Laws of the Internet

The February 20, 2021 issue of Roger’s Bacon newsletter has an entertaining list of laws of the Internet. Many have been around for decades and are as valid as ever. Here are few:

  • Badger’s Law – “any website with the word ‘Truth’ in the URL has none in the posted content.”

  • The Wadsworth Constant – “the first 30% of any video can be skipped because it contains no worthwhile or interesting information.”

  • The Law of Fakery – “Anything fake which attracts enough attention will have some people vehemently proclaiming it’s real. Anything real which attracts enough attention will have some people vehemently proclaiming it’s fake. Corollary: If the creator confesses that it was fake, some people will still claim it’s real and call the confession a fake.”
