Does anyone else read the SDMB and Fark?

Just wondering, anyone else read fark.com? Am I the only one???

0.o

No, there’s a fair amount of overlap. Many folks here also dig snopes.com, The Onion, and google.com

:wink:

Oh yes, I am quite infatuated with Google =)

runs off to check out snopes.com

Don’t forget slashdot.org.

…and Kuro5hin.org, somethingawful.com, homestarrunner.com, fathom.org, and many many more, I’m sure…

Don’t forget the quirky humour of www.b3ta.com (maybe a bit Eurocentric for some, but at the end of the day, when come back bring pie).

It’s easy to tell that a lot of people from here read fark, actually…

Contraversial fark headline? Pitting.
Strange or unusual fark headline? MPSIMS.

It’s gotten to where if I can predict the day’s new Pit threads by reading Fark. Almost depressing.

I’ve never read the SDMB but I havn’t read Fark…

:stuck_out_tongue:

Oh.

I thought Fark was a verb.

Like when you break such nasty wind that bark peels off of trees.
Never mind

No silly fark is a verb*!*

SO. Do you fark?

=)

Many people here read Fark. Perhaps too many. Seems like every time I see an interesting story on Fark, when I load the SDMB, someone’s started a thread about it. I wind up seeing everything twice.

I read Fark, but I prefer SDMB because there’s a far lower concentration of idiots and trolls. I can understand the cross-posting though; sometimes you just want an intellectual conversation on a topic, and Fark usually doesn’t cut it.

Lately I barely have time to get to SDMB. Add Fark to it and I’d never get any work done. :smiley:

What’s Fark??

:smiley:

I fark.

Is that a sin?

RobbieFal, click here and you too can share in the goodness that is Fark.

Just because you see something on Fark first and then on the SDMB doesn’t mean it went right from one to the other. A lot of times these news stories making the rounds have an intricate web of original exposure, and Fark is smack in the middle, along with slashdot and some others. So maybe A tells B and C. B posts it on Fark, and meanwhile C tells D who tells E who tells F, who posts on the SDMB.

SkyBum, you’ve been whooshed (unless someone stole the username). RobbieFal has had 553 links posted on Fark, #9 on their all-time list.

And yeah, I don’t mind seeing things on both sites because the conversation styles are very different.

Bah! Down with Fark A pox on their house!

I browse on SomethingAwful, which makes us natural enemies (like the snake and the mongoose). You nasty farker, you.

“Those rivalries aren’t serious,” you say. “Look, ElwoodCuse has links to both Fark and SomethingAwfull in his sig!” Well, I have it on good authority that ol’ Elwood spends 5 hours every night flaming himself and making jokes at his own expense. And he might have multiple personality disorder.

It’s me

I just got ripped off on my deal with the ‘witness relocation program’ people. :smiley:
