The biggest impact for me was an FYAD post made several years ago that just sort of stuck with me. I can't even remember the context (or even a possible context for that matter). It pops into my head randomly several times a day, often in a time of great mirth.

For me, it was permabanned user something-stomper58. I heard he really used to "get" FYAD, and would repeat to himself "pooping in n-word something-somethings", or "get beefy, bitch". Turns out he got diagnosed with prodromal schizophrenia. Ever since then, I've been reaching out to people who "get" FYAD, since that forum is basically mental illness made manifest.


E: I'm at work, there is simply no way I'm typing the n-bomb repeatedly

Improved muscle rigidity
