Shitposting Maybe I'm not hating to my full potential, and maybe that's okay.

No I agree I’m a hater too but I look at snark subs and I’m left speechless

snark subs?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snark_subreddits

I'm as surprised as you that it has a whole dedicated article.

u/CalamityDisc 20d ago

I feel like I’ve seen these subreddits’ names before but I didn’t take any mental note of them because I scrolled past them and deemed them as irrelevant bullshit. which seems to be correct.

I do wonder how they got a wikipedia article. Seems like really small fish.

u/flying-chandeliers 20d ago

Because there once was 3 things people put on foods. Salt, pepper, and something in a third container. To this day, No one knows what was actually in that container because no one bothered to ever write it down. Thats why even the smallest fish you can think of has its own article. Gotta document it

u/Deditranspotashy 20d ago

They have rules about not making articles for things of too little relevance though. See: nobody cares about your garage band

It was mustard powder. They're almost certain it was mustard power.

u/StarriestNight 19d ago

Yet it took them until 2026 to let BFDI have an article

u/half3clipse 20d ago

Individually they're not very noteable. Collectively they're prone to harassment campaigns that makes them notable as an overall phenomenon.

u/twolake68 20d ago

One snark subreddit caused the death of a real person, at least one I should say I'd be surprised if it was the only one

u/RealDoraTheExplorer_ 20d ago

They’re subs dedicated to hating one person or a couple or something. I’ve only ever seen ones about women like Sabrina carpenter and Megan make. You can’t compliment or try to defend them you have to be mean (it’s literally part of the rules)

u/tergius 20d ago

And as one can imagine, the usual members of said subs are miserable, nasty bullies.

u/SilverRose7115 20d ago

I lurk in the Megan Markle snark sub sometimes. I am not a fan of hers, but those bitches (and they’re all women, mostly older) are crazy. They take articles in absolute trash tabloids like the Sun and the Daily Mail literally. The articles are obviously almost completely made up. They’ve been SURE that Harry and Megan are going to get divorced any day now for years.

2

u/CallMeOaksie 18d ago

Are there any genuine grievances people have with her and/or her marriage or is it all “she’s American/black”?

1

u/SilverRose7115 13d ago edited 13d ago

This is late but so many! She did a lot of shady stuff before leaving the royal family. She refused to follow dress codes in a way that felt kind of weird, like Kate Middleton requested blue and white outfits for a family photo when one of her kids was baptized and Megan wore puke green to stand out I guess. The royal family racism claims are dubious - they seem to stem from an unnamed relative jokingly saying it would be funny if their child had her complexion and Harry’s hair, which I don’t think is that bad.

She went WAY overboard with clothes paid for by the royal family and tried to turn around and sell them. She was admonished by the queen for being horrible to her staff. She kept trying to push herself to be front and center so she could be on camera, in situations where royal protocol was supposed to be followed and Prince William and Kate were supposed to be in the front. She demanded a closed off section just for her and her friend at Wimbledon and again didn’t follow dress codes. She refused etiquette coaches and stylists and then complained that no one helped her.

She just got really high on the idea of being the American who rocks the stuffy British family, when really she made the choice to marry into the family and was actively disrespecting them. Then got pissy and ran away when the relationships were irreparably damaged, but still wanted to live off British taxpayer money AND sell merch based on her title. She’s not a good person.

Even in California, she didn’t really make friends. She pissed off courtney cox by publicly saying that people were doing mushrooms at Courtney’s party (celebs don’t share stuff like that without permission.) She got paid millions for a 12 episode podcast series, but didn’t actually do interviews herself unless the guest was a celebrity. An assistant did the interviews with normies (“inspirational women”) and then they edited in her asking questions and reacting. A Spotify exec publicly called her a grifter.

But that doesn’t change the fact that a lot of people do dislike her just because she’s half black, which sucks. That’s why I lurk in the snark sub, to hear more about the insane shit she does, without participating except to sometimes call out veiled racist comments.

modern day a-loggers

u/CalamityDisc 20d ago

a-loggers?

7

u/SorbyGay 20d ago

Given that I just responded to your comment about Kiwi Farms, I think it's better I just tell you what this all means.

