## Plot

Manon and Cybermare covers the classic meme; "Rules of the Internet".

### ARG

At the end of the episode, a Pastebin link is seen flashing, and leads a link to a Google Drive folder containing files.

ok let's get it out of our system alreadyhaha 420 funny weed numberlet's proceed nowdrive google com/drive/folders/13FMIXx5pPhm1SqKVg\_YDQ-QK46IpZHni?usp=sharingSOFTMARE\_0420
The folder contains a short fan webcomic about *Friendship is Witchcraft* named "PG01" as well as a note named "i know what pain is COMIC.txt" about the webcomic with a Tinyurl link.

an abandoned MLP fancomic project about the cutie mark crusaders from "friendship is witchcraft".APPLEBLOOMsweetie belle's friendSCOOTALOOsweetie belle's friendSWEETIE BELLEsweetie Belle is a robot. it's something she's been hiding because in this world, robots are seen as dangerous and to be destroyed asap.she hates being a robot and wants to be human just like her friends. even though she's been hiding this from her friends and lying many times, they will accept her all the same.. right?tinyurl.com/\*\*\*\*\*\*i know what pain is COMIC.txt
To pass this, a hint can be seen in the comic panels where there are a number of bolts seen in each of them as cutie marks (4 in the first, 1 in the second, 3 in the third, 2 in the fourth, 1 in the fifth, and 5 in the sixth). Corresponding the numbers "413215" to the characters in the hex code leads to these being needed in a Tinyurl link (b76fc7), which is a Pastebin link that leads to a link of the Discord server, SOFTMARE\_0420.

## Transcript

*(Intro plays as normal, with Manon surfing past future events of the current episode before landing in their room)*
*(Manon is seen dreaming as Cybermare is watching the video "My Advice To You." by apandah on her phone and Manon then wakes up)*
**Manon:** OMG! I totally forgot! *(Manon gets out of bed)* Cybermare! We gotta do an episode on teh rules of the internet!
**Cybermare:** What? Like, right now?
**Manon:** Yeah! Why didn't I think of it before? It's so obvious!
**Cybermare:** Uh. Why?
**Manon:** *LOVEWEB* is a show about the internet!
We should have started with an episode about the rules of the internet!
**Cybermare:**
Actually, Nevermind. Let's do an episode on that. That's were Rule 34 comes from, right?
**Manon:** Yeah!
**Cybermare:** Based. Count me in then.
**Manon:** Epic! Let's go!
*(Manon rushes to their computer)*
**Manon:** The rules of the internet are a netiquette, which is a list of rules and good behavior to follow when posting on the internet. They evolved a lot over time and have a ton of different iterations. But even if the internet is serious business, remember that none of the rules are meant to be taken seriously. Around early 2007, a set of rules was posted on Encyclopedia Dramatica, collaborated by a group of anonymous 4chan users.
**Cybermare:** Aw man, more 4chan shit again? This website is terrible.
**Manon:** Most of the popular memes from the early 2000s come from 4chan, it was an iconic meme factory!
**Cybermare:** More like, a pedo-bigot factory.
**Manon:** Anyway, as you can see, Rule 1 to 33 are written off as something to not talk about, and Rule 34 was already established in 2007. Another iteration was posted by another anon on 4chan's text boards shortly after, this one having 50 rules. After lots of anons fighting over which rules should exist or not, the amount of rules became absurdly high. But in early 2009, a set of rules was posted on archive.org and this is the one that stuck around, so its this one we're gonna talk about.
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 1: Do not talk about /b/
*(the sound of silence makes Manon and Cybermare not say anything)*
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 2: Do NOT talk about /b/
**Manon:** /b/ is one of the boards on 4chan, it's...
**Cybermare:** No, we're not talking about /b/.
**Cybermare:** But these two rules have an interesting story! It's about avoiding the eternal summer-
**Cybermare:** 4chan was never good. And I don't want your rose tainted fairy tales to make innocent people think this has-been shithole of the internet has any value.
**Manon:** Ugh.. next rule then...
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 3 TO 4 AND 5: We are Anonymous. Anonymous is legion. Anonymous never forgives
**Manon:** These 3 rules are a reference to the slogan of the hacker collective called Anonymous. Recognizable by their Guy Fawkes mask, they are a vigilanty group originating from 4chan that fights against censorship, control, and surveillance coming from goverments and corporations. They also fight animal abuse, especially against cats. In 2008, they became well known for Project Chanology. The goal of the project was to expose the corruptions of the scientology church, or just mock it for the lulz! This was done through protests, DDoS attacks and many other actions. They have a ton of history, it's a whole other rabbit hole. Sadly we don't have time to cover everything here.
