Go into any thread and chances are you'll find 2 back to back pages of people talking and arguing about off topic things. Clearly some people are heavily invested in these topics so there must be something to talk about. Here's a few of my favorites. For those who don't know, the man kicking the child has Down Syndrome. Apparently the child startled him and he responded by kicking the kid. The dad being a dad knocks his rear end out. This is a great thread derailed because it's a lovely situation all around yet people will still argue that there's a right and wrong side to it. Depending on who you ask mentally ill people should have free reign to do what they want and the father is an rear end in a top hat for striking him. Or the father is a hero for punching a clearly mentally ill person. Personally I'm on the father's side of it. With just instinct and seconds to go by, I'm not going to fault him for striking a person who attacked his child. If that mentally ill man can't be trusted to not attack small children then he probably shouldn't be in public. My other favorite thread derail is Tipping. I'm a big fan of tipping. I know many people in the service industry rely on those tips for day to day life between their paychecks and many tipped employees actually make under minimum wage because they are expected to make up for it with tips. My sister on the other hand hates tipping. She claims she's already paying for the service why should she pay even more? Pizza delivery, restaurants, haircuts, not a single penny towards tipping and it makes me embarrassed to go out with her when she's paying. What I really like about tips deraling threads though is that it often brings out non-american goons to post and chime in. Regardless of what your stance on tipping is, the rest of the world agrees that America's tipping rules are weird and need adjustment.

In the vein of tipping, unlisted sales taxes. There are American goons who will actually defend this practice. Gun control, too. Apparently it is perfectly reasonable for the everyman on the street to have a tool that lets him kill two to three people at any given time before someone can react, should he choose to do so.

Personally, as a trans-black homosexual fox otherkin with pan-asian bisexual headmates who only crush on asexual fedora-wearing brony midgets, I think this thread is offensive. Let me tell you about how Ron Paul is going to save the world with bitcoins and why obama is secretly trying to take our guns because he worships Allah. Edit: I hate tipping and poor people too.

Anything to do with cardio, but especially treadmills. People have some weird ideas about how treadmills and cardio in general works.

Which way toilet paper is supposed to be put on the holder? Who gives a gently caress? You wipe your rear end with it! Just use it and stop thinking about it!

It doesn't start arguments, but I've noticed that if Family Guy comes up, a dozen people will be tripping over each other to hate it the most. Like, they can't sit idly by and not let people know how much they don't like it.Volume posted:What I really like about tips deraling threads though is that it often brings out non-american goons to post and chime in. Regardless of what your stance on tipping is, the rest of the world agrees that America's tipping rules are weird and need adjustment. Also, whenever a European comments that Americans take racism too seriously or are hypersensitive about it. Captain Lavender has a new favorite as of 02:33 on May 23, 2014 |

The whole tipping system is hosed it's just an excuse to pay minimum wage to hard workers. Every rich gently caress that comes into the shop expects full service at no additional cost because they never understand value until it infects them with HIV

Dance parties in the meme thread. Not only does it skirt around the old "no more than 5 .gifs per post" the "PYF .gif" thread has, posters are including anime dance .gifs (also a no-no in the old .gif thread).

WeaponGradeSadness posted:I have no idea what these people were expecting when they clicked on the "satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else's misfortune" thread. Probably has something to do with a lot of goons apparently misunderstanding/not knowing the definition of schadenfreude in the first place and thinking it means something like comeuppance. Anyways, the endless shouting match on whether or not pineapple on pizza is disgusting will never cease to amuse with its inanity. Or for that matter, any argument that results from goons' basic inability to accept that their opinions are indeed opinions and not objective fact.

Pizza places use canned pineapple, which I do not like on pizza. I used to be vehemently against it until my girlfriend had me try a pizza made with freshly cut pineapple. If you like pineapple and pizza both, you can try it out; I found it to be much better.

Ponies and furries will derail a thread pretty good most of the time. Usually not with any debate or anything unless someone decides to come out, but with people constantly just bitching about how much they hate both of said things.

That dude puts a lot of effort into his posts that I'm almost tempted to classify them as art. He makes a lot of convincing arguments too but rather than just say "Well that's just you're opinion, man" some will go to great lengths and word counts to try and discredit him.
