Durp Snark #162: Snarking Dopers since 2009. It's taking longer than we thought

And this is the way the Deth ends
And this is the way the Deth ends
And this is the way the Deth ends
Not with a snark, but with a flameout.

Between the spelling , and the WWII history , and the D&D it's like I'm back in high school

I'm bingeing on My So-Called Life. The drama seems tamer than I remember.

He needs to show the ModMins how eeeevil the pit (excuse me, PIT) is so they will shut it down, so no one is allowed to say bad things about him*. How he expects us to be forbidden from doing that is left as an exercise for the student.

*It really chaps his ass that anyone, anywhere, is allowed to say bad things about him.

[Someone]

I'd like to remind everybody that despite all his "The Pit is bad! Pitting another Doper is terrible!", he Pitted me. As I recall, he expected the Dopers to draw and quarter me. It was more of a boomerang Pitting.

For his next act, he’s going to punch himself in the nuts, “just to show us.”

That beats all the pie recipes.

Or maybe he learned to stop worrying and love the pit? After all, it allows him to troll all he wants, spout all the nonsense he wants, and do just about anything but intentionally mutilate posts without sanction.

FWIW, that’s why I love the pit too: it lets me respond to trolls, bigots, and all around dumbasses the way they deserve.

We are two sides of the same coin, he and I. Only I’m heads, and he’s an ass.

[Someone]

Don't flip that coin. Surprises happen, you know.

[Someone]

Okay, it seems there were some deletions in this thread, and if so, thank you modmin for flushing that homophobic turd.

[Someone]

Darn! I always miss the good lame trolls.

Noted willfully obtuse Durp Whack-a-Moron asks an FQ question that's been repeatedly answered in Trump threads he's posted in, and even asked the question in, repeatedly.

Of course, more than one Durper also failed to understand what has repeatedly been explained in relevant Trump threads, and posted factually ... err... flawed answers. And fail to comprehend the corrections more knowledgable people have replied. This thread should go as swimmingly stupid as one would expect.

And succeed at "Fighting Ignorance. It's taking longer than we thought", in typical Durp fashion.

The creation of a daily alternate reality is a well-oiled machine

Noted moron mixdenny demonstrates that he doesn't understand the operation of a common childhood toy, and so proposes a way to violate the laws of thermodynamics, if only we could get people to ALL cooperate in backing up our cars simultaneously at red lights. Oh, and we'd all have to drive Priuses, and they'd have to have a few hundred pounds of that mechanism, built in. And it would still violate the laws of thermodynamics, operating by his incredibly moronic understanding of how it works.

I actually had a guy do that to me once, sorta. My old pickup had folding load hooks around the top of the bed, and some dildo on a bicycle grabbed on at a stop light to get a free boost. I was shifting out of 2nd when I saw the idiot back there desperately trying to yank his sleeve off a hook. No sudden moves; I just rolled off for a moment and he made a desperado lunge to escape. I bet he never tried that trick again.

Some fake internet points, but very few, to the ones who can guess who, of course, has a wonderful foolproof plan that no one has thought of before and definitely would have averted catastrophe:

they’ve stated it wouldn’t survive a collision with a cargo ship as far back as 1980. If they didn’t want to spend the money for barriers then they should have used tugs to ensure safe passage.

Hint:

He's the one who also thinks that motorcyling commandoes should have been airdropped to save the consular officials at Benghazi, and also thinks that the West could have stopped the Russian invasion at minimal cost and risk to themselves.

[Someone]

actual snark!

I got it right away, before reading the hint. The hint told me I was right before clicking the link.

I’m just curious, has the broomie intervened yet and explained how a bridge should be built to prevent this in the future? Certainly she built bridges before.

Hey, @What Exit?, I have a suggestion for you to do as a Durp Mod. See if you can find a way to get posts like this that quote cornfielded posts to say "Cornfield" instead of "On another topic". It would be cool, and it would tell everyone that the quoted post will be nowhere to be found in the thread.

I can do that, but I would have to change the username, I would consider it, but it would cause more problems than it is worth for us. We do a lot of documenting behind the scenes to help look for socks when a new(ish) poster is problematic or seems overly familiar.

There was one troll I did that with. but Bull was a trock. So easier going forward not to mess with names.

You forgot:

They totally could have put out the Notre Dame Cathedral fire by dropping, literal, tons of water from aircraft with no damage to the cathedral.

Oh, well, they all blur together when it's morons, followed by morons, on top of other morons, with morons commenting on what morons posted...

In other words, Every day at the Durp.

From Notre Dame on fire.

[Someone]

OK, it was him. I don't know how to come up with a sufficiently stupid response to that.

[Someone]

I’ve just got to offer a big thank you to the person who gets up early and sweeps this place clean of the trolls, I mean the dirty rotten spammers. Your efforts are appreciated.

She really wanted to know about lines used in drawing figures, at least I think that was her schtick. She almost made a full year.

How do people who draw legs make lines between thick legs or thin legs? Do you draw lines farther apart for thick legs? Or do you draw lines closer together.

I'm probably overstating the case. She wasn't even that comprehensible.

[Someone]

What happened to the post that was snarking on iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiandyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 's stupid money for Hamas suggestion?

[Someone]

It got swept under the mess in the back yard and the poster’s status was changed to dirty rotten spammer.

There's a terrible post in the Trolls R Us thread.

Wishing death on someone. It's hidden in a click me link. I'm appalled. That poster is battling a terrible illness.

Terrible person should maybe retract that, and apologize. I oughta flag it. But I'm not gonna

Learn to link things if you want to talk about stuff.

Against my better judgement I decided to look for it, just to see how wrong your stupid paraphrasing was going to be, but I can't find whatever you're talking about.

I don't think it's a wrong paraphrase, just a contextotomy if this is the post in question , which clearly seems like a joke to me.

Reminds me of when I made a bad pun on the Dope and someone who I had on ignore replied "hanging's too good" or something like that, and people started discussing whether that was wishing death. I would have defended him even though he was an asshole except that it took me awhile to even figure out what they were talking about and I didn't feel like defending the ahole enough to keep clicking on their hidden quotes.

Who the hell are you? Against my better judgement I choose to think "hey, you ain't my grammar teacher" Get over your false sense of superiority.

I can't find the stupid thing. vB needs to make it a dropdown on the username, but maybe they figure if they make it that easy to ignore someone then nobody will be left for any of us to read.

Late Edit: I never paraphrased nuttin'. tiny little joke, making fun of a line in a movie, for total understanding and all

A joke? No, I think ASL is clearly actually wishing death on posters who like pineapple on pizza. As is only appropriate, of course.

Hey Weedy, you’ve been on vacation? Missed ya…

Iggy list is in your user control panel, about the 10th item down, left side, Edit Ignore List.
