There's a side note she added: "I also got stung in the boob by a wasp! I was a pretty good July 4th!" Guess what all the comments are asking her about.

"Pay no attention to the obvious stdh up there! Look at my huge boobs with a wasp sting on them to prove it totes happened!"

"This is the greatest shirt I'll ever own"



This is STDH in that she didn't put it up to show off her kinda funny shirt that she then had to explain because she "works in a call center", she posted it to show off her boobs and get free internet points from horny dudes.



This may not be STDH because it is such a prissy passive aggressive thing that I wouldn't put it past an Imgurian to do this.

Here's some really nice STDH that was debunked: http://imgur.com/gallery/wKRdJ



Hmm yes and the fact that this is a brand new account doesn't prove that this is bullshit.



Gonna take a break from STDH for a second and wonder why in the hell this is so popular.

I think for me it's the initial intent to make people believe this lie actually happened. Like if I told a story about how I saved a baby from a burning building, and I told it in a really entertaining way, and then someone eventually found out I made the whole thing up, it would be ridiculous for someone to say "I don't care if it happened or not, it's a good story." The person saying I'm a liar is absolutely right. Even if my story included some moral resolution that people found to be enlightening in some way it doesn't stop me from being a lying sack of poo poo, and it doesn't stop the people accepting my story from being gullible shills.

As for the boobs thing: dudes post pictures of their tshirts all the time, but a less funny shirt can make it to the front page if there's a pair of boobs behind it. Post that same shirt laying on a table and see what happens. It's the exact same content, but I doubt it would receive as much attention as it does with breasts. Not to mention that the comments section is filled with perverts talking about her tits.

See also: Any mention of a boob gets upvoted. It could be something inane like "today I got accidentally punched in the tit" and it will fly straight to the frontpage on a sea of upvotes and the comment section will be creepertown, internet detectives and people sending dickpics.

But the "community" doesn't think of themselves as creepos and to prove it they regularly upvote a single picture of a buff/half naked dude accompanied by a text like "let's see if dudes can also get to the front page" or "social experiment" and they all pat themselves on the back for being so inclusive and not creepy at all.

*browses during class, ends up being creepily photographed by another Imgurian behind him*



How does this even happen?



How does a dog "sense" you've had a bad day? They're not psychic. This dude positioned his dog to hug him and had his girlfriend or mom photograph it.



I want you to stop answering your own questions.



Ooh, those blacks. They're just so entertaining! I love them so much!*

*except when it comes to addressing poverty and systemic racism



Also a prime candidate for AUG, but this brand new account named "thingsineedtoconfess" was made exclusively for this macro. See, the imgur community isn't bad! There's only a few creepy weirdos jerking it to their step daughters!

They don't really expend much effort, easily half of the "User Submitted" section is softcore and much of it makes the front page. Also, I'm pretty sure the avarage user is young enough to not yet have discovered that there's porn on the internet so every boob is very exciting :v:

I'm going to guess it's also a lot of people who either have convinced themselves they think "porn is disgusting" but still really want to see a boob or it's people who want deniability if they are caught looking at softcore stuff.

I can definitely see a large number of people being in denial about masturbating to porn as if it's below them (and girls in porn are dirty whores you know) but jerking it to a clean wholesome red head with an amazing rack and expert photographer is perfectly acceptable.

I can also see a large group of people who think their favorite website should do exactly what they want it to do by virtue of them being on it all the time and being very vocally aggressive about how they think a multi-million dollar company should function. Someone coming in and saying "we're not going to allow porn on the front page any more" is akin to some kind of government overreach and "well it wouldn't be there in the first place if the majority of the imgur upvoting userbase didn't really really like it!" is a perfect argument because "democracy!"

Most social mammals have evolved to give emotional cues to other animals, displaying this in the form of posture, facial expressions, vocalizations, and so on. For example, a person might do what is called a 'frown', where the corners of their face turn downwards and their facial muscles tense in a way that conveys unhappiness. A person could raise their voice in an aggressive way, which creates harsh overtones which generally convey hostility and danger. There are actually a great many, and it would be impossible to detail all of them here especially given the many different species that utilize them, but I'm sure you can find a more expansive explanation on wikipedia.

In addition, dogs have the ability to detect and differentiate between chemicals, so long as they're suspended in the air. This is a little-known ability of theirs, so I am not surprised it is unknown to the general public.

Making up stories for karma or whatever is already lovely, but turns out it's extra lovely when a volunteer organization actually doing some good in this world is collateral damage in your stdh-crafting!
