It's been a long time, but I remember really liking that one. I haven't read the sequel yet.

I think they like it being a mystery. I never figured out why my old account was banned years ago. I assumed it was about not removing "bash the fash" comments, but they never responded after I was banned.

I heard about this when it came out a few years ago. I've seen the one joke way too many times, to the point where I can't get myself to read this.

I feel like the author didn't have any ill intent, but just straight up using the transphobic joke as the title is still going to piss off a lot of people. Way more people read the title than the whole story, so I'm not surprised it turned into a controversy.

You inspired me to go on a quick 15 minute bike ride.

Reminds me of that password game where your password can catch on fire. I think you need to put it out with other emojis.

NVIDIA brand gray goo has consumed the entire planet to build enough gpus to generate this dishwasher howto.

eh, the shadow realm sounded like too cool of a place to banish misgending to.

I'm assuming this is a ritual to banish she/her pronouns for people who don't want to use those any more. strong support to banishing misgendering

i feel like 'the frog' would need to be based on something with frog in the name that isn't a frog, like a frogfish, frogbird, frogbit, or frog fruit. I don't know if there's any mushrooms with frog in the name

I don't understand how postmills work well enough to be sure how ground up my post is.

edit: Maybe the upvotes are a grind size setting, and it grinds the post up more for more people? I'm just theorizing instead of reading the source code and ruining the mystery of it.

you could make a jumpmeister tuxcart mod to bring these creative original characters to life

first, you need to learn enough basic skills to survive long enough to make a post. the world is an extremely weird and complicated place, that changes all the time. so this is a continuous, ongoing set of skills to keep learning.

I had to learn to read and write, which is also a tricky set of skills to learn, and is often taught in bizzare and traumatizing ways.

then I had to learn to use the internet. this is a convoluted system that connects billions of people together, so it's scary, but also fascinating. there's a lot of ways people convey information. it involves a lot of learning new types of media, learning to use tools to find information, and learning how to express yourself using them too. learning some of the underlying systems that these all run on is also handy, but probably not necessary.

then learn to interact using forum software, each having their own idiosyncracies. I made the mistake of using reddit before this, would not recommend that path

it also involves finding the specific community you want to post in. I tend to try to get an understanding of the culture and people of a community before I try interacting, although there are cultures where lurking is looked down on.

then I had to overcome enough social anxiety to make a post. I'm probably ready to be asked anything, although I'm not sure I'm ready to answer anything

for this post I wanted to put myself out there a bit, but in a semi-joking way that i'd feel comfortable enough to handle

sorry for alarming your brain

I haven't even seen ! screenshot yet. I've basically given up on nintendo since their crackdown on yuzu and other legal emulators.

I feel like a strudel, turnover, or crumble might be a better approximation of a pie.

3 lifetimes worth of whimsy feels like a lot

I guess if the whimsy is viral enough to spread to enough people, it can add up to 3 lifespans worth pretty quickly. If you can get everyone on the planet to do some whimsical thing together, each person only needs to spend about a second to total 3 lifetimes worth of whimsy. of course you'd need to be some sort of whimsy vampire or something to actually make it triple your lifespan

bonus whimsy gambling:

copying random whimsical emoji combos on a computer that doesn't have most emojis set up, so I don't know how whimsical they really are.

"two" factor authentication often ends up with typing up to 6 codes. Log to log into phone, computer, and authentication app, then type website password and authentication code. Plus the pointless captcha to help train their AI. And if the computer is off there's another encryption key to type in.

Then a lot of them just save a cookie, so it's effectively 1 factor most of the time.
