Where I come from a bowl of poke involves no fish at all.
ajmakria gives off that hot buttered HughGoply vibe.
Where’s the $500 butter?
Please. Don’t be trifling. Money is no object.
Only $500 for butter? Pffffttt. I only use hand crafted artisinal butter, $200 an OUNCE.
Could you make it better at home?
Uhoh, I just invoked Man Trap Hilter.
I had to track this down. I’m not even sure I got the right post. You may have summoned more than one of them.
Hint?
Found it. Oh. Wow.
New troll. Joined 2 days ago, and has started to troll up several threads already.
Looks quite sock-ish to me.
I would agree due to two things… The willingness to jump in assertively to existing threads, and the comfort/familiarity they seem to have. Maybe they are a long-time lurker or just have an assertive personality though.
However, I’m not so sure about the “trolling” part. They aren’t acting particularly offensive or controversial. They did challenge some people about discussing Covid-19 statistics but weren’t totally sealioning or saying anything crazy. And they backed off and apologized after offending someone in this thread. So if they are trolling it is pretty subtle to me.
Sorry, I was vague because of those stupid Discourse links.
Yeah that’s why I linked to a thread and not a post in my last post.
Not a great tactic in a thread with nearly 800 posts.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Here’s BigT’s method of posting a non-linking link:
A simpler and better method is to put the link in a code block.
e.g.
https://boards.straightdope.com/t/drdeth-is-a-fuckin-jackass/933971/417
Then it’s clear that it’s not directly linked, and that you have to copy and paste the link to go to it.
With BigT’s method, people mouse-over the link and then wonder why they can’t click on it. To insert a link that way, you also have to remember the html code for a special character.
To put a link in a code block, all you need to do is put a backtick before and after the link.
On an American keyboard, it’s this key:
Perhaps we should change the thread title to something inoffensive. ‘Recipes R Us’, for example.
The Lunatic Theory thread has acted (thanks to Discourse’s automatic email notifications) as a Crackpot Summoning device. Both MANTRAPHILTER [is it MANTRA PHILTER or MAN TRAP HITLER? Was never set straight on that], he with his cutting-edge physics, and Jetblast & his Jimi Hendrix murdered-by-wine notion have been called back from the dark nether regions of the 'net. MANTRAPHILTER even insists that he is feeling much better now (but still fully holds to his pile of theories).
Darren_Garrison wonders out loud:
Did I do that?
Yes, you did. Now go into your corner and say 13 Hail Marys while self-flagellating yourself all the while. That applies to you as well, dropzone.
Frodo:
We know now what those lovecraftian characters felt when they opened gates they could not close and summoned powers they couldn’t control…
Ooo! Which whip?
