Normally when a guy named Jay starts to tell you a story about Mt Everest that means you're watching a really good Mr Show sketch. On I'M FROM THE INTERNET, it means that a podcast ostensibly about the history of the internet is about to spend nearly two hours talking about mountaineering. It turns out, even one of the most remote places on Earth has been made worse by the internet.

This week we are joined by law expert Charles Star. Check out the No Homework podcast and his other links at https://linktr.ee/ugarles

FurAffinity's domination of the furry art scene continues into the 2010s as it weathers poor moderation decisions, corporate ownership, and the American healthcare system.

After 20 years online, the institutional furry art community FurAffinity.net has recently been struggling to pay their bills. While things seemed to have stabilized for now, it's a great excuse to discuss the history of the site! We're looking at the primordial ooze of small furry websites and forums that existed before FurAffinity, its initial creation, and some of the early turbulence of its reign.

You're probably familiar with the classic Machinima adaptation of Halflife: Fulllife Consequences by the Fanfiction.net user Squirrelking. Half-Life wasn't the only franchise Squirrelking wrote about, and Squirrelking isn't the only identity they used online.

Over the course of my life, Wikipedia has gone from the place you weren't allowed to use in school to the only good website left. If you feel the need to add a "citation needed" to that last statement, you'll feel right at home among the unsung heroes of today's episode: The Wikipedia editors that work hard to make sure we never encounter this fearsome rogue's gallery whenever we check the free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

Webcomics have been a thing since 1985! This week we're talking about one of the few first-generation webcomics that is still active decades later: Sabrina Online. This 1996 slice-of-life comic strip about an improbably attractive and underdressed computer nerd might have been a bit of a punching bag in the early days of the internet, but 30 years later it's doing better than you might think for reasons you might not expect.

With Adult Swim's breakout sci-fi comedy adventure show in its ninth season, you might be wondering "Wait, nine seasons?!". We're going back to season three, when a joke about McDonald's dipping sauce got way out of hand and became the second most embarrassing disaster to come out of Rick & Morty's success.

We had the internet back in 2001! So one of the most infamous days in American history has a live real-time record of peoples' reactions, if you know where to look. We're going back to the Something Awful forums to relive that awful day and see how people reacted.

So many episodes of our show have focused on ripoffs, if only there was somewhere on the internet you could complain about being ripped off. Good news! That place exists, and it's called RipoffReport.com

The bad news? It's infested with both literal and metaphorical clowns.

The ending of Mass Effect 3 has left Bioware being showered in criticism, abuse, and cupcakes. With the impending departure of their founders and a decade of slow decline on the horizon, they're rushing to try and fix what they can of Commander Shepard's final hours.

In the time it took to record and release this episode, several game studios have laid off staff while countless creative decisions have been made based on minimizing Gamer Rage. But not too long ago, those were both much less common occurrences in the world of gaming. Mass Effect 3 might not be the first time fan backlash and corporate decision-making have clashed online, but it's hard not to see Gamergate looming on the horizon when you look back at the conclusion of Commander Shepard's adventures.

John Wood's custody battle over his amputated leg with local entrepreneur and fame hound Shannon Whisnant has escalated from feud between two local oddballs to an international piece of human interest. We finally get to see the foot. Judge Mathis is getting involved. This is still technically about a website, it counts.

150 episodes, can you believe it? What better way to mark the occasion than talking about the world of horny video game mods! Specifically, the infamous Cinematic Mod for Half-Life 2. A German man spent his 40s lovingly adding everything Half-Life 2 needed to become a proper big American blockbuster: more rubble, more explosions, and Alyx Vance's polygonal cervix.

Selling independent media on the internet has always been difficult. With recent angst about the lack of success for indie game developers on platforms like Steam, we look back at one of 2016's most forgotten titles: Tuebor, a Michigan-themed cyberpunk shooter that struggled to maintain a double digit playerbase. Not even the Imgurian community could save this one.

If you follow weird internet stories, you've probably heard of Garfield Eats. The improbable Garfield-themed Toronto pizzeria and its manic founder made headlines when the restaurant was founded and closed, but he's been up to some real mischief in the half decade since his restaurant closed its doors. In part one we're exploring the opening and closing of Garfield Eats, part two will document the long and slow descent caused by the bad breakup of restaurateur and cartoon cat.

