I feel like we need to explain dprk-soldier again, amongst other things

Our most famous meme is that the "40% of cops beat their spouses" study first went viral on r/chapotraphouse, our old subreddit.

The tag "Genocide Joe," referring to Joe Biden's support for the genocide of Palestinian people, may have originated here, from @VILenin@hexbear.net . I can't find earlier references, but it may just be one of those names that multiple people thought of at once.

Ask a better storyteller to talk about "Post hog."

[-] propter_hog@hexbear.net 38 points 1 week ago

I'll chime in a bit on the hog part. In the subreddit days of yore, we'd frequently get brigaded by the likes of r/The_Donald and other fascist hive minds, and when logic failed on them (logic always fails on fascists) we'd run them off with a bit of playful goading of their homophobia by asking them to post a photo of their "hog", or male sex organs. This led to an increased usage of the strategy of quickly dispatching would-be brigadiers with the phrase of "post hog". (As a quick aside, one especially clever Chapo once made a post entitled "Post hog" and the body of the post said "ergo propter hog", which was a silly reference to the logical fallacy "post hoc ergo propter hoc". Anyway, this is where my username comes from. No clue who that chapo was but I stole it because it was all I could come up with in the moment when making my account.) The hog business eventually led to other hog-adjacent shenanigans, such as responding to fascists with a picture of a pig with poop on its balls. This had a similar effect as the aforementioned homophobia goading.

Oh god, it's even better than that. The original "post hog," actually got a chud to post their hog. Somebody wore a chud down in an argument and eventually asked them to prove something-or-other by linking an image of their junk to reddit, and they went and posted their hog

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago

I was there for that. It was extremely funny. The username of the chud was something like "jaredsw" which means there's probably some guy from the southwest named Jared and I've seen his dingus.

To add to this, one of the commenters in that thread found his Grindr account almost immediately because the username was the same as his Reddit account. This incident predates the mods locking the subreddit the day that it hit 69,420 subscribers; I think we were in the high 40k range?

[-] Blakey@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago

it isn't okay to close the sub for a joke.

I actually don't know the dprk soldier thing. But the only thing I been think of when I see the post pic is "look at this dumbass".

[-] Moonworm@hexbear.net 39 points 1 week ago

Someone uploaded the image and it broke the site. That might have also been what made the image look like that.

[-] Gucci_Minh@hexbear.net 40 points 1 week ago

Yes, the image was corrupt in some way and it took down the entire site. I had a copy from that time and opening it on my computer instantly shot my cpu temp to 85C and took up something like 4GB of RAM

[-] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 39 points 1 week ago

The image resolution size was absolutely massive and processing it was the reason the site crashed

[-] dRLY@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago

Is there a link to the image? I must see it!

It's just a funny word

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

A lot of things like beanis are just cause it's funny. I've been using hexbear lingo irl long enough my co workers know what 'treatbrained ' means but there is for sure some dense terminology going on even when it's dumb as hell.

'Treats' are shorthand for basically any luxury to an extent but and to be 'treatbrained' is to have some sort of fetishism for some form of consumable or entertainment product. It makes more sense when read in context consistently.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

"treats" has an added connotation of... something like triviality, imo

like yachts are disgusting luxury but not a treat, treats are your cheesecake factory and video games

I think the love for :beanis: does also feed into the veganism espoused and practiced by many HB users. Beans are good. And they also have an association with farting which is also crude and funny. All round good

AOC is doing what the unions want her to do is from a legendary struggle session during the railroad strike 2yrs ago. A user called liberal socialist started spamming threads with it, eventually getting banned.

I forgot about president parrot until just now! We have deep lore, it's mostly silly and oddly bird based at times.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago

I have infected this site with birds.

I should bring back bird posting

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago

Birds are cool as hell. I'm a crow guy rn but working my way to other birdwatching. There is just an amazing and kinda exemplary crow community city right in the trees of my neighborhood that I've been keeping an eye on for almost 2 years now. We could learn from crows. They're the real neighborhood, the people are alienated units. I spent a day last year watching them build nests and not only were they strategically building nests so each one could get a view of other nests they were sharing materials, I'd see the same crow bringing stuff to different nests and kinda cross referenced it with what they wee carrying and it was pretty clear they were tsking what was needed to where it was needed even if it wasn't their nest. They built a community together. Crows are literally comrades.

I think I completely missed that. Care to elaborate?

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

My first bit on this site, possibly my worst lmao.

Fake news stories about a parrot (President Parrot, shortened to PP) being president and managing to be better than a real politician despite being a chaotic neutral parrot that just wants crackers.

president-parrot-patriotic

Beware, these are pretty cringe (but let's be real I've always been cringe) lmao:

Awww, now I miss Enver. Also, BASED_BALL is redundant with the outdoor cat struggle session.

Edit: And it's missing "UlyssesT killed Kissinger"

No one really even listened to it but for some reason posted on its subreddit.. In the dark times.

[-] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago

While the hosts balked at their own subreddit, it grew in size and power, becoming one only spoken of in hushed tones by others who feared the wrath of the dreaded tankie/berniebro.

Of course, I've suggested this and immediately gone off to play games instead of wax lyrical about funny internet posts. But maybe we could have some freeform series of posts or some shit?

Some hexbearspectives, if you will. Explaining the origins, post hog, ppb, the dope ass bear, president parrot, DPRK soldier, silver legion, upholding tc69 thought, when the federation tap got turned on/preemptive last resort, classic struggle sessions etc
