F5 Bombing is the act of holding down or rapidly pressing the F5 key in order to refresh the page, and therefore make the view count 'explode,' which is where the "bomb" part comes in.

Often used in forums where the threads have view count (such as 4Chan or Reddit, more commonly Roblox).

Used mostly by trolls, in order to make the view count seem substantially higher than it should be.

It's also a parody of the word F-bomb, which is basically the non-swear version of "fuck."
A: Hey dude, why does this thread have a lot of views compared to the other threads?
B: Someone must've F5 bombed this thread.
A: What a troll."
B: Same.

F5 Bombing 

A tradition on the Roblox forums. As the forums have pathetic software, you can easily do this trick. You go to your/someones topic and hold F5, to make the post get alot of views. This is a form of trolling as popular posts get a star as an icon, which annoys other users on the forum.
Me: Let's F5Bomb some shit!

*Holds F5*

Me: Yay, i held F5!

Someone Else: FFFFUUUU ANOTHER TROLL F5 BOMBING EVERYTHING AARGH REPORT REPORT REPORT

Reporting is reporting someone who spams/posts adult content.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
