I've been gone from the SDMB for 20 years. What's happened?

I disagree. I think threads like that would be fine…so long as they stayed away from a “heh, heh, BOOBIES!” tone. Witness Master Wan-Ka’s hilarious colonoscopy thread from last April.

Oh, that’s another thing, @Poldana - we talk about colonscopies, now. A lot.
