I went full retard yesterday when I saw /fitlit/ - forgot it was April 1st. Thank God you're back Veeky Forums. Bless all you wonderful pseuds! ITT: Tell us why you love Veeky Forums.
>My Reason: I've learned about a lot of books from you all, which have, in turn, led me to many other works which I may have never found otherwise. No joke, I've introduced my Literature majored friends to many wonderful works they've never heard of thanks to you guys.
/fitlit/ was /pol/ cancer
a bunch of nu males trying to prove how masculine they are because they idolize jocks
Legitimately some of the better discussion of any board
This /thread
is this really the general opinion here?
what a bunch of nu-males
It was the lowest denominators from Veeky Forums posting.
>t. DYEL fag
I agree.
It was one day, ffs. Loosen up, ya uptight noddy.
i sure am happy there aren't any more fatty threads, or r8 my bod or what's ur favrit vagina threads. Veeky Forums sucks, sure, lots of pynchon and zizek and dfw posting, along with rupi kaur mockery, but that's who the fuck we are. not "omfg i love tits ad lifting books kekekekek". to be honest, it was a mismatch considering that Veeky Forums probably has some ten times the user base of Veeky Forums, so it was easily overwhelmed by idiots.
>My Reason: Got some great recommendations for books. I've overcome my edgy existential Phase, became more socially conservative while and found my way into catholic believe. All over the course of 3 years I guess
I wished I could have seen Veeky Forums get merged with /adv/ or Veeky Forums
Wow so rude, and I thought we sincerely became board friends sharing both about good books, philosophical concepts and physical fitness. I guess you're just a bunch of neet hypocrites after all
Veeky Forums isn't bad.
It was fun.
Lighten up nerds.
That's great user!
/g/ would have been interesting, i think. a lot of conflict.
There aren't that many places in my life where I can actually speak from my knowledge base. I feel like I play dumb socially constantly cuz the other option is looking pretentious, too eccentric, obscure references, etc.
Wow, you've never been to fit. And you sound like an insecure retard.
no, you were just fucking talking to yourselves, pretending to be native Veeky Forums, while the true denizens saw what was happening with april fools, left and read for a day, and are now back to enjoy themselves.
we are never going to be friends.
>assravaged dyel
piss off, brainlet. this board was filled with constant idiotic shallow threads and
> hur i haven't read in three years how do i concentrate
>you can only be shallow about your physique
sod off, wanker
I'm sure this board is full of people like you trying to appear intelligent by reading some pseudo-intellectual crap
just go back to Veeky Forums.
no
Stop fighting
Veeky Forums was, at worst, an interesting social experiment and temporary. There are douchebags and psueds on both boards
I have browsed Veeky Forums and Veeky Forums for years. I read books and I powerlift. That's gives me the perspective to see just how big of an insecure fucktard you are.
you can't be serious. That's a perfect description of Veeky Forums. Veeky Forums is fucking garbage, and as much as I love lifting, it's a fucking garbage board. Firstly, half of the board at any time is porn, just general THICCC HIGH TEST or random threads with porn for an OP because half the users are recent migrant from /b/.
Secondly, my god they are so fucking pathetic and insecure. At any time there are probably 5 threads about "height, face, frame" (that means don't bother trying in the world, because all success is genetically determined) and how you're not gonna "make it" (that means getting laid). They're filled to the brim with ressentiment for anyone socially successful, so much so that they've invented a mythology for them. His name is Chad.
It's also flooded with morons who think the board is about getting laid, so they post random "how to do I get the sex, Veeky Forums?" threads all the god damn time.
The board is utter gutter trash that is so steeped in these bizarre and dissonant views on human relationship, behavior, success, women, anything. If the board was actually about lifting, it would be fine. But it's not.
Well it's back to normal now, so we can all get back to the serious Veeky Forums business of shitposting about Pynchon and harassing unfortunate booktubers.
have you ever been on Veeky Forums? this whole board is pseuds and assholes. that's what it's for. people reading and criticizing. Veeky Forums is such a dry well that it can't be drawn from, so we rehash the same shit and angrily demean anyone who hasn't retained all that has come before. fitness is a limited endeavor, but has energy because there is a discernible gain in the effort they place in their work. a man can write and train his writing and still push out trash. and will. forever. you can't lie about abs, or a bicep. it's fucking there or it isn't.
what's insecure about it, try not just saying the same shit again and again.
See, I just need to say I see similarities between your writing and 's. Ignoring the off-chance I'm mediating a 1-person argument, I think you both have valid points which supports my original injection. Ya, lit can be a real dry well and some people never improve their writing and it's a slow board. Yep, fit has a lot of bizarre threads about women and gainz and being "alpha" that I understand why lit wouldn't want to see.
...
this is the kind of shit im talking about . Some fucking stupid kid who is utterly paranoid about balding, in combination with being too dumb to just go to a doctor to get prescribed some treatment and having so few friends his first resort is to ask Veeky Forums for advice. This is all pathetic, but, why the fuck is he posting that shit on a FITNESS board. This is why Veeky Forums sucks, the board is for unsocialized young men who turn to weights to try and compensate for their neuroticism, and self-induced asperger level social skills.