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 6: Anonymous can be a horrible, senseless, uncaring monster
*(the anonymous user laughs and laughs more evily)*
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 7: Anonymous is still able to deliver
**Anonymous User:** *(continues laughing evily until they show off a meme they made, which is Ceiling Cat)* Here's the meme you requested!
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 8: There are no real rules about posting
*(the anonymous user types on a 4chan board with a comment filled with nonsense gibberish)*
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 9: There are no real rules about moderation either - enjoy your ban
*(the anonymous user continues typing until the admin comes out of their computer and punches them with the word "BAN" on the fist)*
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 10: If you enjoy any rival sites - DON'T
**Cybermare:** What the fuck are those rules? These are not about the internet, they're about 4chan.
**Manon:** Yeah, I forgot to mention but these are a blend of rules about 4chan and the internet. But a lot of them still applies to the whole internet.
**Cybermare:** Why are they called "Rules of the Internet" and not "Rules of 4chan" then? Do they think they own the whole internet?
**Manon:** They were pretty influencial on memes and internet culture back then!
**Cybermare:**
Hmmm... Something tells me they take way too much credit...
**Manon:** Well, to be honest, the rules are allegedly not even from 4chan. Here's a clip of Moot, who was 4chan's admin at the time!
**Moot:** The rules were created by the man to keep you down, they don't actually exist. It's true the rules were invented by Gaia. If you check, it's in their archives.
**Cybermare:** Wasn't Gaia like, the rival site of 4chan or something?
**Manon:** Yeah, it was!
**Cybermare:** LMAO, this is priceless if it's real.
**Manon:** I tried to find those archives Moot mentionned but found nothing proving if it's real of not, anyway moving on!
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 11: All your carefully picked arguments can easily be ignored
**Anonymous User:** Remember Longcat? Memes were simpler back then. In 2006, they stood for something... And that something was nothing. Memes just were. "Longcat is long." An undeniably true, self-
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 12: Anything you say can and will be used against you
**Anonymous User:** I know all about the dictionary!
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 13: Anything you say can be turned into something else - fixed
**Anonymous User:** I know all about the- *(in another voice interrupted)* DICK AND BALLS! That's not what I said-
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 14: Do not argue with trolls - it means that they win
**Anonymous User:** What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in- *(as they complain another anonymous user is seen holding a fan with a Trollface covering their face)*
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 15: The harder you try the harder you will fail
**Anonymous User:**
I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target! *(the other anonymous user with the trollface mask is laughing)*
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 16: If you fail in epic proportions, it may just become a winning failure
**Anonymouse User 1:** You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the internet? Think again- *(their head explodes, causing the admin to place the "WINNING FAILURE" trophy on their head)*
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 17: Every win fails eventually
*(the other anonymous user with the trollface mask laughing gets hit by the admin coming out of their computer with a ban hammer)*
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 18: Everything that can be labeled can be hated
*(two anonymous users boos at the admin)*
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 19: The more you hate it the stronger it gets
*(the admin sucks the two anonymous users' rants and it causes her to grow bigger causing the anonymous users to run away)*
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 20: Nothing is to be taken seriously
**Cybermare:** Didn't you say the internet is serious business earlier?
**Manon:** Oh yeah! I was just referencing a meme!
**Cybermare:** I never know if anything you say is a real sentence or if you're just repeating a dead meme...
**Manon:** "The Internet is serious business", or "The Internet. Serious Business.", is an ironic meme to remind that discussions on the internet are usually inconsequential. The meme can also be used to tell a heated debate that the subject is taken way too seriously. This Google trend show that the meme was searched a lot throughout the 2000s, but it died out in the 2010s.
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 21: Original content is original only for a few seconds before getting old
**Anonymous User:** Hey everyone! Check out this meme I made! *(other anonymous users comes and cheers before going away)* Aw.
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 22: Copypasta is made to ruin every last bit of originality
**Manon:** Copypasta is a mix of copy paste and pasta. It's a short or long text that people copy and paste everywhere for the lulz. The most iconic one being the Navy Seal copypasta, you probably came across it during your internet exploring. As early as 2006, you can find a definition posted on Urban Dictionary.