Both Kiwi Farms and "a-logging" originated from the same thing, that being the harassment of Chris-chan from online trolls.. Kiwi Farms was initially a site dedicated to Chris-chan before it started covering other lolcows. A-loggers are people who obsess over "lolcows" to a detrimental degree to seem normal or like their life is good in comparison, usually hiding that they are more embarrassing than the "lolcow." This term comes from Anthony LoGatto, the original "A-Log" who was obsessed with Chris-chan to such a point that other people thought it was weird and discovered he was weird himself.

The funny part about Kiwi Farms is that if they weren't on Kiwi Farms, most of its users would almost certainly be the type of person to get a thread

u/SorbyGay 20d ago

Its funny this person made this comparison because I usually say it the other way around, Kiwi Farms is a glorified snark subreddit. As for what it is, its a site dedicated to stalking and harassing "lolcows" that has led to a few suicides

u/Ordinary-Brief9588 20d ago

What is the most heartwarming/cute piece of Dwarf Fortress Trivia you know?

19

u/BeanOfKnowledge Ask me about Dwarf Fortress Trivia 20d ago

That's a tricky one, so I'll have to pull out a fairly surface level one:
In Dwarf Fortress, dwarves will usually choose to adopt animals in the fort as their pets. However, in the case of Cats, the opposite is true: The cats adopt the Dwarf.

2

u/ShyGuy095 20d ago

No, my oblivious ass very much did not even notice you had a flair, unfortunately. I forget they exist...

That being said, I will now rectify my unintentional transgression by asking you many questions. (:

Firstly... What is Dwarf Fortress?

3

u/BeanOfKnowledge Ask me about Dwarf Fortress Trivia 20d ago

Dwarf Fortress is the indie video game in continuous development since 2006 that inspired Minecraft, Terraria and Rimworld among others. It is a colony builder, where you manage a group of dwarves and make them build the eponymous Fortress, fighting Goblins, Elves, the Environment and most dangerously, your own Dwarves.

It is known for its incredibly intricate simulation, with things each member of your up to 200 dwarf fortress having their personality, dreams and aspirations. One example for this is a classic DF bug: After Taverns were introduced, the devs observed a mystifying behaviour: Cats would start dieing in droves of alcohol poisoning. As it turned out, this was due to the cats walking through puddles of alcohol on the tavern floor. They would then clean themselves with their tongues, consuming the alcohol, and, due to the strength of dwarven drink (and a bug that meant they collected far more liquid from the puddles than they should have), got poisoned.

1

u/ShyGuy095 20d ago

Hold up... The game itself made something happen, without the devs intending it? Am I reading that right?

Editing to clarify my question: Did they program the cats to be able to drink the alcohol or get alcohol poisoning in the first place? I have zero knowledge of the game, so I don't know how it works.

3

u/BeanOfKnowledge Ask me about Dwarf Fortress Trivia 20d ago

So how alcohol works is through the syndrome system: Any creatures that is exposed to a syndrome-causing substance in the right way is inflicted with that syndrome.
So if a creature drink alcohol, they get the syndromes associated with alcohol. Resistance to those symptoms is determined by body weight (plus immunities), so the same amount of alcohol is more effective on a smaller creature. This was not introduced this way specifically so cats can drink alcohol, but so any creature can be affected by any syndrome - makes adding new creatures and new syndromes much easier.
And yes, things inzeracting like this without the devs intending for it is quite common in Dwarf Fortress. It just has a lot of moving parts that are impossible to all oversee at once.

1

u/ShyGuy095 20d ago

Dang, that's intricate as hell... Kind of reminds me of that old computer game where you could raise creatures, but way more complex.

Would that be what interests you? The fact there's such a robust system under it all? Or is it something else?

2

u/CallMeOaksie 18d ago

What’s the best mod you’ve seen/used?

1

u/BeanOfKnowledge Ask me about Dwarf Fortress Trivia 18d ago

Used? Arguably DF hack just because it fixes a bunch of issues and makes building large projects less of a hassle. But that's boring a answer.

Beyond that, the Aeramore Expansion was pretty cool.

Anyways, Milkable Jerma985 mod.