>there are people on Veeky Forums RIGHT NOW that legitimately defend reading books in 2017
I warned you fucks. This 'prank' ruined this website by encouraging cancer crossposters.
kek, even after all those book, you're still a brainlet. End yourself my lad
I started putting more effort into posts and also started noticing similar effortposting from others, which showed me that there are a few knowledgeable people here, not just pseuds. There sure are a lot of pseuds though
It was fun, but I am glad it's just for a day. Most Veeky Forums posters didn't really participate in it either, anti-social disorders I guess.
Yes, it is. Yesterday I didn't post too much because I got tired of that mess pretty soon. A lot of normies posting photos of their muscle and Mishima – Mishima everywhere (as if he was the only fit author ever existed, kek). Fuck that shit, it was a bad experiment. I'm so glad to see my lovely Veeky Forums back.
I'd suck dick to every single skinny pale pseud loser who hangs out here and only here.
no, just not many Veeky Forums posters to begin with, and not only that, we were fucking invaded by shit we read and come here to avoid. it's not anti-social to want to discuss things that we feel are important and refuse to discuss things we don't like because our babysitters put us in the same damn room.
100% agreed with this
>I guess you're just a bunch of neet hypocrites after all
Yes we are.
The only insecure retard here is you
It's just a one-day joke on a mongolian origami board, user.
i take shit seriously. i'm from Veeky Forums. nice to fucking meet you faggot. go read tristram shandy if you want chuckles.
>this whole board is pseuds and assholes
Nah, I'd say this board is just too full of memes and closeminded people (those who can't look over muh postmodernism and muh nietzsche). But overall it's one of the best places on Veeky Forums.
Also with /x/ and /lgbt/ desu
i guess postmodernist nihilism is probably closer than just plain assholes and pseuds. it's hard to tell the difference sifting through.
Veeky Forums is basically going through a Flowers for Algenon moment right now.
In what sense?
hohoho
first sensible chuckle of the day.
Veeky Forums here, what the hell is a flower of algaenon
and the moment has passed.
Veeky Forums is a good board and I enjoyed posting with them
why don'tcha marry them. spend a week on Veeky Forums only and report back.
It's about a mentally disabled guy who gets a surgery which triples his IQ to about 190 points. It was tested first on a mouse named Algernon. After some time the mouse reverts back to its original intelligence level and dies. The main character tries to stop the same from happening to him, but eventually he as well becomes retarded again. The book describes the emotional stress caused by this process.
>that guy who doesn't re-rack his books
>that guy who only comes to the library to take selfies for instagram
>that guy who drops the book when he's done reading
The memes were good. Of course all of you numales feel threatened by anyone who spends 2 hours at the gym per week, so you have to lash out and call them brainlets and meatheads
those are memes that have nothing but the stink of Veeky Forums on them. there is no true cross-reference here, but rather simply a chopjob of Veeky Forums memes. if you had tied in just SOME semblance of literary culture, i would have let you have it, but no, not even a fucking quixote lanklet meme or sisyphus gains meme among you. there was nothing that happened here except the equivalent of a guy entering a library and talking about fucking tits and how many reps he did in a loud and oblivious manner, while the other residents put their noses back into their books.
>that one guy that insists on re-racking his books himself
>commonly places them in the wrong rack
>the book is now practically lost
Is this you?
finally the last few of them are going to sleep. fucking ijits. comfy time.
a-actually i'm so autistic, i take the book from a shelf, and then stand in front of the shelf to read the book, so i can put it back in exactly the same spot.
i know there's carts you can put the book on, but i don't want the employees to know that i unironically read oscar wilde...
...
>10 threads a second waxing nostalgia over a fucking april fools joke that comprised of Veeky Forums users pretending to read books and Veeky Forums users being completely absent
shut the fuck up. all of you.
this, completely this
is that gonna last forever?
That's probably because Veeky Forums is a very active board with many users, while Veeky Forums is a slow board with few users. So naturally, the Veeky Forums part of /fitlit/ is going to dominate. It's like combining /b/ and /trv/
>Veeky Forums
Oh God
The butthurt would have been immeasurable
Imagine the GRRM hate thread, but much much worse and EVERYTHING
Aw shit but we would have had GM advice threads mixed with legit Veeky Forums crit...man that could've been good.
Fuck you I liked it and I'm Veeky Forums
a point is made here
Why would that be a concern? Oscar Wilde is fucking great and the majority of librarians who I have met are retarded elderly women who all read shitty romance novels.
It was ok. Pretty destructive to the culture of Veeky Forums though. Managed to get me to spend less time on Veeky Forums today though, which is a good thing.
i thought so too, but a lot of people on this board really are neet hypocrites
>mental equivalent of a lazy fat person invades Veeky Forums
>waaaah y don't you people accept me without me making any sort of effort
none of you belong on Veeky Forums. especially the Veeky Forumsizens who felt that /fitlit/ was an improvement.
i am a Veeky Forumsizen and i don't think it was a huge improvement, i just think it wasn't that bad. cheer up man
>The two dumb broads from Veeky Forums that fell for it and posted in the body thread to try and get some Chad thundercock
List your top 5 books then
