Are we a forum of man-child shut-ins?

We all know GD has a reputation for being home to some of the more worthless threads; the "HOW DOES OVEN WORK!!!" and "ZOMG A GIRL LOOKED AT ME!!?!" and the ilk. Now, some of us are younger and genuinely may not know how to cook an egg (dear God ...) and some of us are a bit, well, a bit dense and may not know how to resolve such challenging issues as "Is the Post Office open today?" (at 3am, this is important to you? Really?) on their own.

But we can't all be window lickers, can we? I mean at least some of the forum members must be able to tie their own laces, dress themselves, know how to prepare and eat breakfast and go to work/school/dogging? Right?

So how do we end up with these threads? What would happen if GD didn't exist? I can only imagine thousands of goons, locked in their computer rooms starving to death because they don't know how to open the door or turn the light on.

Anyway, what kind of person are you? Are you the man-child shut-in who needs direction on even the most simple of things (preferably from randoms on the interweb) or are you, you know, actually a proper person who can look after themselves? Be honest :)




You know what would be hilarious? If someone posted "rubbish thread"! Because I'm moaning about rubbish threads! You see? That'd be, like, funny! So please do that and be funny.
 
Everyone will reply they they are grown up and independant (who would admit to wearing adult nappies and licking windows?). the problem is only 1/3 will be true. the others are lying or too dumb to realise they dont just wear velcro shoes because its cool.

Edit: by everyone I meant exluding the lolthread and 'funny..' replies.

Sounds like you take internet forums too seriously..
 
Could be worse, could have been a..

Spec Me an MSPaint of a Photoshop This of a picture of an Unemployed Lesbian Immigrant in a Burkha who needed advice on a Hair Cut and was Punched in the Ovaries by Chavs whilst waiting for her £4,000 Watch to be delivered via City-Link who probably won't show up, which she had scammed off Ebay by using a bogus PayPal account stolen from a Muslim BMW Driver who was on a cruise on the FailBoat and was asking at that exact moment on FaceBook how to make a Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri and Sat Joke Thread full of jokes that were posted less than a week ago by someone else whilst being spied on by Ceiling Cat who was on a sight-seeing trip to Sparta whilst smashing a Pasty. And is there a god? And why are religions so evil Thread.

That, right there, is the very essence of pure, undistilled GD. Bravo, sir, bravo.
 
I remember a thread about someone who was locked in his own room and couldn't get out. So yes some people just are, as you put it "window lickers"
 
GD is the place i frequent when im drunk, idiocy is forgiven more around these parts, you get crucified in other parts of the forum so i guess it is like a pub really.
