There was a picture I saw a long time ago of what looked like a giant piece of heavy machinery or construction equipment with what appeared to be a massive circular saw at the end of a long arm poised like it would be used to tear into the landscape. The way the picture was shot made it look way more massive than it actually was and the "saw" was, if I remember correctly, a wheel with a bunch of shovels or buckets on it (think the blade on a bulldozer or an excavator's shovel). I remember that it was somewhat commonly shared online and then later in clickbaity articles about the real story behind popular pictures from the internet. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Trouble for Trumpets. Yes, I could have it if I was willing to spend $250 or so.

TV show or movie I watched recently that mentioned the kenning for the ocean "whale road". Can't recall if it was spoken aloud or what. It was NOT the Northman, I am positive of that

Does anyone remember when a goon discovered a weird mirrored version of the forums filled with nonsense writing with slightly pornographic language? It seemed to be keeping pretty up to date with live posts but just editing content.

Anyone ever seen a sort of mid-century, or perhaps earlier, child's toy or conversation piece that is a mechanical bird on a pole. You push the bird up the pole, and it sort of peck's it's way down?

It was wooden and pecked down the pole like a woodpecker. like this one https://www.kovels.com/reproductions/toys.html

I think that webpage is now my white whale, as I am sure it is gone I remember laughing out loud every few seconds while re-reading the previous year's write-up of the gaming convention I had attended, like "the best part of Thursday was probably the Netrunner reveal cock-hungry bitches starving for your load"

I have the "bookmark threads I post in" feature turned on and I've never removed a single thread from my bookmarks. My bookmarks are 63 pages deep. What this means is that if I have posted in it it is there somewhere. I am going to begin searching.

I have memories of a commercial for Shazam (the music identifying app) or something like it. A radio station hosts a name that tune contest with metal / hardcore music, most of the commercial shows the DJ. After the song plays for a few seconds a lady calls in and id's the song and wins a mug. The shot then cuts to an elderly lady in her kitchen and she has 12 or so of these same mugs that she's won before. The host then says something along the lines of "Our top metal fan Pearl (or whatever) has won again! She knows her metal". I did some very light searching but I kept getting links to actual name that tune quizzes or articles how Shazam is usable in TV ads. I think it was a commercial and not a bit from a show.

googling this has been an experience. Does anyone have the (quite long) audio file of 'epic movie anouncer voice' going through what i vaguelly recall being edgy videogame nicknames like "absolute cum bucket". The audio has swelling ambient pads as background music.

It was titled Welcome to the Cum Zone from Tumblr user ReidAyanami. The original soundcloud is long gone, but you can find various remixes and versions on youtube. (There were three in total, I think, not sure what the other two were.)

A UK public safety film that I saw in primary school in 1993-1998 in Norwich, if anyone local might recall it It was a building site one, but not Building Sites Bite, I've watched that one and it's just not the same. I remember it being more modern than 70s also. The bits I remember of it were in first-person perspective of a kid wandering across a building site, like balancing across a wooden beam which fell, and digging in a heap of sand that collapsed on them. There must have been third-person bits too, because I remember the kid being dark-haired, gender non-specific. Does anyone remember this? I'm not expecting to find it but even someone else recalling it would be great. e: also this, what on earth was this eating only apples posted:A website called Nowhere or Nothing or similar. A The starting page with the silhouette, it was a scroll wheel of phrases accompanied by typing sounds. I so want to know if this place still exists. It feels so recent, like I saw it yesterday, but I've been looking for it for years. eating only apples fucked around with this message at 02:32 on May 24, 2022 |

I don't know if anyone else is interested in this but I found the Intel Groove Machine I had posted about way earlier in the thread. I emailed one of the people who worked on it named Michael Henry and got him to send me a copy. His site is https://isorhythm.com. His correspondence was funny - he kept calling Windows "Windoze" I couldn't figure out how to video record the display so I resorted to videoing my monitor like a goon. https://i.imgur.com/Gu07zvk.mp4 Here's a link if anyone wants to mess with it. It was made in 1997 and still works under Windows 10 64 bit~! https://www.mediafire.com/file/vpta0q8xgeh1b61/Groove.rar/file