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 23: Copypasta is made to ruin every last bit of originality
**Manon:** Copypasta is a mix of copy paste and pasta. It's a short or long text that people copy and paste everywhere for the lulz. The most iconic one-
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 24: Every repost it always a repost of a repost of a repost of a repost of a repost of a repost-
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 25: Relation to the original topic decreases with every single post
**Anonymous User 1:** Hey guys, how do I shot web?
**Anonymous User 2:** Well it's simple, first you gotta-
*(100 POSTS LATER)*
**Anonymous User 1:** Woah, of course! I do believe in Raptor Jesus now!
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 26: Any topic can easily be turned into something totally unrelated
**Anonymous User 1:** Wait, what were we talking about again?
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 27: Always question a person's sexual prefrences without any real reason
**Anonymous User 1:** Also, what do you think of armpits?
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 28: Always question a person's gender - just incase it's really a man
**Cybermare:** I thought this rule was good for a sec, how brainlet of me.
**Manon:** Why? You should always question someone's gender to make sure you don't misgender them!
**Cybermare:** Uh, no. This is 4chan users. They just hate girls. That's why there's an emphasis on the gender being male.
**Manon:** Oh.. uh, no time to dwell on that. Time for next rule!
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 29: In the internet all girls are men and all kids are undercover FBI agents
**Cybermare:** No wonder the manchildren pedophile community only attracts dudes and FBI agents.
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 30: There are no girls on the internet
**Cybermare:** LMAO, the absolute state of channers needing not 1 but 3 rules about their misogynistic paranoia.
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 31: TITS or GTFO - the choice is yours
**Cybermare:** Holy shit, we're hitting inceldom levels that shouldn't even be possible. Can we just skip all of them until Rule 34?
**Manon:** Wait! This one has some history behind! Please, please, please! Let me talk about it...
**Cybermare:** The history of how 4chan users get no bitches? LOL, how about no.
**Manon:** Cybermare please! This is an informational show!
What's the point if it if you don't let me teach stuff to the viewer?
**Cybermare:** Ugh, okay fine..
**Manon:** As you might have guessed, there wasn't much girls in these kind of communities. From my understanding, anyone mentioning that they were a girl on 4chan or other forums would cause threads to derail. Everyone would give attention to the girl poster, good and bad attention.
**Cybermare:** They'd just be harassed by simps and incels, got it.
**Manon:** The rule does sound harsh... not suprising coming from 4chan. But at it's heart, it's about how anonymous has no gender. It shouldn't matter what your gender is, everyone should be equal!
**Cybermare:** Well, did they refer to themselves with gender neutral pronouns then?
**Manon:** No.. not really...
**Cybermare:** Thought so.
**Manon:** Anyway, moving on!
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 32: You must have pictures to prove your statements
**Manon:** This rule is refering to the meme "Pics or It Didn't Happen". A quick and simple way to ask for proof when an internet user tells an epic story that's too good to be true.
It originates from the Tribal War forums in 2003. A user was claiming about how their sister's friend came over and they were having an awesome pillow fight! But another user replied within seconds: "pix or it didn't happen". And to everyone's surprise... pics were never provided...
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 33: Lurk more - it's never enough
**Manon:** A lurker is someone who watches a certain community without ever contributing to it. Elitist communities like 4chan recommend lurking before posting on their website to understand the culture and it's memes.
**Cybermare:** *(dragging tabs with her pony magic)* Lurker is also the name of our precious 1 dollar Patreons, who get their name credited at the end of the episode, have access to a cozy private Discord-
**Manon:** Cybermare...
**Cybermare:** What? I'm helping.
**Manon:** Oh! The next rule is the rule you remember!
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 34: There is porn of it, no exceptions
**Cybermare:** Finally. The only rule that matters.
**Manon:** The earliest mention of this rule is from a comic made by Zoom-Out Productions in late 2004. It portrays the creator shocked to find NSFW artwork of *Calvin and Hobbes*. It seems like Rule 34 is the earliest rule that was created out of every other rules. You might be wondering, why isn't it Rule 1 then? Well part of the joke was that a list of rules of the internet would exist in the first place, and 34 is just a random number. This joke got lost when 4chan users started making a real list of rules. Rule 34 would also be used in the demotivational poster format, to give a lewd context to otherwise safe pictures. Nowadays Rule 34 is known for being a naughty website filled with naughty content.
**Cybermare:** Actually, this reminds me, I gotta check something...
**Manon:** Uuuuh, what are you doing?
**Cybermare:** No exceptions, Manon from *LOVEWEB*...
**Manon:** *(Manon gets uncomfortable)* Ohnonono please don't look me up on-
**Cybermare:** Aw dude cringe... There's no result for either of us on Rule 34. Oh wait, I do remember what Rule 35 is now.
