Oh! I remember Chuck Norris facts started as Vin Diesel facts and had more of an absurdist flavor to them, like poo poo about how the moon is actually one of his eyes because he lost a bet or something. Then the focus became "Generic unbeatable guy", which is way more boring but that was the direction the winds of the Internet were taking, so :shrug:

The Vin Diesel facts were better, hands down, and my favorite Vin Diesel fact is that his name is an anagram for I END LIVES

Also, Vin Diesel is a cool dude who plays D&D while Chuck Norris is a chud.

There was one I remember about him needing to be careful about how he blinks his eyes otherwise he’d cast a sixth level fireball spell or something. To teenage me that was pretty much the height of comedy.

Jerry Cotton is spot on - FinnPol thread has some nazi issues on occasion and it’s literally all I know of that thread. ScandiPol has enough to shout them out if they leak but holy moly multilingual IKs seems like a no brainer.

I'll bite. Who's the nazis in the Scandipol thread? Except Ligur, but he was ran out.

Oh no it was mostly Ligur and one rando, Scandipol is pretty good at getting rid of them. Finnpol is the one being mentioned with that, but it’s second hand knowledge.

It's called Paranormal Home Inspectors and it is the greatest show ever made. Sadly it's hard to find since it left Hulu.

In one episode, they ignore an active carbon monoxide leak in favor of sending the drunk lady through the house to talk about auras again.

it's on amazon prime and it looks like most of the first season is free on youtube?

I don't know how known it was off SA besides by the people being laughed at, but the thread about the crazy micronation cyborg furries was a good one.

It was crazy popular on places like Reddit before it was cross-posted here. There's this weird echo chamber effect on SA where since most of its posters don't actually interact with the web at large anywhere else they think everything was invented on SA just because it's the first place they were exposed to it. See also thinking we invented/popularized the :imunfunny: face and :feelsgood:.

There's a reason :awesome: isn't the :imunfunny: face. That's the only time I can remember a mod action to change the name of a smilie. Made for some very funny posts where people using that dumb loving face were suddenly boner appraisers.

Reminds me of a related one: there was a guy in SAMart for a while who was selling pins of SA smilies (absent of any consent from anyone, of course) and he got very, very upset when those smilies got renamed and claimed it was damaging his business. I can't remember the user (he had the cat on a beach rolling a watermelon around as his av, but I think several people have had that) but his meltdown was hilarious.

Aluminum Sky, right? I don't know who put in all the work to compile that, but bless them.

There was also In Golden Waters, which was the same thing for the libertarian seasteading nonsense, but it wasn't as good, possibly because the premise they were mocking wasn't as absurd on its face.

That's correct. There were a few different compilations of both stories made, and I think I have all of them. DM me later if you want links, since my office blocks Dropbox.

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
