GBS is fine, but you can go in literally any thread and its the same posts, because the first page is just people trying to lay down the sickest burn

i sort of have a hard time with people objecting to first page poo poo posts because good threads will always succeed and the wheat will separate from the chaff, regardless. having a moratorium on the 'kill yourself op's doesnt help good threads succeed, which they generally invariably do

Also, as I sort of feel like I just demonstrated, the whole "first page of every thread is lost to shitposts" seems to be kind of a myth?

i wouldnt say its a myth, it happens a lot. i guess my point is that it doesnt have any bearing on the quality of the thread/who gives a poo poo, really

Yeah that's the other thing, sick burns are hilarious and one of the things I look forward to in new threads. It's kind of like the overture before the symphony. Or the tuning up period that is not music, per-se, but pleasingly melodic.

social justice GBS which was basically a news RSS feed with threads full of outrage at people actually trying to be funny was definitely not fun.

I cracked a joke about that woman who walked into a propeller for being a dumbass, it wasn't even an airplane pun, but it caused like 5,000 words of posts in outrage at being a misogynist. extend that to every thread.

Oh, put that thing away, Samurai. We all know what's going to happen. You'll swing your sword, I'll fly away, and probably say something like, "I'll be back, Samurai!" And then I'll flutter over the horizon and we probably won't see each for... about a week. And then we'll do the same thing again.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
