4chan is a flower arranging website that you will have no interest in and you should stay far away from as possible as you clearly have no interest in flower arranging, it is also a register of all the good flower arranging shops around the country people that tell you its a really cool website are "trolling you" and you should pay them no heed and never search 4chan again
much thanks

4chan is an English-language imageboard website. Launched on October 1, 2003, its boards are primarily used for the posting of pictures and discussion of manga and anime. Users generally post anonymously and the site has been linked to Internet subcultures and activism, most notably Project Chanology.
4chan users have been responsible for the formation or popularization of Internet memes such as lolcats, Rickrolling, "Chocolate Rain", "Pedobear", and many others. The site's random board is by far its most popular and notorious. Known as "/b/", there are very minimal rules on posted content. Gawker.com once claimed in jest that "reading /b/ will melt your brain".
