There’s only one skeleton for me.

This is the mental equivalent of Saitama’s workout from One Punch Man: 100 sit-ups, 100 pushups, 100 squats, and a 10-km run. (Repeat daily until your hair falls out.)

I’m speculating, but my guesses are:

• Gathering enough karma to post on subreddits that have a minimum threshold.
• Getting enough post and comment history to pass a casual inspection, either by human moderators or spam filters.
• Maturing the account to the point where it can be sold to another shady company.
• Generally having a lot of bot accounts ready, just in case.

Once mature, it’s usually used for spam or astroturfing. There is a noticeable uptick around big elections, wars, etc.

I saw one repost-bot that metastisized into the most vile porn-spam-bot you can imagine, but they’re usually more subtle than that.

They’re indistinguishable because they’re copied from top-voted posts that are a few years old (title, text, and image if applicable). It’s guaranteed to produce a post that fits the community and gets a lot of engagement, so it’s a cheap and effective way to mature a bot account. Once you start looking for it, it’s everywhere, and Reddit admins don’t care.

Important question: Should dragons be equipped with explosive reactive armor?

This bike can.

Florida Man strikes again.

Freedom sounds intensify

I assume this guide is for engaging the F-117 in midair hand-to-hand combat after you’ve leapt aboard. But in that case, where are you supposed to get dirt? Bring it with you, like some kind of peasant?? Just use your sword like a normal ninja.

UTC is better than most, but leap seconds are still awful. Computers should use GPS or TAI everywhere. Dealing with time zones and leap seconds is for human readability and display purposes only.

CBOR for life, down with JSON.

Clippy knows all and sees all.

It’s a parody of overserious memes that are trying to sound edgy and badass. The archetype is a gun-wielding skeleton that’s riding a motorcycle and saying something about thin blue lines, but wolves and other imagery are also adjacent.

Instead, THE_PACK takes that aesthetic, cranks it up to 12, and adds some silly text. Everyone is role-playing as a skeleton that’s obsessed with motorcycles (hogs). You have to TALK IN ALL CAPS to be heard over the engine noise. And everyone’s friendly and welcoming in a way that edgelords aren’t.

A few great examples from the last year or so:

• Exhibit A
• Exhibit B
• Exhibit C

IMMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT THIS MEME ABOUT CRANKING HOGS WOULD BE WAY BETTER IF IT HAD FLAMING SKELETONS IN IT.

Can anyone prove it’s NOT an extra-long cow?

Old hotness: Swing Wing

New hotness: Transform into bipedal mech

• Exhibit A: YF-19 variable fighter (bonus points for backwards-swept wings)
• Exhibit B: A-2 Viking armored mechanical hybrid

US Army logistics catalogs are organized this way. “Cookies, oatmeal” instead of “Oatmeal cookies” because it’s a lot easier to find what you need an a giant alphabetical list.

Those fish know what they did.

You’re quite right, but this forum is for non-credible ideas, and we need something to counter the T-59.

Gatling railgun, only 1/6 the barrel wear per shot.
