I am starting to enjoy fantasist threads and posters

With added troll bingo?

This. We need a section for the creative writing trolls.

They are a mix, usually you know they will get swatted

There are bison in the UK. Farmed ones anyway.

I haven't seen the sea serpents but the wolves and the bisons IIRC start with some country is going to introduce or reintroduce a species and It Ought Not To Be Allowed. After that MN posters take over and the flights of fancy are really something. The only thing I recall clearly from the wolves was that Britain isn't really an island and wolves can swim the Channel - which yeah, is a bit contradictory, but no-one reads those threads because they make any sense.

Besides a link I need someone to explain to me what sea serpents and bison threads are because I feel that I'm missing something really special here

I enjoy the animal stories and the piss taking comments!

Aren't there wolves, as well? all the entertainment from those comes from the pisstaking posts.

I still want to know how the three year old child has turned into two university-age young adults and is cooking all their own meals. (Ready meal madness.)

They should be allowed to remain as classic fiction.

Sea serpents and bison threads just get deleted.

I really need a link to the sea serpent threads

Honestly those threads are just really sad :(, i feel like they need help

I think the same person writes the bison and sea serpent threads.

I like the bison ones, because she/he takes his/her time moving towards bison involvement, so there is an element of is it or isn't it.

I love all the 'My kids are still eating the chocolate selection box they had for Xmas in 2018'

Or the ones where it’s 2 days after Xmas/Easter and they’re asking what they can possibly do with all the ‘leftover’ chocolate. It’s not left over, it just hasn’t been eaten yet, how about you give people a chance to eat it? 🤣

I'm a sucker for them when drunk on a Saturday night and I'm not that fussed about what I dispense my fabulous wisdom on

I love the physics

"I put a chocolate wrapper in the bin at work and my colleague looked at me funny"

"You need to quit she is wanting your job, and if you hang around she is going to go after your man girlfriend protect yourself"

The food madness ones are mad. As I am now old I do feel obligated to go on the UPF ones and say obviously living on biscuits is bad but this is just the latest FAD people

I read that UPF thread and I read the Van Tulleken 'experiment' - in inverted commas because it didn't sound much like a controlled and rigorous experiment to me and more an excuse to write a book - and wondered just how many ED's this is going to trigger.

Yes, they’re very funny. When I discuss mumsnet with friends that use it, it’s always the crazy ones that get mentioned. If my partner knows I’m on here, he’ll ask what made up shit is there this time. 😅

The only ones where people make up things about illness/death of other serious issues and people who have genuinely dealt with those issues get sucked in offering support are horrible though. Mumsnet believe way too much.

I love the ghosty ones, there was a great one where a packet of cheese jumped out of a fridge and wacked the OP on the shoulder, and another one where there was a weird noise at the end of the garden but the OP jumped the shark at the end and ran away.

So do I, the Ultra processed food threads are insane but I suspect they are just polls for TV programmes or media articles but there I am reading them all😄

Yep, or, "you have a whole tin of soup for lunch, and a slice of toast", "we share between seven of us, no wonder there's an obesity crisis", blah blah.
Or the opposite, "your DS only eats five slices of pizza, mine eats 12 whole pizzas as a snack and is the skinniest 13yr old in the entire world".

Rice fucking Krispies. Someone on that thread legit said ‘well they aren’t a breakfast, they’re a dessert.’

Have they never seen a chocolate cake?
