I was asked by MN to change my previous user name because it had 8888 at the end. I think it used to be used on teletext when I was a kid?? No idea and it was just some random numbers i chose randomly. Anyway its a white supremacist thing. Much embarrassed was I

Was the old code for subtitles on teletext?

Whaeanui · 01/04/2023 16:12

Yes, ‘a ok’ it means, we do it in NZ, divers have to use it, it’s very common. I guess less common in the UK maybe but not unusual.

I've no real idea. just a vague memory of all these 8s coming up and some incomprehensible writing. 😂

jeffgoldblum · 01/04/2023 16:16

@purpledalmation wow really! , 8888 has a secret meaning too, god I'm really behind the times, I remember teletext too! , I had a post deleted a while ago for telling another poster to get back in her box , after she was attacking me , apparently this was a personal attack! , however it's always been a phrase to politely tell someone to shut up 🤷‍♀️

jeffgoldblum · 01/04/2023 16:18

@GrinAndVomit , I might be misremembering but I'm sure it was the code for the weather on teletext ?
There was once a whole index , you could even book holidays!

GrinAndVomit · 01/04/2023 16:19

I think it’s just 88. H is the 8th letter of the alphabet and apparently white supremacists use it to convey a “Heil Hiter” message.

jeffgoldblum · 01/04/2023 16:20

Really that's rather frightening!

StormzyinaTCup · 01/04/2023 16:20

It's available as an Apple emoji👌!!
I think therefore we are all 'a OK' to use it in the traditional and well known way freely and without recrimination.

Whatever next!

What are we implying about MNHQ? 😁

It would be so easy to use these numbers and signs completely innocently and then be accused of being a neo nazi or something else.

I guess Twitter is full of this sort of stuff, o vaguely remember Prince Philips black eye being down to an initiation into some cult, and all these photos of people with black eyes were produced as ‘proof’

the whole Q thing was fascinating, how people could be sucked into it, posting all day every day, waiting for signs, crazy stuff.

jeffgoldblum · 01/04/2023 16:28

I've never been on twitter, I only see what posters link to , is it really filled with all this awful stuff?
I'm really worried about my kids and others seeing this stuff in the future!
I doubt there is anyway to put the genie back in the bottle now is there?
I think I may have lived a very sheltered life to be honest, most things now shock me 😱

Q Anon are bonkers. I mean proper screaming bonkers

Howsimplywonderful · 01/04/2023 16:32

@jeffgoldblum

I never use it, just for very rare things. I don’t like it personally. I don’t think kids have any interest in it either but I could be completely wrong too

jeffgoldblum · 01/04/2023 16:32

@purpledalmation , I think I've heard of q anon aren't they the one's involved with trump and the white house riots?

My mum's 88 this year. Will she become an official Nazi then? To be fair, she could be quite strict when I was a child.

jeffgoldblum · 01/04/2023 16:33

Hope you're right @Howsimplywonderful 🤞

jeffgoldblum · 01/04/2023 16:34

@MarshaMelrose ! I should not laugh 😂, but I had a strict granny too !

Just clear her wardrobe of any brown shirts just to be on the safe side ! 😜

Um , why was planets post deleted? , I didn't report it , wouldn't have thought it broke talk guidelines?

She doesn't like brown but she's very partial to black. Oh no, the evidence against her is just stacking up!
I'm just dreading now that she might use the ok sign about her pudding in her rest home and she'll be evicted.

Thank you for clarifying that, Jeff.

I had wrongly assumed you’d had it deleted and I apologise.

I know my post was heated (sorry) but I didn’t think it broached the guidelines.
