"the dark web" is police fascist fearmongering for tech that lets people access the internet from censored countries

Counterpoint: it sounds super cool

The dark web is a specific section of the *deep web that can be accessed only using specific software configurations or authorizations

The name make sense because it's in fact hidden, dark and makes quite a bit of sense, the problem is that dark things do make people quite a bit scared and that was then weaponized

And i say that because i don't want to go against whatever you said but to expand on the (in my opinion, too) simplistic view you shared

*the deep web is that huge chunk of the internet that is not indexed by any search engine

there are onion search engines and directories, and "the dark web" refers to ANY onion site

I am sure i need to use the TOR network to use an onion search engine

Edit: apparently what i said is wrong

I am sure I need the WWW network to use a search engine

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
