Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I don't mean gross stuff like SomethingAweful.

I'm talking someone's fever dream neocities page that details how to make a UFO engine using element 115.

A blog that is wild conspiracy stuff that has aged like fine wine.

Or some serial forum post that makes no sense but seems too complex to be performative.

17776 is a good example, if you're not familiar.

I went to the grocery store one evening and as I was walking towards the store, some guy pulled into the parking lot in one of those creepy old white vans. It was plastered with bible verses, stuff about anti LGBTQ+, anyone not Christian is evil, etc. It had a few pro Russia anti Ukraine stickers. I snapped a quick few pictures of the van and went grocery shopping. Guy looked like a typical religious weirdo so whatever.

Later, I was looking at the pics and saw a website. I went to the website and it’s the weirdest fucking shit I’ve ever seen. Like old geocities style all about how to identify the antichrist, anti trans, anti vaccine, anti climate change, anti science everything, just so much crazy conspiracy theory nonsense. I bookmarked it and saved a pdf copy of the website so I can go back once in a while and see if he updates it.

It was just so fucking weird that I wouldn’t be surprised if dude was involved in some weird pedo religious BS.
