[SO VERY NSFW] Fake or Not? The site will show you ten pictures of boobies, a pair at a time. You must determine whether or not they are augmented. Wes Cherry, creator of Solitaire for Windows, aptly cites it as one of his three favorite websites. [via memepool]

Doesn't work at all. I studied 20 tits but the game claims I only viewed 10.

<offtopic> Yup MeFi via MemePool; back then I liked MetaFilter more because memepool had this habit of posting big long winded posts with lots of random links in them.. MeFi was more succinct and to the point.. I mean catscan - genius. Sigh... (Now I've turned to reddit for all my simple linky goodness) </offtopic>

Another memepool convert. That place was my first daily-visit link blog, back in college. I still have the t-shirt I won for my entry in this thing. (I was "chests", and also the conceptual artist and photographer behind "palm", which featured my friend Roj. Bifecta!) It's a good t-shirt. They didn't cheap out. It's sad that those image links have rotted away.

Trivial. I went 19/20 after I decided it was too easy and started clicking "yes" or "no" instantly upon a new picture without taking any time for, er, deliberation. So either I have a great eye or I look at too many digital boobies.

Yeah, memepool. Me too - either I found mefi via memepool or memepool via mefi; it was a synchronous kinda thing. That didn't at that exact moment in time feature pics of tits and it was good.

By: davemee

I think I had the metafilter/memepool synchronous discovery too... but damned if I could ever hit the right time when registration was open (I did, eventually, only 6 short years later...). Memepool. Wow. It updates around once every 6 months these days, almost skipping a year at one point. Joshua Schacter, the guy behind it, gave us GeoURLs and del.icio.us. He's one of the good guys.

I found MeFi independently and much, much later than memepool. But my first thought when recognizing MeFi for the first time was like, "Oh, it's like a memepool that actually has regular new posts!"

By: not_on_display

not_on_display — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:27:53 -0800

One reason I posted this in the first place was that I was very surprised that it wasn't a double, especially it having been the only thing on memepool in the past few months.

Didn't get linked here from memepool, but I was a daily reader of it well before I'd ever heard of metafilter. I still check it weekly. I don't know why I think it'll suddenly start updating again, but if it did, I'd know. (More recently started doing this with permanent monday as well. It's a little bit morbid, like visiting a loved one's grave every week -- but doing it because you're not quite convinced they're actually dead.)
