News in Japanese internet, ぬるぽ(NullPo) and ガッ(gut) is the 20th anniversary of their birth

 I will talk about very silly story in this post.

This news won't make some help in your life.

Nevertheless, if you are the people interested in Japanese internet culture you should see the post.

Summary

In Japanese internet, if you find post that said ぬるぽ(Nullpo), you should post ガッ(gut).

It has no worth but old habits in Japanese internet.It's one of internet meme.

It comes from a 2ch(Japnese internet site like a raddit) write 20 years ago.

But they are endangered species today.

However, if you write ぬるぽ(Nullpo), someone will post ガッ(gut) because internet has 温もり(nukumori, it means warm).

History of NullPo

If you are system engineer or programmer, you may have seen combination of Null and po.

I'm sorry if it stimulated your trauma, but it refers to the NullPointerException.

To explain in an easy-to-understand manner other than programmers, it's an error in the programming language JAVA, usually it means you have some mistake.

In June 20th 2002, the thread with the title "Let's call NullPointerException ぬるぽ" was build in programmer board.

The 1 wrote the ASCII art that said NullPo.

After 2 minutes, 2 wrote gut and ASCII art that shew hit >>1.

 Curiously the exchange of ASCII art had been popular in 2003.

However sometime troll used the exchange, chaos of internet accepted the exchange.

The exchange was shown in comment on the video like ニコニコ動画(NicoNico-Douga, popular video site in Japan. But Youtube is more popular than them today.).

Now 2022, young people or who don't immersed in internet culture don't know the exchange.

But if you write ぬるぽ, someone will write ガッ.

Chaos of internet has warm (at that time, it is called ヌクモリティ"Nukumority", the word made of 温もり(nukumori means warm) and quality), or old internet man will never forget that fun time.

Whichever it is, if you see ぬるぽ and ガッ, I want to watch over with raw-warm eyes.(It's okay to look at something they are doing meaningless)
