Depends where you spend your time on the internet I suppose. As for the places like internet forums, I'd say people start to find stupid humor funny.
What constitutes stupid humor?
Sorry if I'm being discursive.
Low quality stuff, you know, the kind of jokes teens make in middle school, basically all the trolling and shitposting you see on the internet that has very little effort put into it, yet people find it funny.
Could you call it conventional "low" comedy?
Many people don't seem to have appreciation or creativity for high comedy, satire is barely even recognizable anymore, biting humor will "trigger" someone, witty dialogue is now thought boring, and criticism of life is confined to pettiness. Huh. I think humor might have suffered as a whole from the Internet, actually :\
At least conventional views of it, anyway.
Humour will change as times wear on, the only thing the internet has done is accelerated the process.
Are the changes beneficial though?
It keeps our culture from stagnating, so I would argue that change is generally a positive thing.
I'll play devil's advocate,
However, the way in which it influences our senses of humor, by appealing to low forms of comedy appeals to a lesser degree of intelligence and this suggests backwardness. If intelligence can be defined in part as critically containing the ability to utilize knowledge and higher forms of comedy utilize knowledge in effectively conveying greater meaning through complexity, low comedic forms prevalent today don't appeal to intelligence conveying meaning other than by simple association. This negatively influences our population because it directly appeals to less intelligent association, which we in our browsing habits internalize.
This is of course assuming that the only forms of entertainment to be found on the internet are of the lowbrow variety
Not necessarily, it does imply a majority of them are, or a quantity of them warranting discussion like this, at any rate.

I'm not sure if it's true or not, I find a lot of stuff here that supposed to be funny, incredibly stupid.
Like the CIA thing.
And sometimes you make stupid posts and the likes pour in.
I have since stopped trying to make sense of this forum.

It's more of a distraction than an escape.
A distraction that leads me away from and towards escapism in strange ways.
Come to think of it, it's a lot like Lordran.

Bacon is worst girl, Lily is best girl.
This is an objective truth.
Bacon<Lily
Mathemagics can prove anyfin
Indeed, it proves why Lily is best/
tbh, I have no idea who either of them are.
The things I do for senpai...
I notice you all the time, half the time because of your text, the rest of the time because of your avatar.
Someday Senpai will notice me for my personality...
Someday
Post more, maybe you'll become best girl.
I'll be the best there ever was.
You'll have to learn how to link properly first.
It shows up on my screen fine.
Linking to fanpop does that, use other sources.
Deviantart hasn't failed me before...

We could also argue whether karma is an actual real thing, but I don't think that would actually go anywhere.
Karma is a real thing. It's also called 'action and reaction.' The idea that karma is some mystical supernatural force that dishes out punishment for bad deeds is just a misconception of the original meaning behind the concept.
i just call it newton's third law
there's no reason to have the mystic buddhist-ass mumbo jumbo in there if what we have works just fine
It wasn't "mystic mumbo jumbo." It was just a concept that developed by observing the interdependent nature of things and it was called karma. There was no newton's third law thousands of years ago in south east asia to take its place.
Have you read a book relating how science and eastern philosophies have similar conceptualizations of realities through different means? It's called the "Tao of Physics."
Nah. Sounds pretty interesting though.
Overall it's very interesting, and I recommend it.

There isn't a meaning but what you define yourself.
So mine involves freedom to self realize and explore my potential in order to live to an actual space age and master disciplines I find important and intriguing.
