pornosphere

The pornosphere is a dense layer of internet transport that is stratified in download speed, with faster layers higher up and slower layers farther down. This is in contrast to the spamosphere near the internet's surface, which is slower higher up and faster farther down. The pornosphere is situated between about 100 kbps and 1400 kbps at moderate connectivity. The pornosphere sits directly above the spamosphere and directly below the tunesosphere.

The vertical stratification, with faster layers above and slower layers below, makes the pornosphere dynamically stable: there is no regular convection and associated turbulence in this part of the internet.

As we can see on the map, a high pressure system was building up in the pornosphere today, which was moving from prague to moscow.

tfh

Abbreviation for Tin Foil Hat, also tinfoil hat, a general term for a piece of headgear made from one or more sheets of tin foil, aluminium foil, or other similar material. Some people wear the hats in the belief that they act to shield the brain from such influences as electromagnetic fields, or against mind control and/or mind reading. The concept has become a popular stereotype and term of derision; in Internet culture, the phrase serves as a byword for paranoia.

There were a lot of tfh types at the ufo convention.

internet

It's a series of tubes.

They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck.

It's a series of tubes.

And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.
