1. Upload Topic A
2. Comments discuss Topic A
3. OP edits post to Topic B
4. Comments reflect Topic A discourse.

When Topic A discourse is applied to Topic B, it changes the entire context and tone of the conversation. I’ve seen it used to make humorous posts where the OP was transparent about the fact that they would change their posts to make the person responding to them seem crazy. While being upfront about that for the lulz is fine, it can easily be abused if the OP has ulterior motives. The OP can post flamebait, some people fall for it, then the OP edits their posts to seem more grounded and reasonable, while making the people replying to them seem unreasonable.

All that said, I’m sure the mods have change logs of posts and some people would definitely notice the edits. Not to mention the Way Back Machine.

I’m sure someone smarter than me could come up with worse abuse of the post edit system, and why it wouldn’t really matter too much in the end.

For me it’s more kicking me while I’m down. I do not need a new windshield right now, life!

I’m talking out of my ass, but it could mean that the natural conclusion of democracy is mob rule, where nothing matters besides the sentiment of “the mob”, a large group of like-minded people. Here he was falsely accused of theft but because enough people believed the lie, he was taken to jail based solely on sentiment.

Yeah, someone’s just having a bit of fun.

Nothing wrong with dining alone, I think.

I don’t understand how cereal box puzzles would translate over to DnD.

I also don’t know about ripping off movie and TV characters and just swapping out the names. I suppose it depends on the character, but I feel like this is the easiest one to tell that it was “stolen”.

Using Pokémon descriptions for monsters is aces though, even if you use the older mons. I think Monster Hunter monsters would also translate over pretty well.

I think he means Linux is the failed OS.

it means you’re racist against people from Atlantis. You make me sick.

It also means “Advocation of or support for cooperation among western European and North American nations regarding political, economic, and defense issues.”

I feel you on the subreddit names though, and I feel like that is happening here as well as many communities are just old subreddits that migrated over. I especially dislike the naming convention of using “porn” as a suffix like FoodPorn or ArchitecturePorn, as that can very easily drive away people not familiar with the naming convention. I hope (maybe naively?) that that will eventually turn around, but only time will tell.
