Kopipe, known also as copypasta, is a term that includes pieces of text that are copied and pasted integrally into websites.

Basic Level

The basic level for copypasta usage is:

See a text/story that you may think it's funny/worthwhile to save.
Copy it integrally without altering punctuation or spelling. Errors might be intentional, and are not to be corrected. Depending on your OS and browser, copying these copy-pastas may not result in proper formating. Paragraph breaks should include an empty line when pasted. If it is not the case in your environment, you will have to add them manually to have an authentic character-for-character kopipe.
Paste it somewhere you can find it when needed.
When given the appropriate occasion, retrieve it, copy it and paste it into a text window.

Congratulations! You now have successfully used a kopipe.

Advanced Level

The next step is to read kopipe aloud, for your peers' amusement and yours. When doing so, remember that what makes them good is authenticity. You must became the OP. Do not read them in a dry or monotone voice. It's ok to get interrupted and respond to the questions that may arise, but get back on track as soon as you can, as if it was your story.

If you feel hip and creative, you might undertake the effort to change an existing copypasta to further elevate its quality and making it better. These are some suggestions to create VIP QUALITY kopipe.

Try to find speech patterns. Often kopipe relies on a defined structure to be effective. In the case of GEORGE ZIMMER, you may find that the keys to make a smooth Zimmer copypasta are ALL CAPS and allitteration.
Try to find something interchangeable. Sometimes it's just the structure that counts while the subjects and actions can be changed liberally. This is the case of Yoshinoya.

God level

If you're God-level, you can create your own copypasta. Write from scratch something funny or insightful, and then post it. Maybe, if your kopipe is of high quality, someone might copy and paste it once again!

tanasinn.info and copypasta

tanasinn.info has a vast archive of VIP QUALITY kopipe, therefore you are not meant to add any copypasta unless it's recognized as funny, and as such is copied and pasted extensively. But you may raise your stakes by submitting a copypasta you deem worthy through these methods:

You can directly insert it into a new fancy page of its own (a quick "how to" can be found here, or you can just look at the other kopipe pages for reference.)
Else, you can ask a new page by adding an entry in this page.

In both cases, experts will evaluate your submission and eventually make it VIP QUALITY, or send it to the tanasinn chamber.
