    Years ago, on IMDb, a poster called rabbitmoon kept a thread going for years on the Rambo board that is still the best I’ve ever seen.

    The whole thing started with him posting that he was shocked when, about a third of the way through the movie, there was a scene in which a character was shot with a bullet from a gun. Then he countered, completely earnestly and deadpan, every response he got.

    The original thread is long gone, and the only thing I could find of it is an excerpt that was posted on Reddit - LINK

      Haha, bloodninja was a legendary troll.

      Invertebrates give me the ick, so I hope you don’t mind me not clicking that one lol.

      If you enjoyed that video, many of the creators videos are hilarious.

      I highly recommend the one about the highest scoring American football game of all time (it’s over 200).

        If there’s any invertebrate that should make people uncomfortable, it’s fucking bobbit worms. They are nightmares given form

          Just a worm that eats fish. I think they’re probably the most interesting creature in many saltwater aquariums.

            If I was ever going to get into aquariums, I’d focus on the invertebrates. Maybe a bobbit worm and some brittle stars, and something paleagic but I’m not sure what yet.

              Maybe shrimp of the group mysidacea? They swim a lot, don’t know if they’re easily available though. I think you can buy them as feeders.

                Yeah, I was looking for a good candidate. A crustacean makes sense because I have worms and echinoderms already. Most of the exclusively swimming crustaceans are pretty little, though.

                I wonder if there’s some kind of small cephelopod that would be good. Otherwise, nudibranches, jellyfish or comb jellies. The bobbit worm might honestly need it’s own tank if it has too much opportunity to catch things.

      That sounds promising. What are the odds it’s been taken over by “true believers”? That seems to be the fate of any long-running satire on Reddit. TheDonald, most infamously.

        I think some people could think it’s not satire but that’s because there is a rule saying “we are not satire”. Guess what? That rule is satire too

            Because:

            1. They pretend words like Karen or Boomer are slurs

            2. They censor the words g#me, g#mer and videog#me

            3. They say Hitler invented videogames in 1939

            4. Most of their proof is photoshopped images (example)

            5. Most of the users active in that sub are actually also active in gaming subreddits

            6. They call their subreddit a “facebook group”

        What website are you on lmao? Reddit is constantly mentioned, nearly every instance is majority Reddit refugees, there are Reddit repost bots on multiple instances.

            I really don’t think you understood me there.

            I am mocking your claim that “nobody mentions reddit”, those repost bots are definitely not one of the main complaints maybe one of the top 5 or 10 tops, and nobody cares about mentioning reddit stop being a baby.

            More clear?

    There was some Wikipedia article that was subject to a really long and intense conflict over whether it should have an infobox. I don’t remember the details, though.

      Most of the Wikipedia dramas are fantastic, pedantic and/or ideologically driven people fighting with other pedantic and/or ideologically driven people for pages after pages until some admin just unilaterally picks one side and locks the discussion

      I seem to remember the “feces” Wikipedia article made it onto a list of dumbest Wikipedia controversies, because it has endless debate about the authenticity of the poop photo used and whether a different, more realistic poop should take it’s place.

        They were playing a game of Hedbanz / Headbands / Celebrity , and one of them had The Good Witch Glinda from Wizard of Oz as their character, and they are arguing about them not guessing it based on the clues.

        They’re arguing about the Wizard of Oz. I’m pretty sure this video is older than Frozen.

          Yeah, but I thought he was drawing a parallel between Wizard of Oz and something else, i.e. Elsa is the wicked witch of the East. If it’s older than Frozen, then it’s probably not that!

    A little context must go into this one. For three years now, Wix has owned DeviantArt, having acquired it from its original managers. Wix then redesigned DeviantArt to have a more modern functionality, referred to as DeviantArt Eclipse. A part of this functionality is that people on DeviantArt are (supposed to be) notified whenever someone posts a work similar to their own on any website across the internet, even on the dark web, as an originality-based precaution. As a side note, I wouldn’t say DeviantArt is doing the best it has ever done, but I wouldn’t call it bad, but “pessimist culture” would disagree, and there are those who say the feature I mention is irreputable.

    One day, a certain someone signed up for Wix and started putting art on there instead of DeviantArt. It should be noted that you can be banned from DeviantArt but not Wix. It’s not usual, but I myself demonstrate this, probably because my “ban” was circumstantial and therefore intentionally made only partial (for this reason, look up my Lemmy username on DeviantArt, I’m not forgotten), but I’m only a second person here as far as Wix is concerned. Someone deep into this “pessimist culture” (I don’t know what else to call it) then noticed and made a complaint accusing me of bypassing DeviantArt’s detectors using their own parent website and nobody doing anything, even “with the premium service package”. I kind of laughed at this, it would be like saying you committed a bank robbery by asking to speak to the manager and then asking him nicely for all the money in the bank. You kind of have to question the ownership at that point. Needless to say the fishiest thing was the accusers.

    i dont have the links, the forums might not even exist anymore, but i remember a lot of d&d alignment arguments from the 00s that went on for days and garnered thousands of comments. no one changed their opinions and the comments were essay length because you HAD to (you didnt actually have to) always quote the previous post too.

    good times marx-ok
