If anyone doesn't know, Mr. Lashua died peacefully in his home in 2013. He died a hero and a legend who touched the hearts of many. R.I.P William J Lashua Sep 4 1920 - May 23 2013.

Hey, don't do Reddit dirty like that! Don't you remember how they tracked down a suspect after the Boston Marathon Bombing? Granted, they got the wrong one and it lead to an innocent guy being sent death threats, but they tracked him down nonetheless!

I shall serve as Mediator, the one in charge of effectively making sure the leaders dont kill each other and to finalize the motions carried out on the floor.
One of my favorite 4chan stories is when they manipulated an online contest for Taylor Swift. Whichever school had the most votes got a concert at their school. A school for the deaf wonthe contest.
My favorite has to be when they forged an online poll to send Pitbull to a Wal Mart in Alaska and the guy actually went and performed for the locals, he was greeted by a native tribe and basically had a meet and greet with the whole town. Completely changed my opinion on the man lmao
Honestly his death doesnt sadden me too too much. He made it to 93! Thats so impressive when you remember what he lived through. And his life sounded very fulfilling, and he was loved even to the end. What a great life and a great guy. I hope he and his wife are happy and together wherever they are. 💖
"Those who don't live enough to become old, must pay with their life" That's what my grandfather used to say as a recurrent joke. Cheers to those people who live their life till the end, may their soul rest in peace.
WW2 vets, most of them, are amazing human beings. Something kinda similar happened in the UK with air captain tom moore. His little fundraiser to donate to NHS workers during the pandemic blew up online and he raised millions. He was nighted and the countries sweetheart in the final months of his life.

