Where's the thread with the pics, I need to see this bathroom. Was it just this pic and people dunking on it with no follow-up on the remodel?

My favourite thing about the Grovertub thread was how the dude kept getting mad and leaving and then coming back with his tail between his legs to get advice, and talking about :females: again, and then getting called out and getting mad and leaving forever again this time and then...

also didn't someone get permabanned for doxing him and calling a home inspector on him? That was pretty :munch: too.

Does anyone have that post that was like a "problems/solutions" list of famous Goon sagas? One was something like "A goon kills chickens with AC/DC hadoukens" and another was about the mod who recommended people eat gobs of fatty foods until he was put on statins and another was about this accidental murder machine.

It was in FYAD but easy enough to find the text

quote:

its really amazing how the actions of goons and mods are so freaking far beyond the pale that its actually impossible for a bystander to believe.

proposal: i am going to make an environmentally sustainable yoga retreat in hawaii

reality: a y2k survivalist paid goons a "food stipend" to help me clearcut a rainforest, dig a road by hand, torture and mutilate animals to death on camera, and bathe in/drink from an improperly filtered kiddy pool that wild hogs poo poo and pissed in

proposal: i am going to make a fun zipline for kids at camp

reality: a goon spent tens of thousands of dollars constructing a machine that kills children, entirely by accident

proposal: a fad diet thread in the exercise forum

reality: a mentally ill man resembling a melted candle, the pied piper of ham joints, told people that eating nothing but eggs and bacon and lard in paint buckets (they were literally buying and eating buckets full of lard in the name of good health) would not only make them lose weight, but was so healthy it would cure heart disease and cancer. an enormous fat powerlifter who cant run for 20 seconds probated and banned anyone who challenged this wisdom until it lead to a man barely in his 20s being prescribed statins.

proposal: a thread about animal husbandry in the pet forum

reality: a moderator unrepentantly killed animals with ac/dc hadoukens and probated people who asked questions

proposal: a forum for "responsible drug users" and "harm reduction"

reality: a man falls through the earth and into parisian catacombs. taking a torch from the wall he spies row upon row of skeletons. grasping the nearest by the shoulders, he shakes it madly, yelling "my nigga have u tried lsd"

Apparently it in America some people build vacuum cleaners into their homes. I don't know why but ive seen it in diy home builds before. Wikipedia says it's healthier but I did absolutely zero research to check if that's accurate or significant or what

my aunt and uncle have this, yeah (it wasn't a DIY--the house just came like that). there are just wall sockets you can connect a hose to in every room. the benefit I guess would be that all the dust/etc. collects in whatever dump area instead of a vacuum cleaner that you then have to empty into a trash can which means fewer particles are redistributed into the air.

Our family lived in a house with those at one point, it was completely baffling to me and eventually my parents just had the sockets removed and dry walled over them because the collector piece was in an annoying place for cleaning.
