#OFFTOPIC For Dummies #2 - Copy Pastas
[b]Copy Pastas[/b]
A Copy Pasta is a block of text that is repeatedly copied and pasted over and over again, like its name implies. These include, and are not limited to, emojis, song lyrics, movie scripts, quotes, or text posted in a nonsensical way. Usually found in forums, copy pastas are used to derail topics of conversation and are often extremely annoying to read. Popular Copy Pastas can usually be found over the internet, usually copied and then, well, pasted.
A good example is the Pacer Test Copy Pasta, based on the popular fitness activity which was part of the mandatory Physical Fitness Test for elementary students:
[i]"The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start."[/i]
Copy Pastas are usually very easily spotted, because they usually leave you going, "Huh? What did that have to do with anything?"
[spoiler]#OFFTOPIC For Dummies is a series of threads in which I try to go over the various things I've found on these forums during my stay here. They may not always be accurate, but I'll try to include as many facts as I can.
