Cancerous Reddit reference. Please let that shit die I fucking hate what that site has become. It used to be my favorite and now there are too many bitter reminders
tbf hunter2 is an irc reference that practically predates reddit but understandable
More and more I find myself becoming the old man criticising 'kids these days' for thinking they invented everything
As I reminisce on the old days where all we had was some ASCII characters, a few special colour and formatting tags, and a /me to top it all off.
[10:00:00] temptest waveshunter2 was one of the top handful of highest-rated quote on bash.org, a site for voting what the funniest* IRC quote was, which was a big part of early 2000s internet culture.
bash.org is down, and they didn't show "added by" dates anyway, but here's a wayback snapshot of the hunter2 quote from June 4, 2004. So yeah, hunter2 fully predates reddit. (Going by my memory, that quote was totally there in 2002, too.)
* This is early 2000s internet culture so "funny" is 90% pointless cruelty and misogyny.
ah, yes, old bash.org, from back when irc quotes, flash videos, and weird geocities pages comprised most of the worthwhile content online.
edit: Huh, it's dead. When did it die?
i believe historically Bash goes down like that randomly from time to time. I actually did find the original post from there last night when I looked and it worked without issue, weird: www.bash.org/?244321
Anne frankly, I did nazi that coming. I literally came here to say this but boy, that escalated quickly so to the top with you! Lost it at 'This is why we can't have nice things' and then my faith in humanity was restored, my mind blown, and manly tears were shed. Well said. As a 'murican, I can confirm this gem has just won the internet and is doing it right. Just sayin', I know that feel, bro, and while that was a risky click, this post was a 9/10, 11/10 with rice, would read again. I see what you did there and it feels good man. You're doing God's work, son. I laughed way harder than I should have at your list that seems legit and totally nailed it. You - I like you. You magnificent bastard; you, sir, are so brave, a gentleman and a scholar, and seeing how you are a redditor for 4 years, this checks out, so I'll allow it. I regret that I only have one upvote to give for this cool story, bro. CTRL+F "about tree fiddy" was not disappointed. Wait, why do I have you tagged as "NOPE NOPE NOPE"? Nice try, you monster. You are now banned from /r/pyongyang What did I just read? Dafuq? I read that as "YOU HAD ONE JOB". I can't fap to this. No true scotsman could see that this relevant XKCD was bad, and you should feel bad. You must be new to reddit, so I'll see your cakeday and raise you a karma train. One does not simply rustle my jimmies, not even once. Jet fuel can't melt dank memes, that stahp gave me cancer for science, so that's enough internet for me today. OP is a fuzzy little man-peach, 2/10, would not bang. What is this I don't even know how is this wtf? Fuck Jenny. Circlejerk must be leaking. This will get buried but brace yourselves, some men want to watch the world burn right in the feels. When you see it, they'll KILL IT WITH FIRE! But this has nothing to do with atheism. Lawyer up, delete facebook, hit the gym, and SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY, said no one ever, so you wouldn't download a strawman. /r/dadjokes. Damn onions, you scary like a BOSS. whoosh. Since rule #1 is 'be attractive', I'll just leave this here: This is my [f]irst post, be gentle.
Edit: This blew up. RIP my inbox.
Edit2: thanks for the gold kind stranger
what reference?
Slurs. Understandable tbf.
I get the joke, but hunter2. Activated my fight or flight too
As /u/abc said (just now), it's an old IRC reference that was a meme before reddit even existed. Did reddit discover it and run it into the ground or something? My condolences...
Neat, didn't know that. It's not like it's a problem anyway - wanna know what redditspeak actually sets off a fight or flight response?
That should set off any fight or flight, that's just a cluster of red flags (and not in a socialist way!) of condescending egotism, combined with the vibe of that gossipy immature schoolkid stereotype:
Yeah, although it's interesting to realise that so much of 'reddit culture' was just looted from other cultures and then driven into the ground by a mass of culture-consumers who think they're in-jokes. Even small things like "this" are lifted out of a context where they made some sense (on sites that don't have voting or reaction emotes, where you have to reply to show agreement), then misappropriated and repeated on loop, taking up a dumb amount of space and effort to say nothing.
Well, you did Nazi that coming!
Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
