You now are in the possession of a box filled to the brim with the entire internet. Who do you send it to?

I send it to the head of all porn industries, they have the controlling interest of it anyway, it might as well be theirs.

Gummi, Chris, and I would become the sworn protectors of everything that is wrong with the Internet.
SpongeyGString Akari~n!
@M4xwell: We both know you couldn't protect yourself, let alone the other 2.
M4xwell Insanitarium
@SpongeyGString: I would love to hear a short story about that (which I know would be bullshit because I can protect myself, but probably off the other 2 at the same time.)

@Redblood801: Edit: Redblood, Alex (1), Chris, Gummmi, and I. (Flygon write this.)

For the record, this is entirely possible. In fact, you wouldn't need that big of a box at all.

I clicked on this thinking the thread was titled "sand in the box".
I am disappoint.

@CyroWolf: If the box contained a small vile holding pure liquid internet, the rest has to be filled with packing peanuts, labeled 'do not bounce'. We gotta keep this stuff safe.
FappingBlackGuy OW;TheJosher
@Redblood801: Yeah.
One of my earliest memories, other than falling face first down a flight of stairs and crawling it off like nothing happened, was playing in my sandbox.
Which had a fuck load of snakes living underneath it.

Don't forget our friend jack, he's got to go in there somewhere too, otherwise our insurance won't cover it.

I can only imagine what an "internet strawberry" would taste like. It ain't good.

I temporarily forgot the over-arching joke of this thread and was going to make a joke, "Wouldn't this be an INTERNET BOX," but then I remembered that I'm not retarded and deleted it.

I would probably start by wanting to send it somewhere safe. I'd not want to be in charge of the internet. There's all kinds of nasty stuff in there.
However, I would probably take a look inside the box first. I mean, it's the entire internet, right? Who wouldn't open it?
Once you open it, though, you start looking through it. The lighter stuff has settled on top, things like kid's sites, etc. The further in you look, the more varied and intriguing the contents are. You don't want to give it up now, there are too many cool things to watch and interact with. You stay inside with the Box, poring over site after site, finding niches to explore, people to talk to. Every free moment is spent in the Box. Your friends don't see you for days, maybe even weeks at a time. Who needs them anyway? You have to Box, and it offers you everything you could ever want.
The Box is your life now. You delved too deeply, and too greedily, and now it's too late.

@Twitchy478:
That should incorporated into some sort of welcoming statment for this site, Its really deep.

I would send it to Ray, of course. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End of all Internet Memes. From Ray was the Internet made, and to Ray shall it return. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, Brownman to Brownman.
AwYeah @super_legit
I would send it to Patricia, if only to see what she does with it.
My guess? She eats it
DashingRainbow
I would send it to Seth Green because he's the real napster.
p.s M4xwell could I be a part of this whole internet protectors thing?

@CyroWolf:
That's only the electrons, and not the data. In fact, there are about 15 terabytes of data on the internet as we know it. In other words......
....it would probably take a couple bigger hard drives.
HOWEVER, if you count the "deep web," which constitutes a place in the internet unreachable by normal search engines, there are estimated to be over 700 terabytes of data, which would require a much larger box, if you could get them all to fit online.
I guess it does depend on whether or not you want to count the structure or the content of the internet, but I don't think it matters who you give a strawberry's worth of electrons to.
sonny88p
@AStingyMiser:The data can be stored as qubits
I would give it to someone who could take all the knowledge from it and throw away all the rest, which would turn it into a sort of Akashic record

@DashingRainbow: yush. All we need is either an epic drawing of this or a glamorous fanfiction.
Phoenix_Orcinus Orca King
@Overtoad: I suppose they would, the parts stored on the net, like cloud data.

@M4xwell:
I may attempt to write something about it eventually, don't expect tolken or even munch level stuff though
