    One of my favorite 4chan moments was when a high school student posted pictures of all the guns he was going to take in the next morning, and 4chan pulled the exif data from the photos and called the police. When he got off the bus, he was met by several police officers and arrested. He later posted back on 4chan to criticize them for snitching, thinking that they would think his school shooting would be hilarious. 4chan just replied that him get caught and arrested was funnier.

      The beginning of the end was when people started making coupons for something outrageous but still reasonable, like a free controller when you bought a PS3 or Xbox. Then someone made the free PS3 coupon and ended up using it at Walmart successfully.
      That was what brought the whole thing to a halt, but it was fun while it lasted.
      I even made a few of my own for things. I remember making $1 or $2 off coupons for things like shaving cream and razors.

A week after we declared victory in the Persian Gulf War people started showing up to local banks with yellow ribbons, the ones people wear to support the troops, asking for 20 bucks. There was much confusion. Some people actually got their money, other banks thought it must not apply to their location, etc.

      4chan is sometimes toxic, chaotic and plain disgusting. On /pol/ you get idiots demanding someone's head get bashed in and below that you might get a thread with a news report link and a discussion about inconsistencies in the story, comparisons with other news sources from different countries and political viewpoints of the same event, just people trying to figure out the truth of a story. And the next thread is a flat earther trolling everyone.
      4chan isn’t just incels living in mom's basement, though quite a few parts of 4chan are dominated by those. You get people from all countries, social positions and political viewpoints sharing their opinion there.
      I despise /b/ because of all the p*rn there, but seeing all sorts of political views and news on 4chan can really open your eyes to all sorts of alternate viewpoints. I don’t usually share the radical ones, but knowing they exist and what other people think is a step above what most media sources are willing to give people.
      Were you aware of the russian smear campaign against zhelensky the day before the war in ukraine started, when some media reported he was supposedly buying real estate in other countries? It was pure fiction meant to discredit him. I know because of 4chan, because smart people from all over check such news and give feedback, not just hateful shitposters trying to insult someone.
      It is also a reality check for the delusional. Go ahead and post your wildest delusions, there are lots of delusionial idiots on 4chan. People will laugh at you and they will definitely give you that reality check you need.

    2. OP start discussing murder without being caught. Eventually users agreed that crossbow shot from rent car window is ideal. Couple days later there was a news about man killed from crossbow on a driveway. Killer didn't get caught.
    3. My favorite: OP asked advice about robbing electronics store at night. He was advised about mask, leaving cellphone and using plastic bags to get rid of footprints. Later security footage appears on the news of him robbing the store. This idiot forgot pliers to cut security cords, so he was able to stole couple laptops and phones. The best part - he lost his ID at the crime scene and was caught in the couple hours.

    The funny thing about that coupon guy is that while he was caught, stores (at least Target) didn't do anything in their system to prevent these from working. So people still print those off and try to use them and entry-level security (like I used to be) had to tell them no and they'd usually cause a scene. Just another example of corporations saying "we could fix the problem, but that would cost money."

All cheating the system does is put a target on your head without helping anyone but yourself so it's best to actually advocate for workers.

Those losses probably aren’t going to be taken from their profits, or investors would be annoyed and most businesses need those…those losses are probably going to be made up by cutting back on hiring, removing some positions, and hurt real people who needed those jobs.
      30 years ago people used to get light sentences for white collar financial crimes, under the “they didn’t hurt anyone, they aren’t violent” defense, or the “it’s just corporations” excuse, but then Madoff and many other crimes made people remember….of course these crimes hurt people, and collectively, the effect of theft and fraud is pretty significant.

The kind of thing that usually higher thought catches and stops, and that you immediately regret if you actually follow up on the impulse. Like "Cat is allowing me to pet and pick it up, and there's a bin right there. I bet it could get out on its own anyway." Nope.
      That her response wasn't "That was a stupid impulse and I'm horrified to find that the cat was actually trapped for hours," but instead "it was only a cat" shows that she still didn't have a a problem dumping a living thing, someone's pet usually cared for like a pseudo-family member, into a garbage bin that would likely be dumped in a garbage truck and potentially compacted. "It was only a cat" implies a valuation somewhere closer to dumping a neighbor's cheap ugly lawn ornament into the trash.

    I think my favorite part of the coupon portion of this video is when the cited news article talks about how many of the people on 4chan are notorious hackers linked to Anonymous. It shows you just how startlingly oblivious news sites were to image board culture, particularly that of 4chan, lol.

    I remember whole Mary Bale thing when it happened , but , original video was bad and grainy. Someone from London area came to our chat server and posted either a file or link to it , and I was skeptical about whole thing , as it looked like either staged or completely fake video at the time (yes , in 2008/2009 fake videos were a thing) and forgot about it. Until , whole thing started to unfold , and it was clear it's not fake anymore and everyone and everything went mad about it.

    The coupon guy and the bike basher don't really fit the list, they were not idiotic in their actions, they took much care to hide their personalities. Yes, the coupon guy did share the evidence of his guilt online, but he did know to use precautions before doing so, he just slipped up. The bike lock basher is just pure evil and should have got behind the bars for long, but it's hard to call him idiotic - it really took the superhuman abilities of 4chan to track him down.

      It's astonishing how the Bike Lock Basher who was essentially doing the same against his ideological enemies as Peter Sutcliffe in the UK (The Yorkshire Ripper) did too - use a bludgeon on the skull of a victim be it a heavy bike lock or a hammer.
      How did one get locked up for life and the other get a tiny slap on the wrist. Bike Lock Basher was far more prevalent and many victims may not have come forward precisely because they are dead and lazy police and political DA's sweep it under the carpet.
      Any maniac who bludgeons another persons skull, not in self defence, more so creepily from behind should spend life in prison.

    I know it's a cliche to say it at this point, but it's disgusting to live in a world where bank robbers get a minimum of ten years in prison while repeat child molesters and serial rapists maybe get 3 months of probation the 8th time they are caught.
    I would be willing to pay soooo much more money in taxes/insurance to live in a world where everyone gets one free bank robbery attempt. Bonus points if it's televised, and the money for the pay-per-view rights go to public schools like the Florida Lottery.
