I’ll go first: r/kitty. One of the hundred grillion cat subs back on Reddit, the culture in this one was you posted a cat picture, and the only word allowed in the title or in any comments or replies was “Kitty.”
Someone is using that subreddit for covert communications, I just know it. Either on the level of “if u/PM_me_your_nostrils posts an orange cat, we attack at dawn!” or there’s some steganography going on with the pictures, but that subreddit was too stupid to be as active as it was.

Soda bottle caps for newer types of soda fit worse onto the bottles. They’re harder to re-thread on, for example, the new Oreo Coke than they are on the old Diet Coke.
The reason that newer bottle designs are harder to thread is that they’re trying to make people drop the cap, leading to just giving up on re-capping.
This is to reinforce the narrative that people lose their bottle caps.
Which is to lend support for the drive to make caps attached to a little ring on the bottle, like in Europe.
Or maybe it’s to keep you from sealing your drink and having it later. No cap means you finish it or dump it so you have to buy another.
What would be the problem with bottle caps being attached to the bottle?
- It treats adults as children
- It gets in the way
- It’s a reduction of individual freedom, and complementarily, an expansion of government power
Having bottles at all is government overreach. I want you to pour the drink into my cupped hand for me to lap it up. No Big Government is going to tell me I have to use a bottle like a goddamn baby!
If you are serious about your second point you deserve your first. The last one is just hilarious.
Yes I’m serious that the cap gets in the way. It’s ridiculous.
The fashion world is in a war on pockets, so they can sell more handbags. The fewer and smaller pockets we have, the more accessories we need to buy. First they came for women’s pockets. Now they’re trying to make cargo shorts unacceptable for the same reason.
r/cat was like that for a while. Imagine being the database admin being responsible for a billion iterations of the word cat.
content warnng: Magic The Gathering
facts: a couple of weeks ago the commander rules committee, the independent group that governs the popular Commander format, started receiving death threats after they banned some boring ass broken cards (jeweled lotus? dockside extortionist? nobody is ride or die for those)
as a result, the rules committee turned over control of the format to Wizards of the Coast / Hasbro, the makers of magic the gathering
fact: last year after some magic the gathering content was leaked, Hasbro send literal pinkertons to harasss the youtuber leaking it and recover the leaked goods
conspiracy theory: hasbro hired the pinkertons to make those death threats against the rules committee so that hasbro could seize control ove the most popular independent format of magic
What the fuck
I want to know more
I wanna say “nub uh” but the fact that they’re getting death threats is really crazy. Like they changed the mulligan rule from partial Paris to the new one (Vancouver?) and basically everyone said “that’s neat” and did partial Paris anyway. And over busted things like dockside? Goddamn there was barely an outcry over prophet of kruphix.
Sol ring ban I could see death threats. That’s about it.
The RTO push is designed to keep the commercial real-estate market from crashing. I’ve never seen any good proof of this, but believe it. I don’t exactly know why CEOs of big companies would really care that much about commercial real-estate. Perhaps their large shareholders (hedge fund managers?) also own commercial real-estate and are putting pressure on CEOs? Perhaps at that level it’s just a big club, and all the wealthy just help eachother out, out of solidarity? Dunno.
If the value of corporate real estate falls then that had a material impact on the balance sheet of companies owning their own offices. It’s in their own best interests to keep demand high.
Companies that rent don’t enforce RTO.
Perhaps. I guess the companies could use their campus equity in a beneficial way. Not sure how beneficial this is to most companies though. With the companies I’m thinking of, I’d guess campus equity is pretty minor (compared to their “human resources”). I may be wrong though.
Yes, offices will be a small proportion of total assets. But there is still profit to be made.
NHL and MLS instruct officials to tilt games against Canadian teams
That sounds reasonable.
The Bin Laden killing was a hoax. That guy died year ago because he was on dialysis machines that wouldn’t really function well somewhere deep in the Pakistani mountains. Or maybe he was actually in that house they raided at some point. But the message came out of nowhere like around the time of the reelection campaign. And they never showed a body. But then they even came up with some BS excuse that a sea burial would be Islamic tradition. Also if they really found him why wouldn’t they just arrest him and give him a process? I’m not buying it.
There are photos and a DNA test that were not shared publicly. It’ll be a good FOIA request in 50 years.
i agree. it’s very strange they immediately disposed of his body and never showed proof. and then a few years later there was that scandal where multiple people were claiming to be the seal that shot him. seems fishy to me
never showed proof
Do… do you think that these forces always snap a pic of the body they just killed and post it to social media and msm? When was the last time you saw proof of death for one of these targets taken down by special forces. I’ll wait.
don’t gotta be condescending friend
If it’s Osama, yeah, absolutely.
I would definitely take some selfies if I just headshotted Osama. Like they were allegedly doing some epic firefight with him inside his bedroom? Least you can do is pose with him. But no pictures at all? I smell bullshit.
Okay that was me shitposting, but seriously, if you take down Osama out of nowhere after 10 years of silence, the lack of any kind of proof is very fishy imo.
That Target’s entry into the Canadian market was designed to fail from the start so that Walmart could swoop in, take over the entire logistics chain and ensure people get to keep their jobs to quell the concerns about Walmart becoming a monopoly in Canada.
Target failed so spectacularly that from my perspective on the inside it had to be by design. When the stores first ooened there was no stock available because we were shipping goods on trailers with no skids, packed floor to ceiling at random then expecting some poor souls in the back rooms of Target stores everywhere (likely with no previous logistics experience) to unload, organize the product into categories on skids and then take them out to the aisles to be put on shelves. We should have been building skids in the warehouses for months until demand settled and could be fulfilled by maximizing trailer efficiency with floor to ceiling loads.
There were an unbelievable amount of blatant inefficiencies and Inventory Control was deliberately understaffed so we ended up with a warehouse with thousands of open rack slots but the system thought the warehouse was full. Multiple layers of this kind of shit were going on and every time we voiced concern about it, management told us to just keep our heads down.
I swear some execs with nice golden parachutes conspired to ensure Target failed so Walmart could swoop in and save the day, breaking through the public concern about monopolization.
I like this one.
Spirit Halloween stores are a front for rich people to laundry money. I heard they make less then what it cost to run. Which makes them a perfect right off for the rich.
laundry money
I was going to let this one slide, but then you went and said:
Right off

Target is so bad at everything that their continued existence anywhere is the thing that requires a conspiracy theory to explain
Elon Musk is paying anti-immigration and anti-trans groups like the Tanron network to spread their rhetoric on social media.
Oh wait that one is true. Filthy piece of shit.
As an immigrant.
Cats are aliens from another planet. A much warmer planet with less gravity!
- Nothing else explains why a cat will lay in the sun on a very hot day like it’s nothing at all.
- They also radiate the heat of a small pizza oven.
- They act like we’re their servants in very un-animal-like ways.
- They push things off of places all the time, like they’re expecting them to float not fall.
- They’ll be completely normal, then take off running like their tail’s on fire, just to relish in the high gravity that allows them to jump and land a very short distance away.
the feds and big corpos are spying on you and the only reason you’re still alive is because
a) you’re a small fish
xor
b) you help them in some way by being a usefull idiot
xor
c) you’re part of the conspiracy
Or d) the wizard of Oz is going broke and can’t keep up with everyone
xor of n values ia true if odd number of them is true, so in your statement it means either one or three should be true
Years ago I had fun with “what if the US never actually went to the moon”. I did not believe it, it was just a nice plot idea, we even made a pen & paper oneshot about it. Nowadays I have no whatsoever fun in thought experiments like this, because the real threat of someone believing it to be true. I want to enjoy “birds aren’t real” or “giraffes do not exist” or … the worst is flat earth. It started out as a joke and now idiots try to proof the earth is flat, proof by accident it isn’t and then question rather their methods than their belief system. We just can’t have nice things.
I swear I remember flat earth being about questioning science and coming to conclusions yourself… As it’s a pretty simple thing to figure out…but I can’t find any information and no one has even mentioned it even starting as something not crazy…
Then somehow flat earthers arrived at designing actual good experiments which demonstrated the earth is indeed round and then rejecting the data they themselves collected.

Damn… time for a re-run
You know how some people believe Paul McCartney is dead and was replaced with a body double? I think that happened to Jontron at some point before the incident.
Well now I’m curious the last thing of his I saw was the flex tape video.
Shortly before the flex tape video, he announced he was going to appear in a debate with another Youtuber named Destiny. In this debate, he claimed that “Rich blacks commit more crimes than even the poorest of whites” (direct quote, I shit you not), and that Donald Trump had never said anything racist. It was completely out of left field and shocked pretty much everyone.
My theory is kind of a joke, but I seriously have trouble believing that these are the same person. It was so sudden and so random that I want to believe that there is some other explanation as to why it did. Up until this point, Jontron had stayed fairly apolitical. On the very rare occasion he’d share an opinion on Game Grumps, it would be the most milquetoast moderate thing you’ve ever heard. To jump from that to retweeting actual Nazis for praising him for saying what they believe feels completely insane. It’s easier to accept that there is some sort of sussy imposter imitating him than to believe this just happened.
Turning the serious off for a second, I think that if anyone knows the truth, it would have to be Arin. I don’t think Danny was involved. He might just be blissfully ignorant.
Washing machines double as portals to another dimension which is populated by sock loving aliens who want to save the cost of manufacturing their own socks. When socks go missing in the washing machine, the aliens end up getting free and clean ones. The next time you see someone who claims to make washing machines, check if they have an otherworldly affinity for socks.
RESIST ALIEN SOCK THEFT! Use a mesh bag to keep all your socks together in the washer. Human sock retention is everyone’s responsibility!
Silly aliens, they don’t know how to make their interdimensional portal technology resist these dreaded “mesh bags”… Yet! 👽
I got another one (that’s pretty much a fact) in order to get facial recognision, fingerprint sensors, etc working you have to login with your ms/apple/google acc, on windows 7 you didn’t have to… now why would you need an online connection to setup a piece of physikal hardware with local sofyware??? It’s pretty simple: apple, google and microsoft know your face, your fingerprint, your voice, your location, etc
At least on iPhones, it’s all on-device.
