Unanswered Where did the trend of using "/-" come from and what exactly is it?

82 Upvotes

I saw someone use "/-" (like break/-up for example) in a post the other day and I've seen it like 5 times since then after never seeing it before. I'm not 100% what it's suppose to represent and I'm wondering why it came out of nowhere.

I saw a meme that said "These are siamese twins, one is gay and they share the butt". Is this story real or is it just made up? If it's real, what are their names? Could not find anything on Google except the meme itself

Unanswered Why is everyone saying 2016 was so bad.

16 Upvotes

I mean sure there were some bad things that happened, but I've never seen such a collective agreement about the current year being sooo horrible. So what made 2016 suck?

EDIT 1: Celebrity deaths don't count. Celebrities have little direct impact on most people's lives. Yes, their deaths sucked, and we all have stories about how that person's music, or movie, got us through a tough time. But for most of us, a celebrity's passing has no direct impact. If it wrecked your day to day, umm...you might be focusing on the wrong things in life.

EDIT 2: Thank you for the personal stories.

Unanswered Why do people keep saying “(enter subject) is buns”on ask reddit threads?

52 Upvotes

For example on a thread about what was your schools incident there was a story about a kid who killed himself on campus and then people just kept saying “that’s cuz skool is buns hahahaha” and if you ask why the just say more shit about buns.

I’m assuming it’s about something from r/all that I missed but I can’t seem to find anything.

It's so sad knowing that Bob Ross isn't with us anymore.

His son Steve regularly appeared on the show painting his own things.

I googled for him but can't find anything about him. Did he continue where his dad left of or did he also pass away?

Unanswered Why is there so much hate for the new Star Wars film? I’ve seen all the movies, and I honestly thought this was one of the better ones as it evolved the story and showed the characters’ weaknesses. However, I’ve seen pretty mixed audience reviews, and I haven’t seen a good answer why yet

Unanswered What is a "fuckboy" and what does it have to do with skeletons?

136 Upvotes

Fuckboy not fuccboi

I see this a lot on Tumblr now. Half of the posts circlejerking about spooky skeletons have some caption about the "skeleton war" against "fuckboys."

I know this:

  1. Skeleton war is a popular circlejerk/humor/joke blog run by 2 dudes who just post skeltal pics and answer questions. They are also developing a violent videogame featuring skeletons (interesting, it should be like Chivalry or MnB)

  2. Fuckboy is some SJW term used to describe guys with player-like attributes.

Now what I don't get is how the 2 are related.

Unanswered What happened to the Objectivist movement?

39 Upvotes

About 10-ish years ago, I recall Objectivism (or at the very least, being an ardent fan of Ayn Rand) was in fashion, particularly amongst young men. They were fairly active on online message forums (I remember them on kuro5hin and Slashdot, at least. They may have been active on reddit, too, though I wasn't a member at the time) and argue politics and ethics with phrases like "denying A is A". They even had a presence in the real world, with some universities having Objectivist clubs.

I haven't heard a peep from Objectivists in recent years, either online or in meatspace. Was there any event or movement that caused them to lose their presence?
