4chan is a place where anonymous people can post whatever they want with no account.

As they say on their own website - "only a fool would take anything posted here as fact."

...I am beginning to realize that 2007 was 16 years ago. There's a whole generation of people who were born after 4chan had its heyday. People who don't even know what 4chan is.

So, uh, no. That's not him. 4chan just does that stuff.

Hi, actual Tom Scott here

I can confirm that this 4chan post was indeed made by me and that the story of me making out with this guys girlfriend is also true. Chick had jugs like you wouldn't believe it. Bitch as loser just sat there and cried. Anyway, I'm off to Poland to film a video about a really interesting public toilet they have there.

Tom Scott out.

PS: Matt Gray is also here with me.

Hi it's me, Matt Grey. I also do youtube, sometimes.

The actual Tom Scott here. OP literally loves nothing more than to constantly deepthroat donkey dick.

  • Will you date me?
  • Haha, sorry, Tom Scott stole my phone and typed that!

Guys... What if a video about an interesting Polish toilet actually comes out next week? Then we'd have really been pwned.

Next video, he's standing in a volcanic wasteland or something

"I'm here at what is widely considered to be the harshest, most inhospitable, shit hole of the planet. This volcano is irrelevant because I'm talking about..."

He pulls up a laptop and points it at the screen

"...4chan"

Yes, please contact the cyber police.

The person claiming to be Tom Scott? No, but 4chan is.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago

Nothing on the internet ever happened, but that's at least doubly true on 4chan.

Man 4chan in the late 00s was some good shit. I miss it and Mootykins

[–] asyncrosaurus@programming.dev 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There is no way in hell he would ever post to 4chan.

He made a long weepy post on his site how he would never use Reddit of all places, and how embarrassed he would be if "real world people" ever thought he was on it. He is exactly as insufferable and self righteous as you can imagine.

[–] Stumblinbear@pawb.social 5 points 1 year ago

I mean he's got a point tbh

The Tim Traveler is pretty good, I enjoy his videos more that Tom Scott's.

[–] MoodyRaincloud@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago

I agree. Personally Tom Scott is not my thing. Tim Traveller is more approachable (for Europeans at least).

I particularly love the random "typical left leaning holier than thou type" dig 😂 Like, how can any normal person be so hung up on someone else's political leaning that has nothing to do with the content they put out or even the context of the thread

[–] accideath@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sounds like him. He doesn’t have a subreddit for fairly similar reasons.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's probably his response copied from someplace else. Notice the holidays bit that doesnt fit the context.

[–] accideath@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yea but it was posted on Dec 21st