Brand Twitter was one of the most obnoxious social media phenomenon of the 2010s. Our processed foods and novelty sanitary napkins wanted to be our friends, and since that was how Twitter made money we had no choice but to share space with them. In this two parter we're looking back at that era through one of its most outspoken participants: Nathan Allebach, the #relatable millennial voice behind Steak-Umms.

Remember that one young white dude that was in a ton of movies in the late 2000s and early 2010s? No, not Shia LaBeouf, think smarmier and more frictionless. That's right, Joseph Gordon-Levitt! He was cool in Inception and Looper was good, I wonder what he's been up to since then...

In the back half of the 1990s, polyethylene pellets could be more valuable than gold if you knew who to sell them to. Beanie Babies were not only a crash course on the perils of speculative assets, but one of the foundations of early e-commerce and online community building. In the first of three parts, we look at the history of the teddy bear and Ty Warner's early stabs at the plush market as well as the early years of Beanie Babies and the inception of their website.

Hi-ya! Karate kicking our way into the new millennium, we go back to the Something Awful forums once again. A poster named Scoots Magoo is making some jokes about Vin Diesel, and a man named Ian Spector is going to spend the next twenty years taking credit for them. Meanwhile, Chuck Norris uses his newfound youth fame to espouse some very old man talking points.

For gamers of a certain age, the name Jack Thompson still provokes reflexive sneers. Despite being permanently disbarred almost 20 years ago, this former Florida lawyer still looms large when we look back and wonder why the gamers are Like That. We're going to be talking about the time the internet made Jack Thompson's dream game, but before we get there we have over a decade of litigation against radio and the music industry to get through. From openly gay liberal shock jock Neil Rogers to rap pioneer Luther Campbell of 2 Live Crew, Thompson spent the first part of his life being publicly humiliated by people way cooler than him.

One of the upsides of not having kids is not having to give a shit about childrens television. But back in the 2000s, a bunch of grown-ups got mad at Sesame Street for something they Children's Television Workshop didn't actually do because someone on the internet said it happened. Outrage is a sometimes food, and it's sometime!

Today would have been Fredrick Brennan's 32nd birthday. He died in his sleep last month, so here's Fred's partner to memorialize the 8chan founder who realized he was wrong, got out, and did what he could to take down the monster he helped create.

His family wanted to keep the news private until now for personal reasons, so we recorded this a couple weeks after his death but are only releasing it now that the news has officially broken. Don't worry, there's no crying in the episode. Unfortunately, the audio quality is really bad because due to the circumstances Jay didn't get to record in his usual spot. I'm sorry that one of our most historically significant episodes is also one of our worst-sounding ones, but given the circumstances I hope you will forgive.

It's 2016. You work at a Murphy Bed store. You have to go to an after-hours the party the owner is throwing for his business partner. And then she makes everyone watch her sing a four minute long story song in a racist accent. For you, this was just a bad evening. For Jennifer Murphy, this is going to be the rest of her life.

The internet is for everybody, even pretty people. That said, when you see a three-parter focused on 2003's Miss Oregon you know things are going to get weird. After an appearance on Donald Trump's 2000s reality show The Apprentice, professional pretty person Jennifer Murphy found her new calling as a professional fame hound. And with the 2000s reality boom on the way out, an exciting new frontier of fame is reaching people like her: YouTube.

You don't have to be Jean Piaget or Lev Vygotsky to appreciate how amusingly off-kilter a child's view of the world can be. In 2009, an emerging independent cartoonist named Ethan Nicolle teamed up with his five year-old little brother to illustrate the wacky stories he would make up. The internet loved it, but Ethan's later projects turned out to be a little less universally-beloved. This week on I'M FROM THE INTERNET, a cautionary tale about how promising young talent ends up working with Rob Schneider.

Since 1996, The ChildCare Action Project has reviewed over 1400 films using the factually accurate and objectively correct WISDOM scale. From R-rated horror films to G-rated kids movies, lay pastor Thomas Carder has performed decades of cinematic kabbalah and selflessly shared the results with the internet. He may not have prevented satanic films like Matilda from corrupting a generation with sin, but we can't say he didn't warn us!

Living in the age of high profile remasters and rereleases, it can be easy to forget how difficult it used to be to get old games. In the late 1990s a Thai woman named Sarinee Achavanuntakul launched a website that would give a generation of gamers access to thousands of classic titles for free, despite the best attempts of the video game industry's lobbying group to shut it down. If that wasn't cool enough, she's been spending the past couple decades fighting to make the internet a better place for journalists under the Thai monarchy. A feelgood episode for this Thanksgiving week!
