I think we need a lighthearted section

Am I the only one? I know you can't force humorous threads, but when one turns out just right, it would be lovely if it could be found under a specific section.

Right now you have to browse through numerous scary/sad threads to find that little gold nugget to brighten the day.

I'll tell you a shit word 'faeces'. I scoured the op's posts and I can't find a single shit word, not poo, not crap, nothing

iklboo · 21/03/2020 15:18

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 21/03/2020 15:18

Nope, we can verify OP is definitely not using shit words!

theoriginalmadambee · 21/03/2020 15:22

windy she is lovely, looking quite guilty Grin.

If the Thights cannot get a LIGHTHEARTED section instated on MN noone can. But atleast I tried Grin.

Well said OP.

I am so so fed up of the rampant level of health anxiety and hysteria on MN at the moment. I gave it a wide berth for a week and it's no better.

My little granddaughter started trying to walk today but kept falling over with laughter. She's truly brightened my day.

@SambaMamba
Tidally is used to indicate tidal events.
Facebook isn't tidal.
There's always one poster with knickers and pearls hoiked

'Lighthearted' has been around quite a while... some people could pass the time whilst self-isolating by reading some Shakespeare Smile

iklboo · 21/03/2020 15:41

A bit thank you Dangly. Just tired now. Good job we're not going anywhere for a bit Grin

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 21/03/2020 15:47

If all CV post are in the topic, and you hid the whole topic for a couple of hours a day, you'd find a whole different MN

I've hid the topic but is there any way of stopping the threads coming up in the Trending Now sidebar? Or can I turn it off?

I keep searching for lighthearted threads but even when I find one someone pops up to say there are serious things going on and how dare you laugh!

AuntieStella · 21/03/2020 15:54

I don't think they can suppress them from Trending, but you could avert your eyes and use 'Active' as your browsing start point

EdithWeston · 21/03/2020 15:55

There's always one poster with knickers and pearls hoiked

That sounds painful!

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 21/03/2020 16:03

Thanks AuntieStella

TitianaTitsling · 21/03/2020 17:34

@SambaMamba high tide or low tide? Hmm

I am stocked up for tonight, and if the beer brewing goes ok in 4 weeks I will be sloshed. Grin

Spudlet · 21/03/2020 19:40

We should call it the ‘No cats’ bums unless the rest of the cat is also present’ section 🐱

theoriginalmadambee · 21/03/2020 19:54

I just wished for a humorous section to avoid all the scary, angry and mean stuff. (Push quivering lower lip out).

I'm still waiting for my Mother's Day breakfast in bed. It'll be sodding lunch at this rate.

Totally agree. Have hidden AIBU and the CV topic, shut my eyes past the Trending box, but still the feckers are scare-mongering everywhere.

I KNOW it's scary and it's real. I am being so sensible I could get a Brownie badge in it - now can I read about something else please, ideally nice things, friendly things, funny things?

(And yes, MBE for the Thighlanders)
