I feel like we need to explain 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.”
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
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?
I was so annoyed about that lock lol
Me too. CTH was about the only relief valve that I got after dealing with my rabid Trumper coworkers. Where the hell was I going to go, Twitter?
I can’t believe we’re getting the “closing the sub for a joke isn’t okay” struggle session ityool 2024
it isn’t okay to close the sub for a joke.
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.
spend enough time in the southwest and you’re gonna see a jared’s dingus. it’s inevitable.
Screenshots from 4chan saying “do not post on chapo. they don’t get baited. they don’t even get triggered. they just aggressively ask for pictures of your junk. honestly i feel really uncomfortable now.”
R/cth popularised “ok boomer”, though I think the demographics since then have massively shifted
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.

Do you disagree?
Also the photos of her crying at the border are basically a meme at this point considering all the compromise she’s done since.
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”.
Someone uploaded the image and it broke the site. That might have also been what made the image look like that.
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
The image resolution size was absolutely massive and processing it was the reason the site crashed
Is there a link to the image? I must see it!
lol thank you
@Bureaucrat@hexbear.net is a shared account. One day, a user just gave it away by posting the password and saying they didn’t want it anymore. Like 20 of us logged into at the same time and found out the site didn’t break. So that’s why you’ll see the pups talking to themselves…it’s multiple people all sharing the same account.
A real testament to the immortal science of Marxism-Leninism-Moo Dengism the account hasn’t been banned or misused. Just like we share a single, giant, comically large spoon, we share a comically large bit account.
Ulysses is a former user who has gone offline to touch grass. This isn’t the first time he’s done this. The first time he did, he said it was for opsec reasons. Henry Kissenger died the next day. We suspect Ulysses got him. Ulysses came back some time later, posted for a bit, then deleted his account to go touch more grass. That’s when the CEO got clipped in NYC. We think Ulysses was behind this assassination as well, with Luigi being some patsy chud Ulysses framed so he can continue getting away with it.
Also don’t forget to put “main” in your post when posting on Main.
Man how has nobody mentioned “kill all slave owners” yet? That’s the whole reason the chapo subreddit got banned in the first place (ostensibly, of course)
that’s really part of the true origins: kill all slave owners, john brown did nothing wrong, spez is a paedophile who dreams of owning slaves, etc
BEEP BOOP COMRADE.

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

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.
Do not mention a former Obama Admin Secretary of State who ran against Bush in 04.
Reporting for doody!

We need a !lore comm where we have the source for every emoji, every tagline, even a bunch of the past pivots/struggle sessions/rule changes.

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
Amber
Volcel Police, whataboutism
Edit: Aw, looks like lemmygrad.net lapsed; it used to point to !shrekland@hexbear.net
Awww, now I miss Enver. Also, BASED_BALL is redundant with the outdoor cat struggle session.
Edit: And it’s missing “UlyssesT killed Kissinger”
I’m so upset that I never got the chance to not post on CTH3
You can still not post on c/chapotraphouse3