A wholesome moment from 4chan is like finding gold in the middle of the Siberian tundra. Unlikely to happen, but there's still a small possibility of it occurring.
Spent some time when I was younger with my Grandmother. She ran the care home in a city in South Wales and whenever I went to stay over hers I'd stay in her apartment in the complex itself. Spent many mornings chatting to folks over cups of tea and biscuits, made an effort to get to know the folks living their final days there. These visits happened maybe 3 times a year at most. One of the Residents was a fellow named Arnold. Arnold had been there since I was a glint in my father's eye and when I was old enough to start understanding history, I got to know him. Arnold was a veteran of the second World War and had served in a company comprised of several Welsh soldiers, and had served in Africa, and Europe, earning many medals for his service. As we drank tea and ate biscuits the man discussed all kinds of things, his thoughts on the world around him and how grateful he was to have seen it, his faith and beliefs. When I got older he took me to his room at the complex and told me about his medals. Each one he could name and place, and he described HIS war to me as he had seen it. I spent maybe 7 hours in that room talking with the man and for all the world I wish I'd had a hundred more to talk with him, but eventually my grandmother found me and scolded for pestering the residents. Arnold smoothed it all over, and bade me farewell, giving me a coat he'd owned that I was too small for. He said "You'll grow into it" Well, I did, that year I finished primary school and moved onto secondary school, and when I next visited, Arnold had gone. Not sure why this video brings this memory to my mind so strongly. Maybe its the lack of sleep or the hour of the night, but I'm glad 4chan and reddit took the time to send this old soldier some cards. Im glad someone made a TH-cam video about it too. A brilliant story. Im glad I got to speak to people like Arnold, before he and those like him passed away.
Honestly I think if kids these days and even young adults spent more time talking to people like Arnold we would be in a better place. There is so much tribalism and fighting online over things some of these older folks dealt with in person and I feel we have a disconnect from that. Also I’m sure Arnold was really happy to have a friend to chat with, I know in many homes just being able to share some life experiences and story is a lot better than living out the years forgotten in a sense. Thank you for sharing this, even if it’s not detail rich Arnold leaves a legacy that’s not forgotten, and you play a role in that.
@@joshsandford2264 I sure hope I did. Its such a distant memory now. The timing is confused among a whole lot of growing up, but writing from 2021, I can still picture the evening clear as day. I still wear that old coat, its kept me warm on cold days and brought me a lot of happiness. In some small way, Arnold never really left did he? So long as the jacket and the memory are alive, I'll carry him with me. To horrifically paraphrase "Cities of the Plain" - Cormac Mcarthy" Arnold was that man, who is all men, who stands on the Dock for me. I heard his story. I loved that man, and when the time comes, I will take his place, and when I do, i hope I'll have my own stories to tell.
One of my grandparents fought for the.l British army in a group of Irish infantry and another fought as a field medic in the Wehrmacht. After the war they became close friends and I really loved hearing their stories in the end we are all humans the only difference is which country they happened to be in
I didn't know Mr. Lashua at all hell I didn't even know he existed at all before I watched this video, but still when I heard he died it made sheet tears. R.I.P William J. Lashua you will be missed not only by the locals of the town, but also by the internet and I wish his family good luck.
this warms my heart to the max !! imagine your NINETIETH BIRTHDAY PARTY going down in internet history. what a legend. WWII veteran, foster parent, and also the subject of the most important birthday in the history of the internet. this brings me to tears 😭😭
@@sugarqcoat you're clearly not going by results, but reputation. in terms of results Twitter does much more harm to singular people targeted, as well as the people using twitter by trying their dopamine centers. 4chan just does shit sometimes, and has nowhere near an addictive interface. twitter is infinitely worse
You know if this happened toward the other end of last decade someone would have sent a drawing of him flailing his arms and spreading his legs in an awkward position with a huge bulge in his pants.
I remember as a kid 15 years ago seeing WWII vets and just being so surprised because it felt like such a long time ago. And now there’s not a lot of them still around. It’s sad. Vietnam vets are starting to get up into their 70s and 80s now.
i remember having that realization after the last WWI vet passed. started working as a CNA and noticed the number of WWII vets was drastically lower than just 5 years previously. we should appreciate our seniors while they're here, even if it feels they don't reciprocate, they deserve all the love and acceptance we can give
My mom's dad is also a veteran from the vietnam war. He's doing pretty well I'd say. I think he's around 70 something years old now, but he's doing well, I just saw him last thanksgiving infact. It's always interesting to ask him what it was like and other stuff about military and the war. I had a great grandma who lived until she was around 96 or 98, can't remember too well, but she lived up until just 2 years ago, January 2021. She lived a long, happy life. We should cherish the memories we have with people for now, that's for sure.
Reading your thread 2 years later, I don't think any are around anymore, maybe Vietnam but that's a couple. Knowing I'd be dead today I would serve in WW2 knowing it was for today. We might suffer but we suffer together, and we rise together.
Fucking hell this one hit hard for me. My great grandpa Charles Lovaglio had a nearly identical situation (minus 4chan obviously). He was a super sweet man, he always called me his best friend despite the fact that I only got to see him maybe 2-3 times a year, and was a WWII vet who turned 90 in 2010. His wife had been dead for about 15 years and according to my family it took an extremely heavy toll on him but after I was born (being his first great grandchild) he started to improve significantly. For his 90th birthday we threw him a massive party and had every single one of his living family members come down to Florida. I didn't really understand it at the time but I had never seen someone as happy as he was that day, and that's saying a lot because whenever I saw him he was always happy. Anyways, not even a year after his party his health started to dwindle rapidly and he had to be moved from the home he had built with his wife and into an assisted living home. He passed away in 2013 surrounded by his family after he had heart complications. I wasn't able to be there and to this day part of me regrets not going (I was afraid of seeing someone die) but I was able to say goodbye to him and told him that I'll always be his best friend.
I love how when the operation is complete toxicity they come up with some of the most creative names, but the one time they have to be nice it’s “Operation Wish Mr Lashua A Happy Birthday”
This made me cry. My grandpa was a ww2 veteran too and he lived his 95 years in great pride for his service. At 80, he would ride his rusty old bike everyday to attend the veteran meetings, to the beehives all the way to another village to come home with honeycombs so he could make us natural healthy honey, and to my school everyday to take me home. At 90, he couldn't walk without his cane, still he was a stubborn old man and he still insisted and kept on going to the veteran meetings because he considered his service his one prideful achievement in life. He kept that up till he turned 94. The last 2 years with him were painful, but we still celebrated his birthday with all his veteran colleagues and friends, we still brought him to all of our celebrations in town and we still went with him to our national day's parade. At his funeral, aprox. 20 shots were fired in his honor, at the heroes' cemetery. It was as much beautiful ceremony as tragic. Rest in peace General Dumitru Radu, gramps.
Im sorry, but the quote, “we aren’t sold yet, SELL IT HARDER” made me laugh so damn hard- Also, all my respects to Mr. Lashua even though im like 5 years late to the party.
4chan does all the heavy lifting on anything the internet has or knows. Reddit just like to take credit since the posts on 4chan get 404d within minutes of being posted
Was gonna comment "Tomorrow is His 101Th Birthday (Hope he is well)" then I watched the end of the video and reality slapped me hard, I guess good times don't last long
All in all, it doesn't matter as much. A bunch of anonymous users came together to cheer up a good man on his 90th birthday, the deed was always more important than the recognition. But you're still right, fuck reddit, reddit's mad gay.
I think that’s one of the reasons it was such a successful operation. It wasn’t just “do something kind”, it was “bomb this motherfucker with kindness”. As sweet as it was, it still had a trollish nature to it
@@Zeverinsen /pol/ is like 50% regular jackasses who wanna say some offensive shit without getting banned, about 30% controlled opposition and feds watching to see if anyone gives a credible threat, 10% people who are trying to raid it at any given time, and 10% actual nazis.
When I was in the Military I had to do about 4 months of funeral detail for brothers who have passed on. It’s always sad seeing sometimes how few people show up. Good on the internet for helping this man.
4chan is like that one creepy uncle from the family reunion. Just that one dude you've never seen before or talked to and is kinda offputting but when your in a bind like your car breaks down in winter or something hes the one guy you can depend on.
"Restored faith in humanity" she said. If only she knew that that board had a thread about the great debate of do you wipe your ass sitting down or standing up.

