I mean... it's not exactly nice, but it's not something I'll think about twice. It's just really frustrating that people don't use search, create topics about the same rusting thing and justify it by saying it's hard to use search and don't realize they're only making using search harder. It did come off as kind of rude, to be honest.

Well, if I told somebody to throw the garbage into a trashbin instead of just dumping it on a boardwalk, I'd probably also come off as rude. Edited September 21, 2016 by Oversleep

There's a difference between "hey dude, no littering! We all gotta walk here too, you storm-cursed lizard crab thing!" and "Hey, would you mind picking that up?There's a garbage bin just over there. Thank you! " Aaaand every variation in between. Your choppy sentences do come across kinda bossy. Just something to keep in mind for next time? 1

Yeah, probably. (Although my post was intented to be matter-of-factly. I'm surprised it gathered seven downvotes; I'd understand two or three but Argel's post was undoubtely nicer than mine and it still got downvoted just as much. Was it really that bad or just a little rude? I mean, I've seen posts more rude not having even half of that.)

Voidbringers. Again. Just got the Damnation things out of my pantry. Now they're in my wi-fi router. Next they'll probably in my washing machine.

Actually, it's the dryer, and it's not Voidbringers so much as black holes. A very tiny black hole, though, so the most it can eat at a time is, like, a sock. That's what happens to your missing socks. The other end of the black hole is a white hole that opens up into someone's closet. The gravitational forces twist and rend the socks into tangled coat hangers, which are spat out into the closet. 7

Assassin in Burgundy he/him Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Because I kind of worship Brandon's books, I treat them with sometimes unnerving respect. Me: Hey what are you doing? Brother: Oh just dog earing your copy of mistborn. Me: NO NO NO But yeah. That's one of my larger pet peeves.
Oversleep Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) When people force a situation where it's unpolite to tell them off, ignore hints that they are not wanted and then take offense when you do. Like, it's 2 am, my sister just got back from a night's out and she barges in my room because "it's weird to eat alone". No, it isn't, PEOPLE DO IT ALL THE TIME. YOU DO IT ALL THE TIME! Not to mention I don't want anybody over my shoulder when I'm using the computer as anything I do would be commented on! And it's like 2 am, it's the middle of the night! What the hell?! (And don't eat on my bed, using the plate or not, it's my bed I would have to clean, not yours) And of course she'll probably act offended tomorrow when it should be my right to let people in my room or not.

They're fossilized gremlin tongues. Gremlins inhabit mechanical devices, but when their end is near, they crawl into the back of a cupboard to die in piece. Most of their bodies evaporate into the aether in minutes, but the tongue hardens to a plasticlike substance and closely resembles tupperware lids. 18 hours ago, Morzathoth said: My headcanon is that she works for the SCP.

SCP stands for both Secure, Contain, Protect and Special Containment Procedures. It's essentially an organisation that protects humanity by hunting down various supernatural entities, ranging from stuff that's more odd than actually dangerous to full on eldritch abominations, and finding a way to lock them away where they can't hurt ordinary people... or shatter their fragile mind. They may or may not already have rebooted huamanity a couple of times after full on apocalypses.

Those theories are silly, of course. Redacted, Inc is quite a dull place to work all told. I promise. (Though I do harbor a theory that Kansas City's weirdly twisted road system actually hides a complex glyph that keeps an Elder God slumbering.)
