Tell us about your interactions with libs.
You can go to our dunk tank at !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml.
A lot of it you’ll find on random posts, even of ours, like this one
this is a bit I’ve seen posted here almost verbatim lmao.
yeah that was me lol I’ve got accounts on both idk why I didn’t mention it was on here, linking to comments is pretty broken so I was just describing the argument lol
I think our posting styles will take a bit to get used to lol
haha yeah, this place is a much less shitposty environment for sure lol
Weird, but almost nostalgic experience to be a Chapo head since The Poop Touchening episode or thereabouts, follow it from Reddit to Chapo.chat, then hexbear, then sort of fall out of touch with it for years, then see it pop back up here on the fediverse.
Tell me the story of the poop touchening please! 🥺🙏
So the poop touching story was from I believe the 2018 midterms. Matt Christman had made a bet that the Dems would do poorly (I believe) with Virgil (Who’s Virgil?) and Virgil won because he generally speaking had a better grasp mathematically of the horse-race of electoral politics (which is why he was a wonk about them mattering). When Matt lost, he had to ‘touch the poop’, which was I believe Virgil’s cat’s poop.
Details may vary. It’s amazing to me that I remember that much.
Edit: it was also done live on-pod. I’d say it’s about the closest the pod ever got to ‘Adam shitting himself on air’.
Thank you!! Weird punishment but I guess weirder things have been done for losing bets.
I think originally the phrase was popularised by r/shitRedditSays, which was a sort of feminist subreddit that took the piss out of reddit’s reactionary/chauvinistic culture. They would say “Don’t touch the poop”, meaning don’t comment on the linked thread that’s getting discussed.
What OP is reffering to re Chapo I don’t know.
Oh I was imagining it more literally haha. I wonder what kinda poop had to be touched for it to become a whole event
We come in peace. We have owls.
The owls are not what they seem
Mind explaining the owls? I don’t know shit about Hexbear lore post r/CTH
Anyway welcome, comrades!!!
there’s a couple of prolific posters with “owl” in the name, there’s in jokes about them
So is Hexbear just CSPAM Circa Somethingawful 2016? Or is it LF, 2008?