This video played with my emotions man. I had a smile watching him be happy for all the wishes he got only to hear the sad news Tho Im happy the internet came together to surprise him with something like this
@@intestinalobstructiongamin157 neutral means that you can swing to either evil or good. I am the god of nerds, and thus know of the secrets. 4chan is CN.
@@intestinalobstructiongamin157 In D&D alignments, True Neutral (NN) is the one most aligned with "forcing neutrality", although it doesn't necessarily have to be an actual forcing of the concept of neutrality, more a dedication to pushing back against that which is out of control. Lawful Neutral is more about dedication to an order of doing things and is only rarely "law for law's sake", and chaotic neutral is the "does what they feel is right, even if it isn't good or evil.
As a grandson of a veteran from two wars, this really hit home. Its like the tears were sucked out of my face, I didn't get to say no to that. What a wholesome video wavy :)
The reason why things done by 4chan hit a bit harder is because no one on 4chan is doing anything for external validation Everyone there is anonymous, there's no vote system or content ranking for threads. When people from 4chan do something kind, they're only doing it out of a sense of kindness.
My family is Mormon, and the running joke was as soon as you hit 90 grandma can go to the casino and have fun haha. Also like calling him young man it is a nice meme gesture. How many grandparents have had strippers sent to their 90th birthday to celebrate their life heh
I listened to this video at work and I genuinely cried. What a beautiful story and what a sweet old man. I’m so happy he was able to experience an event of such overwhelming kindness and happiness towards the end of his life.
I wasn't surprised to learn he had passed on by now, and it seemed like he had a good death. Not that I wished him harm or anything, it's just death takes us all, and he was in his 90s. But even so, that's a long life. Passing at the ripe old age of 92, surrounded by family, remembered by not just the local community but the world at large as a great man, and being the focal point of one of the few times two mortal enemies (4chan and reddit) came together for a common good... I can't think of really any other better ways to go out.
@Razor Hogan I will gladly clean my grandmother's shit up and make her last days on God's green earth a comfortable as possible and you won't EVER hear me complain about it because I love that woman. Wouldn't expect someone that only knows hate to understand love even though you say conservatives are the hateful ones.
I love these more wholesome videos, Wavy! I would love to see more! I tend to rewatch your videos that are more like this the most. There’s just so much dark to report on in this world. Thank you!

@@maxquacks Since no one’s answered you just yet, I can offer a small paraphrased explanation! There was a random guy named Josh who sent multiple other people named Josh a group message over Facebook saying that he would host a battle to decide the “one and true Josh” on a specific date, I believe sometime summer(?) last year 2021. Over the year or so leading up to the date, more and more people caught wind of it until it was several hundred people who showed up to the Josh Fight with pool noodles and foam weapons and cameras to livestream. I only caught wind of it as it was being blogged on Twitter, but the winner ended up being a five-year-old boy, obviously also named Josh, who got a crown and was carried around on people’s shoulders getting declared the one true Josh. A very hilariously wholesome story!
4Chan did it because 4Chan loves reactions. Positive, negative, it matters not. This is why 4Chan is true chaotic neutral. Reddit only did it for narcissistic reasons and to appear "Morally superior" to 4Chan though.
I was there on /b/ when this thread popped up, and I sent a card to Mr. Lashua as well. The response from /b/ of all places was really unexpected and honestly heartwarming. I still get an email notification every year reminding me to send him a birthday card, even after his passing.
4chan is a place where people have found terrorists, identified criminals, tracked down a flag with no clues And they do something as wholesome as this They are good bros
We are many things. Mainly, we are passionate. If we care enough about something, we will always make it happen with the powers of our autismo-genetics and teamwork
For me,4chan is bipolar. At one side,they doxx people that they don't like and do weird things but on the other hand,they tracked isis and told russian forces to bomb them and they did this which is very wholesome
Even the grandson unconsciously knew what 4chan was when he said no gifts or strippers
He knew what internet was. A place with literally everyone.
Send the old man some stripper clips, a ww2 vet probably has a bunch of antique WW2-era guns hidden somewhere. Maybe a Mauser taken as a war trophy.
No strippers made me laugh
Why no gifts?

