Uhh as far as I know Coder just thought it was a good idea. It was in Mental Health Club, and he just sent a spoiler box full of a ton of emojis

Spoiler

... etc

He did it a few times and the mods made him stop because it lagged the page so much that it was almost inaccessible on mobile, but it kinda stuck and I just started calling it "pulling a Coder" for any spoiler box full of repetitive emojis or words

I know things like the stick, no mating, and anything related to Hoid, but anything else?

Spiked cookies, probably.

You should probably also mention LDS missions- since LDS makes up such a large part of the forum, members vanishing for 2 years does have a pretty big impact on the culture. @Frustration, for example.

Would you mind explaining those?

The spiked cookies I think started with @ChipsAHoid (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) and were a play on the usual spiking food and drink and stuff, but in this case it was literal Hemalurgic spikes through a cookie

Spiked cookies started in a huge roleplay series called the Alleyverse
It died a while ago but @ChipsAHoid kept the Hemalurgically spiked thing alive

They would know more of the origin than I (I don't frequent the RP section of the Shard) - the part they failed to mention is that the in-joke seems to be mostly kept alive in the Intro Threads section (3126 instances of "cookie" in those threads, and 147 instances where a post mentions both a Cookie and a Spike) - presumably as a way to help identify potential new players for the RP section. 

For example (note: clicking on the curved arrow at the top-right of a quote box will take you to the thread and post from which the quote originates. That's the benefit of using the quote feature over simply copying text, clicking the quote-box in the editor and pasting into a non-attributed box. Please see the Sharder FAQ for more info):

ok so the spiked cookies have been around for a long time. my older brother when he was on the shard was a pretty big alleyverse person and he created the longest thread (elephant earwax is my brother he got me into the cosmere and told me to join the shard in the first place) and i have some things that were from his time on the shard. thats where i got the disclaaimer which he once showed me and i also have a piocture of a spiked cookie recipe he made. its been around a long time. i think it was around his time maybe even before that that cookie was made

 

oh and @Ryn you should look at the last post wins a bit. for a while that was like our general talk about anything thread.
