Chat Roulette

[jrrtubbs]

Holy fuck, has anyone been to this site? I read a thing about it today and went on for exactly 4 seconds (I'm in class and have people behind me, see below)

So, basically it's a website where people set up their webcams and get matched (randomly) with other webcams to chat. The first one I saw was someone (male) penetrating himself. I've read some blogs and stuff about it, and it looks like it has the potential to be hilarious. Someone wound up talking to Paris Hilton. But, you also run the risk of seeing a dude putting something in his butthole. BEWARE!

oh my god. I hadn't heard of this until two nights ago, and I had no idea what the heck it was about. THank you for explaining. ANd......gross. Or Good?

YESSSSSS!!!! Chatroulette is taking over the world!

It's way fun. So many weirdos and creeps and sooooo many penises. It's hilarious too because for most users its very based on physical appearance - if someone thinks you're ugly, they'll likely "NEXT" you. And I find that hilarious.

Finally the internet is getting that INSTANT judgmental attitude it so desperatly needs. Wait.. my comment was kinda snarky but calling out how snarky the internet... . WORM HOLE!!!!

[Jenks]

To clarify, there are some cool, normal people on there but the weird/dark stuff is way more interesting, in my opinion.

And yeah, the internet is filled with judgment but with chatroulette, you're opting in on the meat market.

Speaking of worm-hole....

This damn thing took away 14 hours of my life this weekend. Obsessed!

I found it to be hilarious. I reccomend being drunk with a friend to have the most fun with it. But, when I was flying solo I ended up having an awesome 2-hour conversation with a British twink, so that was pretty great. I also took some quizzes from Cosmo with some Sorth Carolinan sorority girls, did animal impressions with a 60-year old Russian guy, and saw a lot of girls who looked like Shirley Manson but had no idea who Shirley Manson was.

I will be doing it in drag tomorrow. Can't wait.

I don't mind the penises.

Just play safe, it's already getting trolled hard by Btards and goons (NSFW):

But some nice fun is being had, as well:

I find myself being thankful I do not have a webcam. I find the idea of the site disturbing, but would probably be hooked nonetheless and I am trying to write another book and don't need the distraction. (Yeah, that was probably a run-on sentence.)

would it be ok if i used this as my signature if i can figure out how to make one.

Did this with some friends last night. All sorts of dicks. Chatted with people from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and CHICAGO. It's really crazy, random human interaction. Some people on it actually seemed very lonely. Very strange/cool/fascinating/scary. The idea of children having access to this is terrifying to me.

[jrrtubbs]

I've been spinning the roulette for a few days now. My most common experience has gone like this.

Log in, dick, dick, 3 guys in a dorm who call me fat, bored guy, bored guy, girl who looks at me funny and disconnects, dick, 5 guys in a dorm who call me fat, a guy in an Obama mask dancing in his underwear, girl blowing a guy, dick, dick, dick, and one really cool guy I talked to for 20 minutes.

I think this can be a really cool tool, but unfortunately the world is a terrible place.

You can catch Ashton Kutcher on chatroulette.

Just one more reason to avoid chatroulette.

Go for it.

[Eric Pedersen!]

I wonder if the positive experiences can make this thing stay open for a long time as a great thing, as opposed to a short lived (or maybe it would be long lived) weird sex-video-chat thing. The idea that people from all over the world are on it make it super amazing.

[jjjjjjoeyyy]

I like the blow jobs idea.

[Griggs]

Please, please post more experiences that you've had.

I'm very intrigued by this, but don't want to go on it.

However, I like hearing everyone's stories.

Take the chatroulette plunge! It's incredibly anonymous, so even though you feel vulnerable, you're very safe (except for all the people recording it apparently).

This video can show you the mechanics of how it feels:

I think this quote applies to nearly every innovation of the last 25 years.