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 35: If no porn is found at the moment, it will be made
**Manon:** No, no! That's just gonna make peeps want to create it
**Cybermare:** You hear that everyone? Chop chop!
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 36: There will always be even more fucked up shit than what you just saw
**Manon:** Not if there's Rule 34 of me!
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 37: You can not divide by zero (just because the calculator says so)
**Manon:** *(Manon goes back being normal)* Divide by Zero is another meme of the early internet. The caption is always accompanied with a picture showing a disaster, the result of dividing by zero. Sometimes the caption "Oh shi-" is added to express the quick reaction of the poster facing what they caused. It emphasizes on how immmediate the disaster is. One of the earliest version of this meme is on YTMND, which was posted on October 3rd, 2005.
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 38: No real limits of any kind apply here - not even the sky
**Cybermare:** Bruh, those channers are gonna need to go outside first if they want to reach the sky.
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 39: CAPSLOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL
**Tim:** Caps lock, cruise control for awesomness 🎵 Caps lock, cruise control for cool 🎵
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 40: EVEN WITH CRUISE CONTROL YOU STILL HAVE TO STEER
 **Tim:** Caps lock, cruise control for- *(the screen suddenly forms the Blue Screen of Death)*
**Rule Announcer 41:** RULE 41: Desu isn't funny. Seriously guys. It's worse than Chuck Norris jokes.
**Manon:** Oh boy, that's two meme in one rule! Epic combo! "Desu" is a Japanese word that is pretty hard to translate into english, but it's a pretty formal word used when talking to strangers or a superior. Suiseiseki from the anime *Rozen Maiden* would use the word desu so much that it became associated with her!
*(half of the video "Suiseiseki Desu Desu Desu" starts playing)*
**Manon:** Anons in 2006 would start spamming 4chan by going "DESU DESU DESU", but other anons thought this meme was forced and they later found an official counter to desu spam. It's Gaston from *Beauty and the Beast*! Because of, uh.... he's very strong! The Desu spam was so bad that it allegedly got banned on 4chan at some point.
It doesn't sound like the desu meme gets much love... But it's apparently worse than Chuck Norris Jokes. Also known as Chuck Norris facts, Chuck Norris Jokes are absurd and hyperbolic statements about Chuck Norris, an american actor and martial artist. All those facts revolves around making Chuck Norris seem like an impossibly strong and logic-defying being.
This meme originated from the Something Awful forums in 2005, and quickly became popular on the entire internet. But it quickly became overused as it reached mainstream attention.
And since 4chan is counter culture, Chuck Norris Jokes became very frowned upon.
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 42: Nothing is Sacred.
**Anonymous User:** Except Raptor Jesus!
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 43: The more beautiful and pure a thing is - the more satisfying it is to corrupt it
**Cybermare:** You know it's gonna happen sooner or later.
**Manon:** Stooooop!
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 44: Even one positive comment about Japanese things can make you a weaboo
**Manon:** A weaboo is a person that ideolize anime and Japanese culture in general, sometimes to the point of desiring to be Japanese. Before weaboo became common, people were using the word "Wapanese", a mix of "wannabe" and Japanese. The term weaboo comes from this comic by Nicholas Gurewitch and it didn't mean anything in the context of the comic. That was until the word wapanese was filtered into weaboo in 4chan that it gained it's modern definition.
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 45: When one sees a lion, one must get into the car.
**Manon:** This rule is referencing the meme "Jesus Christ It's a Lion Get In The Car!". Another 2006 meme from 4chan, a drawing appeared on the internet of a circle along side a kitty face smiley accompanied with a speech bubble saying "RAWR I'M A LION". Alongside the sentence "JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION GET IN THE CAR!", there was also a lot of image macros and demotivational posters about that meme. This is one of my favorite meme! RAWR! >:3
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 46: There is always furry porn of it.
