It is where current pop-culture is born.
Reddit is a cleaner version, but 4chan was the wild west from which it spawned.
The thing about 4chan is that you have to be wise enough to deduce the trolling from factual posts (something I think you are more than capable of).
There is a lot of vulgar things there, but I just don't pay attention to those bits.
I generally visit the weapons board, as there are some military members who frequent and talk about a lot of things that I find interesting.
The "random" board /b/ is the crazy board where most kids go and post unspeakable things.
I stay out of /b/.
Truth be told, it is probably a government honeypot now, to catch hackers and child porn peoples.
The political board is terribly racist and is saturated by edgy teens promoting Nazism, but on occasion there are some deep discussions.
The most fascinating thing about 4chan is that news pops up there before ANY national organization reports it.
I knew about Bin Laden's death 20 minutes before it was ever on any news feed.
Meh.... the place is just a place to waste time and shake your head at humanity.
