Recently while dining with a few close friends, someone brought up the internet and one thing lead to another (sadly not sex). My cousin Dakota, jokingly at first, said “imagine if someone printed out the internet. Man, that would be impossible, though.” I have an awful sense of humor, so I replied with both a very serious tone and look, “I don’t think it’s impossible. In fact, how much do you wanna bet I can print it out in about a few months?” We all shared a laugh but soon after much discussion, I decided I really wanted to try it as a bet. He took me up on my offer, so now I have about six months to print out the entire internet. The prize? $50, but we’d always argue which is better; the North (where he’s from) or the South (where I’m from). So I’ll rub that in his face too, I suppose.

Right now I have the most popular websites knocked out. All top search engines, reference sites (Wikipedia and such), and most popular forums printed out and in stacks in a separate room. I’ve also gotten people from around the town to help me out. So far I have spent well over 50 dollars and probably more than 500 trees on paper, but once I’m finished I’m sure I’ll make news somewhere.

If you want to help, please post any websites you know of for me to print. I have a list saved on my computer of each one I’ve printed so far and will be adding on constantly due to the nearly limitless size of the internet. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I will be sure to note everyone that will help by posting in this thread on the first page of the final stack when I’m done, whenever that will be.Log in to see images!

Wish me luck!

You need to print the clbumics such as:

– goatse

– tubgirl

– lemonparty

– meatspin

etc.

You should also print out Flamebate and the entirety of Forumwarz – represent! Then you should begin to tackle news websites and their archives.

Haha. I have all the memes printed out, they were my first ones before I started on real websites.

I’ll start a new character and begin printing the pages soon once I knock out the ones Fran sent.

I really hope that this is a joke.

It’s Ayn Rands. The only jokes here aren’t funny and are about cancer.

So either help with some websites or go back to RP. Log in to see images!

Youtube. Don’t forget all the comments.

Remember to go to lyrics websites – and also print out every song.

These are gonna be my biggest time consumer. Currently I got 0-9 and A-C on Lyrics.com but it felt like it would never end. I’m putting them off til later on- probably last things I do. Maybe get someone else to do it if it gets to me.

Big forums. World of Warcraft (USA and Europe) and other MMO’s. Something Awful. Hell, even 4chan.org.

4chan is going to be difficult, since it is constantly updating and always deleting the old threads. You’d have to be on it ever second of the day to capture every last post.

Is this the entire internet at a certain point in time? Cos you can print out an entire large forum, but it’ll have a whole bunch of new content added moments later. And what about livejournel-esque sites? Webcomics? These are huge communities that keep having new content added every day.

Frankly I’m impressed that you’ve managed even wikipedia… and I don’t think this is possible. There’s not enough paper in the world. Good luck though!

*Edit* ^^^ Answered, but still a hell of a challenge.

Don’t forget porn sites.
