Internet Inertia

Usually accompanied by mild insomnia, it is the feeling one has as they try to cease browsing the internet but find they are unable to stop. The result is that one slowly drifts on into the unending space of the web.

Thought #1: I should really go to bed...
Thought #2: No... Just one more link.
(...)
Thought #73: Oh god: I've been drifting for 5 hours. A bad case of Internet Inertia tonight.

Internet mirage

In social networking, an internet mirage is when a user is offline or inactive but appears online or currently active to another computer. This only becomes apparent once the user of that computer attempts to communicate with them. Often, this leads to paranoid feelings of unpopularity, because the user erroneously assumes that the person left because they didn't want to speak to them.

Simon: "DAAVE my good mate, how're you doing?"

Computer: "David is now offline."

Simon: ":O What a douche!... oh wait, it was probably just an internet mirage... or was it?"

Internet Spelunker

An internet spelunker is someone who wanders the web looking to find unusual, old, and hard to reach information. They may do this in many ways including but not limited to browsing TOR, deep webbing, torrenting, looking for obscure search terms, browing 4chan, and following links on defunct web sites. Internet spelunkers often have large collections of unusual images and strange web addresses they have found and can find almost anything you're looking for nomatter how obscure even if it may take them a little while to find it.

Damnit, 4chan has failed to find the source of that pic. Anyone know an internet spelunker?

Internet Cowboy

A term coined in November of 2020 referring to the men on social media pretending to be cowboys, or pretending to do activities most generally considered to be those of actual landowners and beef producers. They most generally live in a populated urban center (town), renters, drive a truck that has the suspension altered in way to guarantee life-long front end problems, gives free advertising to hunting/outdoor companies (Salt Life) in the form of stickers on the back windshield of said wore-out truck, wears apparel designed for those who rodeo and/or work cattle when in actuality they are sacred of large animals. Other characteristics: Avid hunters of other people’s land, over extended on credit, 50% chance non-completion of high school, when asked what there favorite music is...it’s always Red Dirt.

Kyle, Chad, and Derek have really turned into a bunch of internet cowboys since they retired from gay porn.

Internet Day

An internet day is a day on which you can use the internet.

For most people, every day is an internet day, so the term is useless. However, when you cannot afford a monthly internet subscription, and you have to buy internet on a day by day basis, the term takes on a whole new meaning.

Flatmate 1: Oh did you hear about .....?
Flatmate 2: No?
Flatmate 1: Google it.

Flatmate 2: It's not an internet day...

Flatmate 1: Internet Day?
Flatmate 2: INTERNET DAY, YES MATE.
