Hexbear has existed for longer than the Confederacy.

I-was-saying In my day we had downvotes and a Korean Soldier broke our internet

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It wasn't funny to break the website as a joke

And we had wreckers who just would not give up on a dumb John Kerry meme

Feels like the world's only gotten worse since then.

About five years ago is also when I first came out as nonbinary and got told it'd just be a phase by my family

Well I'm still here and I have y'all so the world is good sometimes

And after all these years, we still aren’t sorry for offending slaveowners. John Brown did nothing wrong.

Anybody who tells me happy cake day today is getting an album of my hemorrhoids as revenge.

Edit: HAHA YOU FOOLS, HEMORRHOIDS IS MY CAT'S NAME! YOU'RE GETTING CAT PICTURES INSTEAD!

HAPPY CAKE DAY (i like hemorrhoids, i think they are neat)

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Until you've had them. That shit sucks.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 days ago

my partner had them some ago and it was a literal pain in the ass. needless to say i eat a lot of fiber nowadays.

EW my hexbear is five years old and if your account anniversary isn't today you're a fucking liberal

[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

[–] ScreamoBMO@hexbear.net 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

My account anniversary was the 25th, liberal

[–] Pisha@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago

I refuse to accept that 5 years have passed already

[–] Super_Lumalo@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's kind of amazing that I've only been here since GenZedong shit the bed. So while I'm not old old, I still have been here for a while. Time do be flying for all of us don't it? It's nice being on the only good place on the internet, and it's nice that it is here.

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Don't worry... me too tovarish (in fact, you might know me from a different account in lemmygrad.ml)

[–] Super_Lumalo@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

Do recognize you, the posting during federation was really fucking fun.

[–] Crucible@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago

Never relax. You never know when the silver legion's plans will finally come to fruition.

[–] neo@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

and yet my birthday is on the 25th. hmm phoenix-smug

almost Christmas means it wasn't Christmas

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 13 points 4 days ago

i wish i had discovered it sooner

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago

Nah the anniversary was 4 days ago

[–] Salem@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago

I think Hexbear grew out of its growing pains by early 2023, with the exception of the dunk_tank shutdown incident.

This vibe has been the norm since that year, I think.

Hexbear is old enough that people who were teenagers when it launched may feel old for the first time because of this post

Dort_Owl was born 5 years ago and already is a glorious phoenix flying in the sky, so proud of us.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago

Today? A couple weeks ago or so, I think.

Another anniversary! Unlimited caik day onto chapo.chat
