some day some of you chuckleheads will have kids. we live in an age of an expanding internet culture. will making the next generation aware of the culture of the internet be the new "talk" parents give their kids? how would one explain all the strange things that only exist on the internet? what do you do when you have to explain lolcows or tumblr or alt right to your kids? do you explain to them what is in store for them before they log on? or do you wait for them to find out for themselves?

You do realize kids will be kids, right? They will go over to Tommy's house and use his internet to look at azz n tiddies. And his drunk mom and absent father will probably not notice.

Raise smart kids, educate them on what their teachers are too scared to tell them, or that honestly isn't their job to tell them about anyway. So yes, I agree with Catparty. Although I have no kids, so....lol listen to me

I'd let them make mistakes, form their own understanding of the internet, allow them to explore the internet on their own, I feel learning internet awareness on your own is the best way to learn, it's the hardest but it'll sure teach 'em.

BUT I'D NEVER SHOW THEM KIWI FARMS!1!!!!!! AWFULW EBSITE!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd give any hypothetical children unfiltered internet access and rely on the idea that I've taught them enough about life that they won't be autistic or dumb on the internet.
It's really futile to try and stop them from accessing the internet, the best you can do is quietly monitor them to make sure they're not doing anything mind-numbingly autistic.

I'd teach them how to cyberbully autists in their class to suicide.

None of that shit will still exist by the time our kids grow up and they'll probably have to explain their weird metaphysical memes to us and we won't understand them.

I have had this "talk" with my kids. I explained Rule 34, and all the fun shit. My daughter accidentally found clop when looking for MLP stuff. THAT was a fun conversation to have with a 8 year old. But.... Bassically I told them the internet is FOREVER, and no matter how fast you pull a pic down or erase a tirade, someone will have seen and archived it. So don't be dumb.

I'm sure if any woman has low enough standards to want to breed with me, you'll probably dox my child and bully him into suicide.

I figure it's kinda in the cards so I'll just let it happen.
