Using the internet for free food?

GreyOrange writes "With all the offers for free food on the internet how can a hungry person differitiate between the bogus ones and the ones that fill the tummy? One legitimate offer I've found so far is from www.jellybelly.com were they give you a free sample. But theres a tremendous amount of websites that are missleading and offering food in exchange for credit application and other horrible things like spam and never living up to their end of the deal. Got any good websites for free edibles, how about other things that might be of equal value that are not bogus. How about some methods you have picked up for all you veterans out there. Is there a directery out there that is true to its word, how about a wikipedia page?"

Hell yeah... first it was Katz with his innane writing and lack of knowledge of technology... now its the gustapo editor. Good to see he's still ruining /. for the rest of us!

It is currently 11:23. Maybe a minute or two later by the time I post this but.......people don't just read slashdot from one time zone.

As for Food online, surely someone has a tale or two about some 'high speed' chili.......

April Fools: A Modest Proposal

[fermion]

For four years straight, clueless, witless, and styless cowards have been criticizing the articles on /. These are the same people that post, and probably leave roomd to whine to their mothers, about the unfairness of the editors and the world in general. These are the same people that moderate the same lame joke up every time they have points, but moderate any novel humor as flamebait. These are the same people whose minds and lives are so empty that all they can see are the spelling and grammar errors. Their posts are devoid of logic, relevance, or any meaningful content.

Om short, these mentally ill people believe that they are right, everyone else is wrong, and in a proper functioning world all communications would be about how wonderful and grand they are. Clearly these could be considered a vile and useless group of people. Clearly we could call for their eradication not only from the /. but also from the face of the Earth. Clearly many would support us in that cause.

However, we are not a vengeful people. Also, I believe that as a group we are a relatively wealthy people. I am sure we have hundreds of internet millionaires, and probably dozens of MS multi-millionaires. I am also sure that /. has large numbers of less wealthy but well off denizens. Therefore I suggest that we set up a charity that will provide online counseling services for these lost souls. I am sure there are many counselors out there that we could contact the service to. Perhaps even in India. I believe the online counseling is the best we can hope for because these people tend to have trouble getting out of their chair, much less out of the house, for mental and physical reasons.

My hope is that slowly these crazies will replaced their delusions with more appropriate images of reality. I would also hope that these people might find healthy relationships, rather than stalking supermodels or molesting persons they bought in Mexico. Such an exercise would truly be worthwhile if it rid /. of the meaningless tripe typified by the parent.

[Ed. note: I assume the parent is flamebait and not a joke as it was an AC.]
