In 2007, a 4chan user revealed the coordinates of Emily Sander’s body after someone successfully guessed their own post number.

      Idk what that means.

      Was the op the murderer? Why would “guessing their own post number” lead to that?

    2. ’00s /b/ was fucking wild. You really had to be there to grasp how absolutely bugfuck nuts it was

      According to police, Sander and a man they identified as 24-year-old Israel Mireles were seen leaving a bar in east El Dorado on November 23, 2007. This was the last time Sander was seen alive.[^([8])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Emily_Sander#cite_note-ABC1-8) Later, blood was discovered in Mireles’ motel room next door to an Italian restaurant where he worked as a waiter[^([9])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Emily_Sander#cite_note-eag001-9) and Sander’s car was found still parked at the bar. The rental car Mireles was driving was found abandoned on November 27 in [Vernon, Texas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernon,_Texas), where he has relatives.[^([10])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Emily_Sander#cite_note-AOL@News-10)

    4. 4chan was fucked up. There was a guy who said he was going to murder his girlfriend, egged on by users he proceeds to do it and post pictures, complaining how difficult it was to strangle someone.

    5. I saw maybe as many as 10 different dead bodies posted by the killer on 4chan.

      Actually I guess more than that considering there were mass shootings.

      I think this is fake. Not one of the outlets covering the murder mention anything about an anonymous tip. The articles even explain the investigative work that went into finding physical evidence, such as blood and the killer’s rental car, that led authorities to the body. You’d think a sensational detail like a 4chan tip would have been widely reported.

      Not gonna lie, /b/ was … kinda insane. You had everything from like … people posting completely normal dinners, to completely fucked up beheaded animals, to … worse.

      I remember seeing a post to something on 4chan on a different much more normal website years back that really fucked me up. The post was something like “Wtf is happening on 4chan”. Being fairly new to the ways of the web I didn’t know that I should have never clicked a 4chan link. Think a guy killed a prostitute or his girlfriend or something and put up photos with a play by play. And mentioned she had a kid or 2. Was fucking harrowing.

      Thinking of 4chan bring up some crazy memories of the bonkers shit you could see on there. The best analogy I ever heard came from 4chan itself
