This seems to have taken the role of the Onion's Outkube project:

It was actually implemented and comments were just going wild. Here is one thread on the WaybackMachine:

Thanks for that, extremely entertaining, fun to read! :)
"That's terrific you have alot of money. Can you lend me $800? I'll pay you back $100 every other day for 2 weeks. Sound cool?"

This is probably the funniest forum post of all time, it was the first thing I thought of when I read the title here, unfortunately it ends on a depressing note:
> My point was proved by smarter people, if you take a single week, not two weeks, just a single week, and workout every other day, you can workout 4 days a week, the end, stop bitching.

#66An article about Usenet by somebody who has never heard of Usenet.
Before the world stratified into random web forums, there was misc.fitness.weights.

#67Elliot Rodger posted on the Misc subforum. In retrospect, reading his posts is like a morbid dark comedy - the lack of social awareness, the insecurity, all shone through to the point of feeling insincere. It could very well have been a troll, there was no way to know. It's no wonder he barely aroused alarm despite posting his ideologies on many a public forum including Youtube. He indirectly mentions posting on Misc…
I didn't know who Elliot Rodger was, so for context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Isla_Vista_killings

"Sorry to hijack, but Josh dude how are you arguing with a calender?" "He is in Josh world. The g'damn dumbest world in the universe!" Classic. Reminds me of arguing Xbox vs Playstation as a teen on neogaf.com.
This whole article takes me back to the late 90s/early 2000s gaming message boards when NeoGAF was simply "Gaming Age Forums". A lot of shit talking, and some on-topic discussion about gaming every now and then. What a wonderful time to have been a teen.
Shit talking/posting on gaming forums do still exists. I joined a 20-year old forum 2 years ago and some thread are funny and some threads are on-topic

#69A really intriguing story related to bodybuilding is the story of DatBTrue. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/26/sports/doping-thomas-mann... He convinced a lot of people that he was an expert at all things science despite using an incredibly immature writing style. It turns out he was a lawyer!
>He convinced a lot of people that he was an expert at all things science despite using an incredibly immature writing style I find this hard to believe considering the many years I spent on his forum, and especially in comparison to many of the advice touted by gurus from other hubs. One excerpt: -11th November 2012, 11:57 PM -How a dose of GHRP-2 affects a change in GH - CHARTED OUT "Sometimes people seem to get co…
He was a fraud that put his parents in legal peril with his scam.
He claimed "Tom" synthesized the compounds in America when in reality they were sourced from China. He doesn't have the required skill to test these compounds for purity and heavy metals. He put many people at risk for financial gain.

Omg, this is awesome. I love this quote: > "You don't count what day it is when counting days, I just explained that. If today is SATURDAY, it's not 2 days until SUNDAY now is it?" The sheer concept that Sunday to Sunday = 1 week versus Sunday to Saturday = 1 week is kind of bending my brain.
Sun -> Mon = 1, Mon -> Tue = 2, Tue -> Wed = 3, Wed -> Thu = 4, Thu -> Fri = 5, Fri -> Sat = 6, Sat -> Sun = 7 So Sun -> Sun = 7 days = 1 week! OP's mixing duration with a "period" of time.
