It was the pyf porn, tits and rear end threads if I remember right. Admittedly they were creepy and there's a pretty big difference between writing porn off-site and having on-site "here is what I am wanking to" circlejerks.

Cingulate posted:As a strict Popperian, I for one believe nothing can be objectively measured (there are no protocol sentences/every observation is theory laden). But there could still be useful attempts to measure a trait - a much lower, but also arguably almost as important achievement. Did I ever tell you about the man who taught his rear end in a top hat to talk? His whole abdomen would move up and down you dig farting out the words. It was unlike anything I ever heard. This rear end talk had sort of a gut frequency. It hit you right down there like you gotta go. You know when the old colon gives you the elbow and it feels sorta cold inside, and you know all you have to do is turn loose? Well this talking hit you right down there, a bubbly, thick stagnant sound, a sound you could smell. This man worked for a carnival you dig, and to start with it was like a novelty ventriliquist act. Real funny, too, at first. He had a number he called “The Better ‘Ole” that was a scream, I tell you. I forget most of it but it was clever. Like, “Oh I say, are you still down there, old thing?” “Nah I had to go relieve myself.” After a while the rear end start talking on its own. He would go in without anything prepared and his rear end would ad-lib and toss the gags back at him every time. Then it developed sort of teeth-like little raspy in-curving hooks and started eating. He thought this was cute at first and built an act around it, but the rear end in a top hat would eat its way through his pants and start talking on the street, shouting out it wanted equal rights. It would get drunk, too, and have crying jags nobody loved it and it wanted to be kissed same as any other mouth. Finally it talked all the time day and night, you could hear him for blocks screaming at it to shut up, and beating it with his fist, and sticking candles up it, but nothing did any good and the rear end in a top hat said to him: “It’s you who will shut up in the end. Not me. Because we dont need you around here any more. I can talk and eat and poo poo.” After that he began waking up in the morning with a transparent jelly like a tadpole’s tail all over his mouth. This jelly was what the scientists call un-D.T., Undifferentiated Tissue, which can grow into any kind of flesh on the human body. He would tear it off his mouth and the pieces would stick to his hands like burning gasoline jelly and grow there, grow anywhere on him a glob of it fell. So finally his mouth sealed over, and the whole head would have have amputated spontaneous, except for the eyes you dig. Thats one thing the rear end in a top hat couldn’t do was see. It needed the eyes. But nerve connections were blocked and infiltrated and atrophied so the brain couldn’t give orders any more. It was trapped in the skull, sealed off. For a while you could see the silent, helpless suffering of the brain behind the eyes, then finally the brain must have died, because the eyes went out, and there was no more feeling in them than a crab’s eyes on the end of a stalk.

Joseph Addison posted:A Man who has been brought up among Books, and is able to talk of nothing else, is what we call a Pedant. But, methinks, we should enlarge the Title, and give it to every one that does not know how to think out of his Profession and particular way of Life. Actually, come to think of it, that quote is the entire dark enlightenment in two sentences, although presumably the books Addison were thinking of were a bit more substantial than Moldbug's or Yudkowsky's favorites.

After many anon messages telling him "you really should read the Sequences/Scott Alexander/Nydwracu", Phil Sandifer offers to read these things for $20 of cash money. Someone takes him up on it, specifically "I Can Tolerate Anything Except The Outgroup". (The sponsor is actually a Phil fan who couldn't read all the way through that one either.) Phil realises he priced his time for this dreck way too cheap. stormingtheivory offers to do the next one for $100.

Off-topic, but where did you find this? FYI I only just learned this week that that "Two Wolves" "Indian" parable was made up by Billy Graham in 1978 and has nothing to do with any real Native traditions, which makes the comic extra-funny.

Ragged Jack Scarlet is the author of the wonderful fan theory Undertale Prime, which was greeted with great hilarity by anyone with the slightest media literacy. The theory is that the game Undertale reads to him like just s-j-w fanonisation of a real game. He does better meta than most of the rationalsphere, which means worse than anyone who knows what they're talking about. Give him 6000 words a post and he'll be Scott. In other amusement, Phil Sandifer is still pissed off at reading that loving Scott piece. edit: oh, Phil's noticed Jack. divabot has a new favorite as of 02:07 on Mar 25, 2016 |

The other important point about Undertale Prime was that it was written without ever having played the game - it is based only on knowledge of it gleaned trough Tumblr.

With Sargon https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sUD1RvFWzeE Apparently the excuse is that Sargon was "muted" regarding the "regressive left" definition, as in defining what that exactly means. Apparently there is a video from Sargon with Michael Brooks that's "uncensored", which for me could mean that he edited it in post to save face.

I'm really glad I don't spend much time on tumblr since as far as I can tell Undertale has become the new Homestuck in terms of godawful fans ruining everything I liked the game and I have intentionally avoided everything else related to the game for that reason

I have been corrected, Ragged Jack Scarlet did in fact play Undertale. His ludicrously terrible discourse on it is in fact anchored to the thing.
