The '/b/ User's Suicide Attempt' meme refers to a recurring phenomenon on 4chan's random board where users post dramatic threats of self-harm, often accompanied by a countdown or a request for 'GETs.' Historically, these threads are met with a mixture of extreme skepticism, toxic encouragement, or a total lack of empathy, illustrating the board's 'rules of the internet' philosophy where nothing is taken seriously. As a meme template, it is used to represent the disconnect between genuine calls for help and the cold, anonymous reactions of the internet, or to satirize the attention-seeking nature of certain online subcultures. It remains a controversial yet significant piece of internet history that highlights the darker side of early web anonymity.
