OK. I know this is going to be weird but here it comes…
Omegle, the website we all know. It’s the second Chatroulette. It is basically a website in which people who are complete strangers to each other click a button to connect to another person’s computer on Omegle.
After connection is made, there is a chat box, where people can chat and on the upper-left corner, the camera box. People who allow Omegle to use their cams can chat with each other in a kind of way Skype lets them.
Although, this might seem cool, Omegle is infamous for one feature of its, masturbating males around 19-24. Every 1 person in 5 in Omegle (I can tell from experience) masturbates and does nothing else.
Now, here comes the TWIST!
I am no IT expert and what I’m about to say might sound ridiculous but, what if:
People who connected to Omegle and allowed access to their cams got their IPs or computers registered into an Omegle archive, where Omegle sends malware to these computers to access their webcams without their consents and there were porn sites, with were Omegle proxies which, in some way accessed your webcam and started broadcasting you masturbating to porn, not aware of you’re being watched and broadcast on Omegle!
This would surely affect everyone. I want to hear what you Dopers think about this, has anyone considered this possibility before? I know it’s a slim chance and I’m no conspiracy theorist but come on!
Wait - the OP is asking, what if people who go online to masturbate in front of the world were given malware so that the world could see them masturbate online?
Not that I have ever used Omegle, but I believe it’s the latter. As in, some troll-ish dude decides “hmm, I want to fap, let’s hop on Omegle and terrorize some people!”. They’re probably getting off on the exhibitionism. So, even though they’re only on for 5 minutes, there’s enough of them to be noticeable.
If any of these masturbating-in-front-of-camera people are prominent politicians, they could use their bully pulpits to go after the malware makers.
And the NSA.
We met in 2009, married last year, and she’s moving to the States in 2 weeks on a green card.
Not really relevant but I saw Omegle and wanted to share.
Ironically, neither of us was looking for any sort of partner and we were both not single at the time. I had gone there after a night of college drinking at the encouragement of a friend to “have fun messing with random people.”
I think I started every conversation with a pasted message. Something like “No dick picks here. 22/m/pa. College student. Don’t care if you’re male or female. What’s shakin’”
I am actually surprised so many people haven’t heard of Omegle. It’s extremely well known in the under 30 crowd. C’mon dopers, you’re not that far behind the times, are you?
According to a self-reported poll of 600 members that describes less than a quarter of the user base ;). And that was in 2010. We skew decidedly middle-aged around here.
