In my years on here , these are my observations from then , vs now. How I imagine these classics would go now,

Cutted up pear -

Oh really . ...? How do you know the small green fruit identifies as a pear huh..? It might be an Apple , how dare you assume it's a pear. That's it you lost me at pear.....

There is a tiny Vietnamese lady in my garden
That's it you racist misogynist- how do you know she identifies as a lady huh..? Have you learned Vietnamese and asked her? She's probably got mental health issues . I will not read on due to your use of ablist language and assumptions. She might be Chinese . Racist ,!

Yoni massage
SOS !,,,, there is A MAN posting filth !!!! Call the internet off immediately! Shut it down shut it DOWN !!!!!!

Pom bear anyone ?
Pom bear ? That's it you must be a troll . No adult eats Pom bears , not even for an irony based funny thread on an internet forum. Pics or it didn't happen , or a diagram.

Any thread moaning about a man
Yeah - yeah yeah and yeah. I never say this but LTB

Any thread moaning about a woman
Hang on , how much house work do YOU do? how are the finances split.? Are you married. ? I'd leave you you selfish prick . She's not there to pander to your needs and who owns the house ....

Can I admit this here .....
NO!

My wife fancies another man
Why? This must be your fault . Do you kiss the ground she walks on daily and throw rose petals in her path before she walks there ? No ? Then you have only yourself to blame

My husband is having an affair
Burn him . Do you have a patio ? See a solicitor immediately. Confront him , no don't confront him you might be wrong and it's just not worth finding that out before you're ducks are in a row and don't forget the birth certificate

I spent a tenner on a chicken
And? So ? Chickens here are £150 per square meter what do you want . .? It could feed your family of 15 for 6 months, don't you care about animal welfare ? Well of course you don't else you'd be eating grass , wouldn't you . I bet you eat eggs and drink milk in your earl grey too eh ? Some fucking people are so entitled.....

And so on . I miss the old days .

How big are the chickens in that imaginary land if they price them per square meter?!

You forgot the <lighthearted> in a thread title you see all the time now.

Back in the old days if anyone had put <lighthearted> in a thread title they'd have had the shit ripped out them for being so stupid

ssd · 13/08/2023 22:21

Lighthearted ^

If we are doing MN then and know and not cherry picking 'classics'

No one is better off living on benefits, threads filled up to 1000 posts of in jokes about goats and big tv's and being obvious tories, to multiple threads filled when the benefit cap being brought down to only 26K

'I want to pay more tax ' meme that was popular a couple of yeas ago until Corbyn targeted tax bracket to those earning ~70k a year

10 years ago it was the on trend 'current thing' that all their DS were wearing pink tutus and sparkly leotards, boys clubs should be dismantled and pronouns should be respected and the 'slippery slope' argument was just a dogwhislte.
