What can I say? It's scary. And funny.
Seriously. Chatroulette! is a lot like Omegle, where two anonymous strangers are paired in a chat session at random. Thing is, Omegle came first, since it's basically anonymous text chatting. Chatroulette! has that, but with webcam and mic support. To put it in another way:
AIM + Anonymity + Random = Omegle
and in turn,
Omegle + Skype - private accounts = Chatroulette!
Now that you know how it works, I'll let you know why Chatroulette! is both scary and funny in my book. Chatroulette! is totally random. And anonymous. Anonymity without fear of retribution on the internet usually leads to either fucked up behavior or trolling.
By fucked up behavior, I mean finding an obscene amount of penises. It seems that every fourth or fifth video I come across is a random man masturbating from the waist down. I don't know why one would enjoy masturbating on cam--I guess some do it for thrills, but I think most do it out of pure boredom or shock value, since other targets I have found are either drunken frat boys, potheads, guidos, jailbait camwhores, and funny black guys; just rarely do you find any regular people to talk to or a pair of boobs. Another scary thing about it is that the same pair of boobs could be from some teenage girl who obviously has no business exposing herself on the internet. I've also encountered some annoying looped GIFs (think of 4chan's /gif/), a "suicide" (it's a man who's hanged himself, but the clip wasn't real after seeing it on multiple occasions and from a second opinion), and losers who hold up signs requesting boobs and not boners (lol).
You would think after seeing 39 penises in an hour that I would avoid Chatroulette! for life, but no. I come back to it every now and then. Why? Because there's trolling involved. Go to YouTube. Look up "Chatroulette reactions". Watch them. It's gold. Usually, what you do to elicit hilarious reactions is to air something unbelievably funny, scandalous, or gruesome, and let it play rather than your webcam. Then just sit back and watch the hilarity. Or, you can just wear a disguise (such as an Islamic "terrorist"), play some Arabic chanting in the background, and type "ALLAHU AKBAR!!!" on the text field and elicit some responses there. Be warned though, people switch out pretty fast. It's not easy to have everyone see you stuff; it's like fishing--there are long spells of boredom (and penises)until you score a bite, whether it'll be a reaction from trolling or a nice live pair of tits and then some.
For those who are feeling adventurous and armed with a webcam, go play some Chatroulette! at http://chatroulette.com .
PROTIP: Like everything else, don't be a retard and reveal your real name, address, shoe size, etc. The point of Chatroulette! is to remain a "stranger". If you want to try, but are afraid of showing yourself to the world, wear a disguise, such as a pair of sunglasses or bandana, and use the text feild to type your words, rather than speaking them via mic.
For added fun, try Omegle as well. Say you're 14/f/ca if some creep asks "A/S/L?". Or just spam "NIGGERNIGGERNIGGER" until they quit. Or actually have a conversation with the person. Whatever works.
Have a safe day,
