AidaP is scraping Mumsnet threads, and grading them

Honestly, this man is obsessed. He has now created a program to scrape and grade Mumsnet threads from this board.

What is this?

Oh yes, I have downloaded most of mumsnet and we will be doing embeddings of the content to try to understand how does the rot and hate builds and spreads.

I never had so much hate and delusion on my hard drive before 😅

When I was growing up in Lancashire many years ago, the dried fruit in Eccles cakes was always currants. Nowadays I gather other fruits can be added. Is nothing sacred? 😉😁

Edited

My Nan used to make rock cakes and I was usually given the spoon and bowl to lick. Finding a random currant in the leftover mixture was a real treat.

One of my idols has fallen 😭

I'm sorry, but I must live according to my own values. It would be craven of me to bend to the will of The Crowd [or the Reindeer Herd
in a meretricious attempt to retain popularity.

<rises to her feet>

Hate me if you will, but you will never break me or deter me from declaring: raisins are an abomination!

<grasps lapel with one hand, gesticulates grandly with other and addresses the crowd>

Hier stehe ich.Ich kann nicht anders.....I could not love thee, dear, so much/Loved I not honour more....Fourscore and seven years ago......I have the heart and stomach of a king....Le coeur a des raisins que la raisin ne connait pas....The price of freedom is eternal vigilance....

and so on😁

An eccles cake and chips was my diet of choice from the school canteen during my A levels. Given the grades, it clearly didn't do me any harm.

Haven't had one in years, and now fancy one....

Hasn’t he got a job? Or…some sort of life to be getting on with? I guess not. Oh well, Hi Aida! 👋🏼 Flattering that you’re so obsessed with us I suppose 😂

He needs to get a life. Get some friends. Get a hobby. Go out occasionally. Stop scrolling. Talk to other men online and leave women alone.

This strikes me as an incredibly male thing to do. And spend time doing.

Why doesn't he go trainspotting, twitching or fishing? That's what most useless pointless males do with their spare time.

No reputable academic would touch the data if he hasn’t worked out how to remove copy and paste quoting, surely? Who would support such a flawed paper?

The first set of Aston "researchers" talked about Mumsnet having unexpectedly high levels of "priming", which is computational linguistics speak for "Alice used a word, which put it into Bob's and Carol's heads, making them more likely to also use it". My first thought was "I bet they didn't remove all the quoted text before analysing posts". The quotes repeat sentence fragments verbatim, creating an illusion of priming in the replies.

AidaP is a legend 🤣

As in he doesn't really exist, he's just a myth.... A relic, a fiction. An instructive tale to scare children with.

Now, a proper coconut revel I would try. A spherical mini bounty.

Dessicated coconut is the scraped-off smegma of Satan.

I don't think strong enough eye bleach exists.

Right, thanks to this thread, I've been on grapetree.co.uk and ordered a mountain of chocolate raisins, chocolate peanuts and chocolate honeycombs.

I was forced to spend £35, in order to get a 15% discount.

Yes, yes I understand mathematics and no I didn't really need to spend so much but fuckit

I'm blaming you all, jointly and severally.

Apart from @HazelLemur because we all know that men are never to blame for anything at all, ever, since the world began.

But it's ALL his fault actually, for calling people "poppet"
That's what started it.

That is interesting.

I think any research done on language patterns on MN and other sites like MN would be meaningless if they could not counter the quoting within posts.

He had the audacity to accuse us all of having sad lifes . Maybe he’s larping our “sad lifes” as well as our sex now!

have none of you tried the M&S chocolate covered custard cream? my teeth itch thinking about them, but by golly they are delish when you are craving that sugar hit

I did, and was very disappointed. They are far, far, too sweet.

See I thought that and then I looked up what currants are and they're a kind of fancy raisin.

Catiette · 30/04/2026 07:55

Just looked that up. Or, at least (forgive me), AI says: Currants are essentially tiny, intense raisins.

What a fabulous definition. Sudden images of a crowd of baby raisins jumping manically up and down demanding our attention.

Yes, it’s something of a misnomer. I always thought currants were dried, you know, currants, but they're grapes. Makes no sense.

Taytoface · 30/04/2026 08:02

I always know my period is coming on when my craving for a dark chocolate bounty hits.

I imagine every cinema seat in the country has a half chewed pile of coffee and raisin revels underneath.

EmpressaurusKitty · 30/04/2026 08:07

100% cocoa chocolate is the absolute best. Especially the Montezuma one with orange bits in it.

And I do eat more when my period’s due, come to think of it.

borntobequiet · 30/04/2026 08:12

My desire for chocolate was not affected by my cycle, but I went off coffee pre-menstrually, and I realised I was pregnant the second time when the smell of it, usually so pleasant in the morning, made me feel sick.
