you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
Hey everybody. There’s been some rumblings lately from the higher ups that a few things need to change around here. In the spirit of community, let’s all do our best to come up with some good, wholesome new rules.

Rule: anyone who used a slur in their post gets a JINX. not gonna list the slurs and bad words here because i’m not going to jinx myself, but you know what they are. anyway, when you’re jinxed, for 1 week any words you post will get filtered and replaced with a paragraph from Moby Dick. to break your jinx early you have to mail a polite handwritten apology to the Something Awful LLC headquarters in [Missouri or Kansas or wherever the hell it is again, edit this before posting].

Rule: Lots of forums have Idiot Kings (or “IKs” for those in the know), well GBS is going to have Village Idiots. The village idiot(s) is(are) randomly selected from the pool of posters who have had a thread goldmined within the last year. The selected Village Idiot(s) are, for the duration of the month, subject to the inverse of every gbs rule except the prohibition on NWS poo poo.

Examples of normal rules everyone is subject to: “Worthless Posts: We do not care if you are drunk or high; please do not inform us of either.”
“Low Content Posts: Please do not make posts containing no content (ie, "first post," "hello, I'm new here," etc.).“
"Forum Fuckery: Don't gently caress up the forums or any user on the forums. If you post a malicious link (any URL with spyware or code designed to annoy people) you will be banned."


Examples of their corresponding inverses that the Village Idiot(s) must follow: “Worthless Posts: We do care if you are drunk or high; please inform us of either.”

Rule: Better be careful with the report button!! If, upon mod review, it is determined that the person youre reporting didn’t do something worth probating/banning them for, you will spend a week set to read-only for every forum except You Look Like poo poo and Business, Finance, and Careers.

Hey OP! I hope you have a really nice day and things go well for you. Remember that there is nothing to worry about and for the most part things will work out. When you come home, I want you to do one thing. I want you to really consider everything in your life and show appreciation for them. Then I want you to get down on your knees and suck my dick, you fuckman.

That's a pretty cool avvy too, though! Yeah. H_T_H's name is good and amusingly triggers the filter. The filter even changes his name when you quote him. Heh.

i don't know if it would count, but just in case that word you said would count as a slur, here is an example of what your posts would be filtered to under the JINX rule I suggested in an above post:

tenspott posted:

Next was Tashtego, an unmixed Indian from Gay Head, the most westerly
promontory of Martha's Vineyard, where there still exists the last
remnant of a village of red men, which has long supplied the neighboring
island of Nantucket with many of her most daring harpooneers. In the
fishery, they usually go by the generic name of Gay-Headers. Tashtego's
long, lean, sable hair, his high cheek bones, and black rounding
eyes--for an Indian, Oriental in their largeness, but Antarctic in their
glittering expression--all this sufficiently proclaimed him an inheritor
of the unvitiated blood of those proud warrior hunters, who, in quest
of the great New England moose, had scoured, bow in hand, the aboriginal
forests of the main. But no longer snuffing in the trail of the wild
beasts of the woodland, Tashtego now hunted in the wake of the great
whales of the sea; the unerring harpoon of the son fitly replacing the
infallible arrow of the sires. To look at the tawny brawn of his lithe
snaky limbs, you would almost have credited the superstitions of some of
the earlier Puritans, and half-believed this wild Indian to be a son
of the Prince of the Powers of the Air. Tashtego was Stubb the second
mate's squire.

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

I'm sick of everyone using jargon in here, people should have to define all the words they used in their posts.

all - each member of a set
define - communicate the meaning of
everyone - collectively, all people
here - this place, the Something Awful Forums
I'm - a contraction of 'I am', meaning the speaker, chaosbreather, is describing their state in the present tense
in - contained by
jargon - argot
of - a word that relates the preceding clause to the proceeding
people - humans posting to the Something Awful Forums
posts - messages shared on the Something Awful Forums
should have to - feel obligated to
sick - tired, or bored of, to the point of some form of psychological pain
the - singular definite article
their - indicates the following to be the posessions or creations of the human subjects in question
they - the collective group of people being referred to
use/using/used - exploit/exploiting/exploited, include/including/included or manipulate/manipulating/manipulated
words - a grouping of letters separated by non letters that when read communicate meanings