**Cybermare:** I wonder how furry me would look like, I hope she's hot and not a cringy freak.
**Manon:** But Cybermare, aren't you already a furry?
**Cybermare:** What? Shut up. I'm not a furry.
**Manon:** But you're an anthropomorphised animal...
**Cybermare:** I'm a pony, there's a HUGE difference....
**Manon:** Okay if you say so...
**Rule Announcer:** RULE 47: The pool is always closed.
**Manon:** Oh boy...
**Cybermare:** What?
**Manon:** This is a big one... I don't know if i have the strength to explain it after all those memes.
**Cybermare:** Well then, we should stop and make a part 2. That means we'll get double the views.
**Manon:** I know! I'll just get BluShades to help!
**Cybermare:** Literally who?
**Manon:** Another YouTuber that makes videos about the internet! *(Manon rings their phone)*
**BluShades:** Thanks Manon. In the far off year of 2006, 4chan's Random board, infamously known as "/b/" to many, started regularly rating the popular avatar chatroom game *Habbo Hotel*, after the moderators of *Habbo Hotel* were accused of racially profiling against black avatars. These response was to dress up as a black avatar doning a "slick" buissness suit and a big afro. Now, *Habbo Hotel* raids were not uncommon. Something Awful often raided the game as early as 2004. Raiding takes on a different meaning in *Habbo Hotel* as opposed to other MMOs and social games at the time, mostly in part of the users in *Habbo* being a fixed part of the environment. In most massively multiplayer games, you can typically pass through people which keeps people from blocking you're gatekeeping parts of the experience. With this technical glitch or intentional design choice in mind, anons of /b/ conversed upon the popular hangout spots to create a digital blockade. Anons on /b/ who particapated in these raids adopted the clever moniker of "blockers". Even though *Habbo Hotel* is just a social hub, these blockades were a source of anguish and frustration for regulars of the game and its rooms. Eventually, a blockade was created by the pool, and inevitably, someone had typed out "pool's closed". And like clockwork, the sane became a meme and spawned many variations used in the game, and the Random board itself. 2006 4chan anachronisms like "pool's closed due to aids" or "pool's closed due to stringrays" or "pool's closed due to stringrays and the stingrays have aids". Spread of the saying influenced organizing efforts and inevitably morphed into a symbol for raids themselves. Software was developed to counteract bans and repeatedly spammed phrases, while bypasing all of the game's filters. These momentums lead to the largest *Habbo Hotel* raid on July 12th, 2006, where they effectively made the game unplayable for those just trying to enjoy the game normally. The raid was so successful that the game had to be taken offline. Words became blacklisted in the chat from then on. And most importantly, avatars that are black, wear an afro, and wear suits were automatically banned. "Pool's Closed" as a meme eventually left off 4chan and started to materialize in the real world. A real life raid was organized in Finland in part of the Sulake headquarters, which happens to be the parent company of *Habbo Hotel*. They don the black wigs and suits while forming swastikas, clearly mimicing the raids conducted in the game. "Pool's Closed" popularity as a meme reached a peak when Texas resident Mary Alice Altorfer came across a "Pool's Closed" pinned on a gate of a public pool, and reported it to her local news television station. Mary and subsequently the local news station, misinterpreted the sign as racial discrimination. Those who knew the true context of the meme were amused by this and took it upon by this to troll, more like harass, Mary for interperting the meme for the lulz. This event in the meme's life reminded people of its original purpose. 4chan wanted to protest the racial discrimination *Habbo Hotel* were perpetuating in their class ac- for the "lulz" type way. Mary's misreading of the meme is the exact opposite purpose of the original meme. So Manon, rule 47 is the "pool is always closed" because some people just love to ruin things for others. The moderators for *Habbo Hotel* were being racist jerks and classic 4chan responded in the most provoked way possible. The rules of the internet aren't to be taken seriously of- but if there's one thing to take seriously, it would be this one: Don't be a jerk who ruins everything for everyone.
**Manon:** Thank you BluShades! Don't forget to check him out, his channel is in the description.
**BluShades:** Bye Manon! Bye Cybermare!
**Manon:** Phew, we learned a lot of things today.
**Cybermare:** The only thing I learned is that 4chan ruined the joke of Rule 34 with all their shitty rules.
**Manon:** Gasp! Are you suggesting we need new rules of the internet?
**Cybermare:**
Uhh, not really. But what I'm saying-
**Manon:** *(Manon takes out MS Paint and a pen)* Epic! Let's make our own rules of the internet! *(Manon writes on it)*
**Cybermare:** Hmm.... There shouldn't even be rules about the internet.
**Manon:** Done! Check them out!
**Cybermare:** Mmm, let's see. *(Cybermare grabs MS Paint with the rules written by Manon to see what they wrote with pony magic)* We're all friends on the internet.. The internet is perfect... Piracy is always morally correct... You must watch Nyan Cat before using the internet...
**Manon:**
Total upgrade right?
**Cybermare:** This is like, a sidegrade from fucking awful to fucking stupid. Except that piracy rule, that one's good. It's probably for the best if people only remembers Rule 34 in the future. And don't forget Rule 35, you better deliver. *(looks at the screen)*
**Manon:** Cybermare, no! *(Manon jumps into Cybermare)* I'm ending the video- *(the screen is filled with the YouTube error "An error occured. Please try again later.")*

## Trivia
