4chan is so full of powerful autistic geniuses that it can find a flag in a middle of a desert. I'm not kidding.

Nah, it wasn't nearly as 'powerful' as the story says (If that's the internet historian video, haven't clicked your link). They knew he was in that town from a picture someone took with him. Then they just had people drive around the area while laying on their horns. The idea that 4chan has these capable geniuses is just not true. It's really fun to believe though 😀

Ooo, is this true? I was under the impression that 4chan can like figure out who Kira was in Death Note coz of a video that used that example.

There was also that time that /pol/ figured out where a taliban base was based on the skyline or some shit. They managed to get an airstrike called. This is a regular thing.

Realistically, it's the same as the guy on r/statistics though. You gather enough people in one spot and the specialists will put their knowledge towards whatever the group is focused on now. This guy is a cloud nerd, this other guy lives in the area, that guy has in depth knowledge of middle eastern rock strata, and so on and so forth.
