Many great moments in Fplus episodes but one more recent episode that I regularly go back to is #332: Why Don't The Females Understand Bitcoin? with a brilliant doc and everyone firing on all cylinders., Bozarth hit with crypto being the "gift certificates for the Internet" . I cannot think of it any other way now :v: And Portaxx so witty about the eye-rolling chauvinism, and Boots got to utter that Ferengi koan "Women is really a paths duck". :confuoot:

Hey I didn't know SA had an active thread for the F-Plus, I'm the guy what made the doc for that and I'm super happy that so many people seem to like it :shobon:

I've actually had another doc like 80% done for the last year or so, I just need to trim it down because the site has so much good content I found it incredibly hard to actually edit :v: One day I'll finish it I'm sure

It's about high tech dick electrocution, you're welcome in advance.

I feel like low-tech dick electrocution would probably be more harrowing, tbh, but neither is a good option

Oh you have no idea just how high-tech this dick electrocution machine is.

They posted pictures on their website of them taking it to an FCC lab for two days of rigorous compliance testing and certification. I don't think I can include that in the doc in any way since it's entirely pictures, but the world needs to know it is a thing that happened.

Oh my God I need to know how the FCC evaluated the dick electrocution machine

Can you even do non-destructive testing on a dicksploder

They put it in a big special room that absorbs RF and has antennas a calibrated distance away and then run it through its paces (unclear if it is actually on a dick while it is being run through its paces, the pictures only show the room itself and the results).

I thought you were spelt THAT way?! :v: Just a great idea for a doc, particularly for that subcuture.

I'm "Shame Boi" everywhere but SA, I settled on "Boi" after I had already changed my SA handle and haven't bothered to change it here :v:

Also credit where it's due, the idea of "search bitcointalk for :females:" came from a yosposter named BP, I simply went "oh gently caress that's definitely a great F-Plus ep isn't it" and yep.

Rich guys claiming it's not femdom and they can quit any time they want to?

Oh it's very much femdom, it's just also for improving your life. I titled the WIP doc "Better Living Through Penis Pain." I guess if y'all want to see it check here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N7E2F_5Pl3pw4G8NZJok8ZhjRwjeA6dZ6HVhT4qyPSU/edit?usp=sharing (just in case it's not clear, plenty of :nws: language, no pictures)

I got it to a rough draft status and realized it's just way too fuckin' long, but I have no idea what to cut because every rock I turned over on that website had another massive essay I could already hear the rediculists reading in my head. I guess if someone feels up to it PM me and I'll give you edit access to cut the thing down to a reasonable size?

Is it not chill to submit a big doc and let the crew pick the ones they want to read, within reason? The movies episode with Simpsons vs SpongeBob comes to mine.

Lemon's asked specifically in an episode to keep them under a certain page length (28 pages I think?) and when I first submitted the bitcoin doc he asked me to take one more pass at it to get rid of some bits that would have been hard for them to follow while reading so eh. I just feel like this site has an awful lot of giant walls of text, all of which I personally love and want to hear read, but I need a second opinion cuz my mind has already been fully saturated by this and I can't tell what'd actually make good content or not.

Judging by Lemon's glee at finding the buttplug remote-control API or whatever it was in that one episode, it'll probably be a popular one.

The buttplug library! I have actually done some development with it because I reverse-engineer bluetooth, um, things for fun sometimes (that's actually how I found the dick shocker in the first place).

It is far more complex than anything named "buttplug" has any right to be.

NICE!!

I've yet to submit a doc, so take these suggestions with as much salt as desired, but here's some thoughts after a quick read through.

- The intro Part 1 is really long and could definitely stand to get cut down, but there's some really crazy bits mixed in there between discussions of electrode contact quality and battery length. Canine Mode stands out as definitely something I see getting read, for example.
- Same with the purchasing, while it's funny that there are three different packages (;)), I don't see all the details getting read time. Could probably be cut to a page total.
- The articles are mostly amusing enough to keep, although this is a good place to start making cuts for length. For example, the tongue section is definitely weird/gross, but it's a bit off topic and overly long.
- Part 3 is the kind of bonkers poo poo I can see them picking a lot of reading content from.
- Part 4: oh hell yeah, forums are where the really great stuff is. I'd expand this if possible, at the expense of the earlier sections if needed.

That's actually super helpful, thanks.

And yeah I was excited about finding the forum but I remember going through pretty much every single post on it and only coming up with that stuff that's in the doc, it's mostly just people asking really basic questions about the products or about stuff they read on other parts of the website, which just leads you back to those pages full of walls of text :v:

Monkey Moms was my favorite episode for a long while :shobon:

The Chairman posted:

it's a service where a company claims they can use their secret, proprietary quantum entanglement generators to remotely imbue your bed with healing frequencies that respond to your voice and thoughts to cure all your diseases

the episode didn't get into it but there was a big chunk of Qanon believers who were fixated on the idea for a year or so, including the theory that JFK owned one, used it to cure his severe brain trauma, is still alive because of it, and would reveal the medbed secret to the public once his son became Trump's vice president

Okay but there was definitely a bit near the end where you could tap a screen to change a picture of a bed, so it can't just be a service, there is in fact a picture of a bed involved.

Just listened to the two dozerfleet episodes. Are there any other episodes that cover similar self obsessed freaks?

The episode about Johnathan Lee Riches is kind of that, in that it's entirely made-up lawsuits he filed about how various celebrities are conspiring against him: https://thefpl.us/episode/80

I think he's like, having a lot more fun (and is somewhat more self-aware) than Dozerfleet though, Dozerfleet never seems like he's... enjoying... anything he does.

Also I have a theory (I don't remember if I shared it here or not) that the Thermodynamic Martinets guy is just Dozerfleet but in a parallel world where instead of growing up in a conservative, hateful household he grew up in a loving, caring household. Still writes lots of long weird screeds on the internet, but they're about inconsequential poo poo and he's clearly doing it for fun and not because he hates the gays and their evil condoms or whatever, he just wants to yell about star wars.
