If pokemon was crossed with chatroulette?
Yeah, that's the name of the thing. All the pictures that you see of chatroulette right now are actual chat roulette users. And we actually recorded some actual people laughing their heads off right next to some actual chat roulette victims. That was the first real evidence of people actually getting really, really mad at each other. And so, the concept of chatroulette was born. We actually built the website where you go, Today is Chatroulette, clicked through a hundred different topics, and then got to see a montage of all the people who'd ever been on the site. We even got to see a cartoon character named Popcorn who would randomly appear in chat as a response to every question. We tried a few things. We could make the site more amusing by just making it less interactive, like instead of having five choices, having one. But the fundamental idea remained the same: if you're going to have a website that people are mad at, you better make the website very, very frustrating to use. And so we did just that. And so the fundamental idea of the site was that instead of just having one big random question box, we gave users thirty or forty choices in various topics, and we said, You can either take thirty seconds to get used to the idea, or you can spend thirty seconds getting used to the idea. And so we made sure that if you clicked through to a whole new topic, like, What's the difference between a compliment and a compliment to someone else, you would get a whole bunch of examples of people laughing their heads off. And we even had a box that you clicked when you were on the website, I am being sarcastic, so you would get a bunch of screenshots of people being sarcastic. And we also had a I don't care box, so we didn't think that that was a very serious idea, but a lot of the people that we have now to be very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very serious security bug fix.

The first one, this is an actual image. Guest: Mm-hmm. Russ: So this is a chicken. We've republished it, from Wikimedia Commons. So here