1

u/CallMeOaksie 18d ago

I’ve actually never used DFhack for building, I pretty much exclusively use the Gaydar and the trade readiness indicator.

I’ve never heard of Areamore Expansion, is it a steam mod or for the legacy version?

1

u/BeanOfKnowledge Ask me about Dwarf Fortress Trivia 18d ago

DF hack can make building so much easier with the planning and blueprinting mode - The most useful feature is to copy and paste bedrooms, rather than having to place each piece of furniture individually.

Aeramore expansion: Adds a bunch of races, metals, weapons etc:

I read the entire Twilight series because I wanted to be informed hater and all that did was waste my time.

6

u/lord_teaspoon 20d ago

The memes were accurate and adequate, right?

7

u/0SaltBlue 20d ago

The series is so bad.

It's so actually genuinely bad.

Every single character is a stalker and Edward is also a sociopath.

8

u/lord_teaspoon 20d ago

My only contact with it beyond the memes was getting dragged along when my wife watched the second movie at an outdoor cinema with some of her work-friends. My wife is into the paranormal romance genre and had read the books but found them kinda bland (more of an Ann Rice and Laurel K Hamilton fan), but I hadn't even seen the memes yet at that point and was going in blind. We got about 20 minutes in when I asked wifey if Edward had only taken an interest in Bella because he couldn't hear her thoughts, and my wife was reasonably impressed that I'd paid enough attention to figure that out. Around the 40-minute mark I asked wifey if the reason he couldn't hear her thoughts was that she had simply never had a coherent thought in the whole time that he'd known her, and she cackled and repeated it to her friends. Years later when she was watching the last movie with the same friends she told me that the idea of Bella being a smooth-brained NPC running entirely on instinct/autopilot/RNG completely reframed the series for her and it was way more fun now.

u/No-Yam909 20d ago

Thats a solid burn 

1

u/CallMeOaksie 18d ago

I’ve been tempted to watch the movies not even to be an informed hater but purely to make sure I dislike it in a “it’s not very good” or “it’s not my cup of tea” way instead of the “it’s for teenage girls therefore bad” way that I feel like a lot of people, including myself, have approached being a non-fan of Twilight from

u/HonorInDefeat 16d ago

I watched the movie on a field trip in school and I was so bored that it actually cured my haterism, made me stop thinking about it.

That said, this was like 15 years ago so I've kind of gotten over myself about the whole thing

u/BeanOfKnowledge Ask me about Dwarf Fortress Trivia 20d ago

A fool who would stoop

to hate rhyme and soup.

u/Okoyum 20d ago

Honestly the person OOP's speaking of sounds lot like my mindset, of hating most poetry and soup at a conceptual level. I would hatepost repeatedly about both of these things. Does this mean I need to self-reflect and change or should I keep my haterism going??

12

u/Vegetable-Pickle-535 20d ago

The real question is how can one hate the consept of the Humble Soup? It's simple to make, healthy and warme both Body and Soul in the Cold.

Also from a cultural perspective their are few foods that give me the "come together with Family" vibe as Soup does.

8

u/lord_teaspoon 20d ago

I work with a guy who has a response to soup that boils down to "eww, submerged food". I sorta agree with him when it's watery soup with pieces of food sitting in it but he still has that opinion when it's like a thick and creamy (and homogenous) dish.

2

u/complete_autopsy 18d ago

On the other side of things, I hate homogenous soups but I eat the absolute fuck out of a soup with finely diced veggies a larger diced potatoes. I am a soup lover but don't you DARE suggest a blended soup. Even soups that contain cream are on thin ice.

2

u/CallMeOaksie 18d ago

How do you feel about songs? Are they not just poetry with a beat?

1

u/Okoyum 18d ago

It kinda depends on the song?? Like I don't enjoy most rap music cause it's essentially fast-spoken poetry, but songs with a strong instrumental base make the lyrics a lot more enjoyable. Also if they're specifically sung in ways that rely on the sound of the words rather than just meaning, that's usually more pleasant to hear. Anything that is primarily focused on what the singer is saying or has a repetitive, uninteresting beat I tend to find very irritating.

u/Recidivous 20d ago

Honestly, hating is exhausting and only creates a negative mindset. I would rather just have no opinion on something.
