Proof that Plato's Ring of Gyges was a prophecy.
In Plato's Republic, Socrates proposes what a person would do if they were given the Ring of Gyges, which turns a person invisible and essentially anonymous. Would they still have an incentive to be just under such circumstances? We now know what's like because of the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory. Let's just say, the results do not reflect well on man.

An excellent example of Engrish. I found this phrase a definition of South Korea submitted on September 5, 2003 by someone named Park SJ. Look up the definition and see for yourself. Sounded so hilarious that it deserved its own entry in UD. Has the potential to become the new all your base are belong to us.

Symptoms include fear of rain (a common factor in connections cutting off) and repeatedly pressing buttons for no reason due to refreshing web pages so often.

The process of using incorrect but more attractive stats on a dating profile in order to get more hits. This phrase was used by Lester on NBC's TV series, Chuck (Episode 214, "Chuck Versus the Suburbs"). The concept can also be seen in Brad Paisley's hit song "Online".
I'm 5'4" and weigh 425 pounds... but you should see the hits I get on eHarmony. With the internet hotness conversion factor, I'm now 6'5" and I have abs of steel.

A fictitious regulation supposedly making law enforecement officials unable to persecute you for your collection of pirated videos. Started by internet media 'traders' to protect themselves against being reported to officals, it is now a euphemisim for no one really caring enough about your stash of bootlegged movies to do anything about it.
As Quoted From An Actual Trader's site:
"If you enter this site with intention to use the information herein to prosecute any person affiliated with this site, you are violating Code 341.322.12 of the Internet Privacy Act of 1995 which stipulates that none may threaten my ISP or any other company hosting these pages."
Clueless Person: "Wait, I thought this movie wasn't out on DVD yet."
Trader: "No worries, I'm protected under the Internet Privacy Act of 1995."

Internet Troll Personality Disorder (ITPD) is characterized by a persistent pattern of obstructing of on-topic discussion in online forums and comment threads. People afflicted with ITPD may purposefully present themselves as being inappropriately sexually provocative or racist. Often times they disingenuously express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, pretend to throw arbitrary tantrums, and never hesitate to contribute absurd, non-sequitur remarks at any perceived opportunity.
The etiology of ITPD is still being researched, but scholars agree that afflicted individuals usually enjoy some type of unfulfilling (and unsupervised) employment situation where they have access to computers with internet connections.
Guy #1: So Dean got fired?
Guy #2: Yeah, PLUS he's facing CRIMINAL charges of harassment by wire. You see, someone who Dean was harassing, via the internet, traced his IP address to one of our company's computers. So...
Guy #1: So, good 'ol Dean was bored at work all the time, and this is just another classic case of Internet Troll Personality Disorder, huh?
