Thought or not
Filth Flarn Filth, perhaps we should autoreplace bad words with Filth Flarn Filth.

MeTa post:
Too much steampunk?
I think there need to be MORE posts denouncing steampunk, honestly. Let it just get rabid and frothy until there's an ironic backlash where it's so counter-culture to actually do it, that it becomes cool again, and then both of our heads will explode.
I have to admit though, that post was really thin. Shoulda just emailed the moderation distribution units for subterflation.

I just looked back and saw my first comment in the blue was in a steampunk post. So yes, I can confirm that yes, we have reached the limit. There.

History from a witness.
I'd seen it right before coming into MeTa, but thank you for this post, where I saw the other comments.

Whoa - security/cookie issues?
*Is it normal to be occasionally confused with [having to constantly encounter someone else's intimate self]?
*If I [look at the person closely] - it takes me to [their outward persona]... But I cannot edit anything

I can raise the temperature of a room by one degree with my mind

MetaFilter: It is what it is
As far as the "path" I do kind of lament hitting popurls and then seeing something from there subsequently end up on mefi. But it's nice to see sometimes, because I'd much rather read the comments and reaction here than anywhere else. When the comments seem to somehow drift over from those other places too, that's when the lament starts to creep in.

+1 for inchoate. I'd have used nascent, but that's just me.

Give me disorder! In reverse descending order!
The visual image I came up with was putting metal megaman-like knee caps on a pony. Then you could just have it ram stuff. "Mommy look, a pony! Amanda wait, that pony's been kneecapped!...Run Amanda! EEEEEeeee!!" tromp Tromp Tromp TROMP TROMP - Blam!

Every now and then I go back to this comment and laugh my ass off. It still holds up after all this time.
Every now and again I wander back to this comment and crack up laughing. It still make me giggle after all this time.

Aww come on! The Metafilter future crime division is totally going to languish if the user precog visions are not acted upon.

Education with your host, DaShiv.
Yeah - TMFIG. I'd be reading the comment and going holy @#%...holy @##@! So much so that I clicked through into his profile, into his flickr page, just staring at his head, wondering how all that knowledge doesn't make it the size of a file cabinet.

Neverending Stories
Maybe what we need are more regular "so, didja eat it?" follow-up MeTa threads?
Personally, I'm wondering what happened with this and this.
Or maybe just allow the OP to post comments to the thread after the 1-year limit?
That'll happen right along when an OP's AskMe comments are made to stand out, and with the creation of AnalogMe. By which I mean, won't happen at all.... [more]

Facts do not respect majority opinion.
What we now spell "heaven" was, back then, heofon, heofen, and heofne. "Evil" was yfle, yfel and yfele. "Forgive" was forgif, forgef and forgeaf.
In light of the constant progression of language, while I don't mind the correct answer, the chastising of those who have the "wrong" answer seems silly. Majority opinion seems to become fact many times, in the case of language.... [more]

Please, for the love of all that's holy
In the case of Metafilter, the user facing bannination can log in and post normally, but suffers a constant random stream of low-level technical glitches that gnaw away at their confidence and generally make their experience an unhappy one. Of the entirety of their long post, only the first few words appear. Their one-liners end up multiplied by 2 or 3. They get opaque error messages. Their login keeps timing out whenever they refresh the page. Links which should be at the top of the... [more]

Stumpers in the blue.
Someone please, please find the answer to this Ostrich picture question. I just know I'm going to be 80, wondering about this, if the answer isn't found. I contacted National Geographic and they said they couldn't find it in their collection. Pleeease help me sleep at night (when I'm 80).

You can take your two cents and shove it down your neck. Just kidding - I agree and I think pr0n is a much better choice. That said, there's a picture of someone's hand down an ostrich's neck that must be found.
