Moldorm is a boss in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, notorious for being able to waste a ton of your time even when you know what you're doing. This being the SNES era of games, it was a worm made of a bunch of circles that followed each other around, and that's the head.

This is from a Kelly comic (of The Onion fame) where that guy labeled “perverts” is staring in the window and laughing because of something or other.

It gets used a lot in politics threads, often in a schadenfreude context

Something amazing is going down in GiP

Short version: Dude comes up with a goofy military-parody shirt design, GiP goons want it, he collects orders and money for 70-ish shirts, there are several months of delay in shirt production, then they finally go out... and they're all 6XL plain white T-shirts with iron-ons of the OP in uniform shooting finger guns at the camera. Several people spent non-trivial sums ordering multiple shirts and/or shipping internationally. Some people are amused! More people are pissed! Some other poster is trying to get the original shirt design ordered! Goon projects!

Yeah, I was more wondering why he was a thinky. Moldorm is a huge pain in the rear end and I hate him.

Found a good explanation of this in the military history thread

Cythereal posted:

It comes from the D&D forum, of course. A lot of the threads in that forum get around to discussing the hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance displayed by certain political groups and media personalities, which used to inevitably lead to someone bringing up Eco, leading to that quote, leading to a three to ten page quagmire about the definition of fascism and whether a given political group are Nazis or not. That smiley was created to short-circuit that particular routine by going "Yes yes we all know how this goes shut up and let's skip the derail."

Yep, from the SGDQ Chillthread aka Samus Aran Fanart Appreciation Station. I don't know if it's a scaled down version of existing art or an original goon creation, though.

It was one of the weirder things on the Star Citizen official forums. It stood out in a sea of players* sexually harassing other forum members, or wanting realistic rape penalties from pirate encounters.
