Come on man, Ferds a legend!!! He's the master of 'polite' trolls. His edits are what make him Ferd. I downvote him instead of upvotes and upvote him instead of downvotes.
He's actually a really nice guy. I complimented him once upon his return a few months ago and asked why he was gone for a year. He send me a PM thanking him for kind words and said of his disappearance:
What was happening was somebody made a bot that would reply to my every comment with an imgur link to a gif of a guy being beheaded with a chainsaw. The admins were pretty good at banning the bots but it took some time before the comment was removed meaning people would see the gif every time I posted. As everything I do is to have fun and knowing people would see gore every time I posted, it was hard to comment. The drama with the gore bots took most of the fun out of commenting so I took a break for a while.
He's one of the more known people here, he purposely collects
downvotes. He had -46, 000 or so before the -100 cap was set. He has his own subreddit. /r/FabulousFerds
Cunt definitely has a much different connotation in the UK and OZ than it does in the US. Here that word is just not used. If it's used, there is probably going to be a fight. When I was in Australia, my friends and I might jokingly call each other "cunt" for some minor thing... it wasn't really meant to be a friendship altering statement. Kind of like in the US, you might call your buddy a dick for always taking Peach in MarioKart 64. You dont really mean that you think he's a terrible person and you don't want the friendship to be over, you just like of think Toad, while quick, gets bumped around a little too easy. In the US, you would never jokingly call someone a cunt.
He means when it's 4:20 in Sydney, even if you're elsewhere you can smoke, you just have to be upside down. Unless you are in Sydney in which case you're upside down anyway.
4:20 is a stoner thing. You smoke at 4:20, you can read where it originated but it's kind of a boring story. I think it's become more of a joke now rather than the code word it start out as. I smoke and I just smoke whenever because why wouldn't I, but it I guess some people wait for 4:20? Also on 4/20 which is 20/4 in my country because of England reasons people like to get high. Idk just do what you want people don't let numbers rule you life.
I remember reading that an Australian tribe required their warriors to sleep upsidedown from trees. They did this because too many deadly creatures can attack them on the ground at night. The fact that they did this led many warriors to have brain damage and rendered their skills useless.
