Who has a copy of that conversation between two SCUBA guys where one shows up and starts calling the first ridiculous diver terms like dry legs or tank tapper or some weirdly esoteric diving poo poo?

quote:

When someone starts talking about overhead diving as if they are some authority when they clearly have no clue I am going to call their stroke rear end out on it. Dressing up a 10 foot swim through an idiot proofed tourist trap like the Black Bart as "wreck penetration" is a loving joke, he is trying to make himself look hardcore to people who do not know any better. It has loving plastic skeletons in it for crying out loud. Talking poo poo about cave divers when he is some out of towner who has never seen the back of a grim reaper sign means he has never met a cave diver, or if he has, it is some Full Cavern motherfucker who likes to talk big.

Iirc: someone was like "what's this knife?", and some goon materialised and started laying down extremely deep science about fuckin butter knives, and everyone was like haha I love this forum!, then another goon swung in and just eviscerated the first goon and said they were butter knife neophytes and it was on like donkey kong

It wasn't a saga, but I said something about butter knives, and suddenly there's 40 000 Amerigoons insisting butter knives are made out of metal.

My favorite instance of this phenomenon happened in The Football Funhouse during a GameDay thread. This commercial aired during one of the games and the thread was laughing about the delivery of "It's syrup."

Not too long later someone came into the thread and said "I'm a beekeeper and my brother is on the Honey Board." And for one afternoon the place to learn about bees and honey was the 1pm GameDay thread.

The internet sucks because people keep pretending that it's a vital utility that supports all government, industry and commerce instead of a place to make silly jokes and argue and make web pages about things you like. The internet was a nice little house party with you and two dozen friends and cool acquaintances. The air and the vibes had that quality to it that anything could happen. An orgy. An indie film. Getting hammered and doing insane stunts. Something magical. And then government agents busted in and jumped up on the tables demanding people use coasters and kept changing the playlist under gunpoint and media companies flooded it with shills trying to get people to try their products or sign up for horrible subscriptions and take pictures of everyone all the time. And then they started bussing everyone's parents in. And grandparents. And your boss. And then they locked the doors. That's the internet.

Yeah, "load-bearing slur" was not a joke.

Neddy Seagoon posted:

What was the actual origin of that, out of curiosity? Was $[SLUR] used as a key value throughout the backend code or something?

Griefor posted:

The best of my recollection is that it wrote a slur in a description string somewhere, but when the description was changed it turned out there was some other code that scanned the description for that slur to determine some things.

This is more or less right.

Removing the slur didn’t break anything.
