Who wants to hear my, “Why reddit got image hosting of its own when it did” conspiracy theory? No one? Too bad, posting it anyhow.

Few years ago reddit had a subreddit called fatpeoplehate. It existed to, you guessed it, hate fat people. “Fattie” became an insult du juor. One day they find out an imgur employee is fat, and start in on being shitters. This apparently was the straw that broke the camels back because they finally got banned.

My theory is simple: reddit didn’t ban fatpeoplehate because they went too far. They banned it because imgur threatened to block them and being the image site, this would fuck reddit up. Imagine being a social media site with no pictures. Impossible.

Reddit, not too long after that, adds image hosting. Could it be a coincidence? Sure. Do I think its one? Not really.

Fun addendum, a study was done post-ban and reddit actually became less toxic after the ban. Crazy how denying shitty folks a platform actually makes your site better, whoda thunk?

I put the STD in Stud, all I need is U.

Some folks might be on some prosperity gospel bullshit, but I don’t think Elon, Zuck, et. al. believe in a power above themselces.

What oddly specific training. Is there a training regimen for a “Evangelion everyone got turned into Tang” situation too? What about the “Just got spider powers and a Canon event may be coming”?

We can’t rule out that VP candidate’s named Tim are the issue. Hillary had Tim Kaine and lost, Biden had Kamala and won, Kamala had Tim Walz and lost.

I prefer to embrace the thought that no matter how chronically online he is, his meme game will always be dogshit and his nerd cred largely nonexistent.

By definition it cannot.

Perot did pretty well on his runs iirc. But I don’t think he’s the one you were talking about.

“I got the shitter mobile from the guy who was tongueing Donalds bootyhole, then wrapped it to make it look like I wanted to be Trump’s bestie, and for some reason everyone in the incredibly left leaning state I live in hates me???”

You can’t logic someone out of something they didn’t logic themselves into, and they definitely got emotionally attached to antivax before they found “statistics” to back shit up.

A 4070 to replace my 2080S. The improvement was fairly noticeable.

One has to imagine a future where one of several things happen. Two possibilities come to mind.

1. The government somehow bans beef, chicken, turkey, etc. This, I can’t stress this enough, will not happen. The backlash would be massive and leaders would be out on their ass swiftly and the decree reversed.
2. Climate change and animal flus render meat so expensive that it escapes affordability for the average man More catastrophic, but also more likely. IMO average folks go largely vegan at that point, meat becomes a special occasion thing for them.

If I had to choose between a bomber and something like r/jailbait (which was the medias first big look at reddit) as the sites big first exposure to the world, I’m going for the bomber every time.

We’re hittin the big time boys!

The name is a holdover from its reddit origin as a spinoff of the rage comic subreddit fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu, which was condensed to f7u12 (which means the helpful shorthand here is I7T12, which is also not especially memorable, but is better then the alternative.).

Considering the lack of rage comics about IT here, I’d say its strayed far enough from its path that the name isn’t applicable anymore.

I use an app called KnownCalls that sends anything that isn’t in your contact list straight to voicemail. Added bonus: No ads, free app.

Conservatives will shit their pants if it means liberals are grossed out by the smell.
