I Tried Omegle So You Don’t Have To
I heard about a site called Omegle. It’s where you go to chat anonymously with strangers. I decided it try it (so you don’t have to). I’m not brave enough to try Omegle’s video chat (I imagine there are many Farve-eque guys there), but I did have the following text chats.
You can decide if it’s a good way to spend your time:
Omegle Chat Number 1:
You: Hi
Stranger: Who are you
You: I’m a mom. you are?
Stranger: A mom.
Stranger: Really.
You: Really? Where?
Stranger: Shush, new fag.
You: And why did you logon to Omegle if you don’t mind my asking?
Stranger: I’m from the world wide web.
Stranger: TO TROLL NEWBFAGS
You: Well, you certainly troll effectively.
Stranger: Sarcastic faggot is sarcastic.
Stranger: Hahaha.
Stranger: Mothers ALWAYS ASK FOR IT!
You: Is faggot an insult? or are you gay?

Omegle Chat Number 2:
You’re now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
Official messages from Omegle will not be sent with the label ‘Stranger:’. Strangers claiming to represent Omegle are lying.

Stranger: I dont know how to explain it just kinda the social aspect
You: Do you prefer it to twitter?
Stranger: Yes
You: What would you do if you were stuck here with another guy? I’m guessing that’s not what you wanted?

Ugh, I realized after he/she disconnected that I must sound pervvy.
Parents: go ahead and blacklist this site from computers that your kids might use.
Everyone else: don’t bother.
