made for NT it makes me want to kill myself but i also want to be respected and indipendent but applying for and having a job makes it so my brain has too deal with that at all times.

also i dont have a lotta experience or good education and all jobs just seem like bullshit. i tried construction already and that also isnt for autists.

i dont know what to do, if i try to live off benefits my parents will kick me out because im ..perfectly able to work.. and that ..everyone needs to work anon nobody gets things for free.. and that its ..healthy for me..

idk what to do, are there even jobs for autists like me? i dont know what to do with my life and everyone seems to already have it figuered out. i dont have a drivers license for the same reason i dont go back to school, and that is because i cant study its almost impossible for me to sit down like that for even 30 mins. also drivers license is very expensive

so am i just tooo retarded to live life?
```
```
Kinda sad that I am an autistic retard low iq neet so when my parents kick me out nobody will know I am homeless since I have nobody and the one I had recently left me
```

```
Same. I want to rape men and eat babies and shit in people's food but snowflakes will call me a chud and kick me out of the group
```
^lolwut?



I think this is a prime example of what I am observing:

```txt
The fact that the supposedly distilled China models have reached parity with the best US models makes me think that the tech is exactly the same and they've just scaled up the size of the frontier models
```
Words words and words. It is simply words that happen to be arranged in a particular manner. There is no recognizable heart or soul that comes from this post.

Older excerpt:

It just seems like the best product (performance + motherboard options) from about $100-200 which is about what I like to spend on a processor. It's snough to keep me out of the bargain bin of Sempron-style shit, and not so much that my total cost goes past $1k

you don't need more than 2 gigs of ram for any game unless you're running vista (which is a mistake already). you don't need anything more than a dual core. and you can get away with a good video card at around 100-150.

-- Some 2008 posts that line up similarly with the modern AI post:
```txt
nVidia is consistently better than ATI in performance, historically, but they also price gouge the fuck out of everything. $900 for an 8800 Ultra? Fuck you, cocksuckers.
```
```txt
Fair enough. Competition is pretty important to keeping prices down overall. I see where you're going with that.
```
```txt

I think he meant company wise.

AMD hates Nvidia for obvious reasons. Intel hates Nvidia because Nvidia is trying to kill Intel's market and vise versa
```
```txt

Before and during until Core 2 was released. Intel was still selling $1000 processors that were beaten by a $200-$300 AMD. At least AMD dropped prices like fuck to stay competitive when they were / are losing.
```
```txt
Yeah, but both sides had their $1000 processors. Intel's 3.2EE versus AMD's FX51, Intel's dual-core XE965 versus AMD's Dual-core FX60. That's how it was up until recently when AMD decided not to bother for whatever reason. What we're talking about is Intel charging $1500 for their high-end processor and $300 for their "pretty good" ones, which happened until the Barton XP's came out and then the Athlon 64 made its debut.

here's a google deepmind paper about just one of the things:

Specifically section 8 on page 30 if you want the quick and dirty.

3 years is a hell of a lot of time in this technology. 3 years ago it was all dogshit only good for ERP
```

Something is different about the way these people write.




4chan has the same exact environment, interface, and rules it did in the 2000s, so it SHOULD'VE been able to RESIST
that kind of rot or shift, unlike the rest of the Internet.
Why is the prose significantly different? It feels more "soulless" or "flat", in a way.
This is an issue that impacts the majority of the public-facing web. All of the posts sound too abstracted. I can't associate it with a human voice.