That’s an amazing story! Thank you for sharing
One of my grandparents fought for the.l British army in a group of Irish infantry and another fought as a field medic in the Wehrmacht. After the war they became close friends and I really loved hearing their stories in the end we are all humans the only difference is which country they happened to be in
I didn't know Mr. Lashua at all hell I didn't even know he existed at all before I watched this video, but still when I heard he died it made sheet tears. R.I.P William J. Lashua you will be missed not only by the locals of the town, but also by the internet and I wish his family good luck.
His smile when he’s getting all those cards is golden. May he Rest In Peace.

"Weaponized altruism" is a seriously brilliant play on 4Chan's notorious weaponized autism.
I don't know if that spelling was deliberate but Goddamn that was hilarious.
I feel honored in some way idk why tho
As soon as he said 'weaponised' I was ready to hear him say 4utism next. Was pleasantly surprised. Got a chuckle out of me too
@@mdragarg why would you censor autism
Okay so I know the phrase weaponized autism has alt-right associations but I gotta admit as an autistic person that that sounds badass lol
I remember as a kid 15 years ago seeing WWII vets and just being so surprised because it felt like such a long time ago. And now there’s not a lot of them still around. It’s sad. Vietnam vets are starting to get up into their 70s and 80s now.
Some Korean War Vets are getting up to 60 now so it's hard to see war vets becoming old but happy that they pass on peacefully.
i remember having that realization after the last WWI vet passed. started working as a CNA and noticed the number of WWII vets was drastically lower than just 5 years previously. we should appreciate our seniors while they're here, even if it feels they don't reciprocate, they deserve all the love and acceptance we can give
My mom's dad is also a veteran from the vietnam war. He's doing pretty well I'd say. I think he's around 70 something years old now, but he's doing well, I just saw him last thanksgiving infact. It's always interesting to ask him what it was like and other stuff about military and the war. I had a great grandma who lived until she was around 96 or 98, can't remember too well, but she lived up until just 2 years ago, January 2021. She lived a long, happy life.
We should cherish the memories we have with people for now, that's for sure.
Reading your thread 2 years later, I don't think any are around anymore, maybe Vietnam but that's a couple. Knowing I'd be dead today I would serve in WW2 knowing it was for today. We might suffer but we suffer together, and we rise together.

Fucking hell this one hit hard for me. My great grandpa Charles Lovaglio had a nearly identical situation (minus 4chan obviously). He was a super sweet man, he always called me his best friend despite the fact that I only got to see him maybe 2-3 times a year, and was a WWII vet who turned 90 in 2010. His wife had been dead for about 15 years and according to my family it took an extremely heavy toll on him but after I was born (being his first great grandchild) he started to improve significantly.
For his 90th birthday we threw him a massive party and had every single one of his living family members come down to Florida. I didn't really understand it at the time but I had never seen someone as happy as he was that day, and that's saying a lot because whenever I saw him he was always happy. Anyways, not even a year after his party his health started to dwindle rapidly and he had to be moved from the home he had built with his wife and into an assisted living home. He passed away in 2013 surrounded by his family after he had heart complications. I wasn't able to be there and to this day part of me regrets not going (I was afraid of seeing someone die) but I was able to say goodbye to him and told him that I'll always be his best friend.
I'm sure he knows wherever he is.
R.I.P
F..
im sure he knows, and that hes still by your side in his own special grandpa way. hope hes resting in peace ❤️

This does put a smile on my face too
This made me cry.
My grandpa was a ww2 veteran too and he lived his 95 years in great pride for his service. At 80, he would ride his rusty old bike everyday to attend the veteran meetings, to the beehives all the way to another village to come home with honeycombs so he could make us natural healthy honey, and to my school everyday to take me home. At 90, he couldn't walk without his cane, still he was a stubborn old man and he still insisted and kept on going to the veteran meetings because he considered his service his one prideful achievement in life. He kept that up till he turned 94. The last 2 years with him were painful, but we still celebrated his birthday with all his veteran colleagues and friends, we still brought him to all of our celebrations in town and we still went with him to our national day's parade. At his funeral, aprox. 20 shots were fired in his honor, at the heroes' cemetery. It was as much beautiful ceremony as tragic. Rest in peace General Dumitru Radu, gramps.

But even so, that's a long life.
