This is downright sad/ hilarious. How do you frick up this bad. How does nobody even try the metaverse. Like how the fricks you only got 38 people in it homie even the hobo got more likes and followers down the street.
Now playing: Title Theme (Diddy Kong Racing).mp3
tech/science swag. 
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality or funny effortposts and informative or entertaining comments. Please refrain from posting the following:
Boring wingcucked nonsense nobody cares about that belongs in chudrama
Normie shit everyone already knows about
Anything that doesn't gratifify one's intellectual laziness
Bimothy-tier posts
Anything that the jannies don't like
Jannies reserve the right to exile baby ducks from this hole at any time.
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. This hole is a janny playground, participation implies enthusiastic consent to being janny abused by unstable alcoholic bullies and loser nerds who have nothing better to do than banning you for any reason or no reason whatsoever.

VRchat already existed and, while degenerate, is not a soulless corporate wasteland developed by cryptoboomers and is on an engine with no learning curve and massive amounts of learning resources and content.
Given a choice between the two, people are going to obviously pick the one with gmod levels of content customization instead of the proprietary rugpull hellscape

exactly. who the frick would use Metaverse when there is Second Life already established or if you want VR capability in you're life simulator just use VRchat. WTF are they thinking and how are such r-slurred people allowed too have such money and power? Trans lives matter.

With the money they have they literally could have bought Linden Labs and had enough left over to implement VR, which who tf knows some Second Life sperg might have already done this.
Between this and Stadia it's been a hilarious week for tech ghouls getting BTFO.

The end goal seems to be turning the internet into a giant shopping mall that people will spend their life living and consooming in, under the guise of decentralization.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
This is exactly the vision that every misguided tard around 1995-1998 had. Take the experience of going to the mall and deliver that into people's homes and you'll rake in all that cash without needing to own real estate. Genius
idea that played a big role in the dotcom bubble.
The problem is, this makes no fricking sense whatsoever. You could do shopping way better on an ordinary website. You could go on your Love Quest and talk to girls in chat rooms. You can't have a virtual food court. The only thing that a virtual mall brings you is all the inconveniences of a real mall, like having to waste a few minutes walking to a shop like you're playing Skyrim.
It was understandable back then that boomers dealing with new technology would just try to copy to the world they knew and understood into cyberspace. It is unforgivable that now the people who were kids back then are trying to do the same same thing just because they're completely incapable of coming up with any new ideas of their own. The malls in real life have already been killed off by Web 2.0. Why would Web 3.0 be based on nostalgia for the 1990s?

Just wait until we all live in pods. Then the wide open malls of the metaverse are going to be a delight to wander and drink our blockchain-authenticated sim-Mountain Dews in. They'll even have e-fountains you can make wishes with by tossing in Bitcoins!

It's the same kind of reason Alexa exists. People like scifi concepts without thinking whether they're actually useful or not. Saying 'computer, turn on the lights' is cool and Star Trek-y but actually is less useful than just pressing a lightswitch. There's absolutely nothing going for some VR universe other than that it sounds cool and futuristic but that's not how you build an actually useful product.

Alexas good for disabled people and arthritic boomers and that's about it, idk why they'd want to use something they have to walk around for though

Yes, and no. It's second life without the charm, and there's not really a billion dollars, that number leans heavily on their internet funbux price which, as we all know, are almost entirely illusory.
