> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > I wonder which of those events will happen first? Or will they happen simultaneously? Well, if Sol burns out suddenly, yes, I suspect the board will follow shortly thereafter (although not immediately) - allowing us a little bit of time for threads like “I Pit the Sun for Wussing out on us. Bye all!” Otherwise, I can totally see a bunch of Post-Humans on the Legacy Historical Mindlink 10^umptheenth generations later going on about how LAME 21st century humans were, and if they had just gotten around to developing proper entropy-reversal research instead of yelling at cheeto-faced baboons, that they wouldn’t be stuck watching the Sun go out and making them move. Or I could be maudlin and say next month when the board gets a shutdown message, and we all take the 2 week notice to pit the heck out of the owners/operators and rest of the world for not realizing our unspeakable greatness. The Pit will always live on, in our hideous, twisted human hearts. It’s what makes us great! ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > [Flounce construction](https://www.theshapesoffabric.com/2019/09/02/flounce-constructions-revealed/) I propose that a poster flouncing, and then quietly coming back later, be referred to as a **Circular Flounce**. > ## Circular flounce > > You can make a full circle or a half circle, depending on the amount of flare you’re looking for. And for that matter, some of the other terminology can also be co-opted. - **Double layer flounce** : repeated flounces within the same thread - **Spiral flounce** : a flounce where the poster complains of mistreatment, but then goes on to demonstrate exactly why they are getting grief from posters as their racist/assholish/trolling behavior spirals out of control ---

I should think that slamming down a snifter of decent cognac, _and then_ leaving in a huff would be a [**Remy**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9my_Martin)-flounce. Something I could _easily_ see _myself_ doing. ---
