The graffiti says “Lie-dee-die-dee-dee-dum, Lie-dee-die-dee-dee…”
“… Come out ye black and tans…”
90% of the english people that say this shit couldn’t tell you what the IRA was fighting for, why they existed or anything about the history of the matter beyond “catholics and protestants didn’t like each other innit they’re always fighting, terrorism is bad”.
They just see “terrorism bad” and that’s it. No other thoughts. No other knowledge. Genuinely the cognitive understanding of a toddler.
The fun part for the dude is that right now he’ll feel fully justified in thinking that is now-ex was crazy and he was hard done by, but if he starts to accumulate even the slightest modicum of life experience this event will start to haunt him.
Anyone who tries to portray themselves as a victim and explain how something is particularly offensive to them by saying “do you realize I’m British?” deserves the unyeilding fury of a thousand car bombs
Indeed
This is every thread asking for relationship advice on Reddit. Every last one of them is effectively structured as “My BF was unimaginably cruel to me, and I had a totally natural reaction to it, am I in the wrong here??” If it hits the top of r/relationshipadvice, there has to be a 50% chance it’s either real or a total fabrication. They all know to go to r/relationshipadvice to ask their question, but they ask as if they’ve never even seen regular top content on the subreddit, which likely would align directly with their situation, and yield them the same advice. Any of these “ask reddit” subreddits has to be an exercise in creative writing, I swear. Edit: Also, most of them never actually reply to anyone in the comments, which really signals to me that these stories are just made the fuck-up half the time.
TITLE:
My (21F) bf (39M) was a little mean when we were out for dinner tonight. I broke up with him. AITA??
BODY:
I (21F) and my bf (39M) of 6 years went out for dinner tonight, and he had one too many beers. This isn’t usually a problem. For context…
«insert a few more paragraphs of creative writing here»
Then he slapped the waiter, punched a few kids, then stood up on his chair and started shouting, “WHITE POWER! WHITE POWER! WHITE POWER!” Also I am black. I told him I was going to break up with him if he kept doing this.
AITA?
Sometimes you can’t even make up the worst ones. I read more than one story that was basically:
“I’m 9 months pregnant with our first child and when I told my husband I’d be due around the 3rd week of March he became outraged and told me ‘I’m going to a golf thing with the boys that week!’ and even though I explained to him that having him there for the birth of our baby would make me feel less stressed, he told me ‘well I can’t just reschedule this trip, you know I go on this trip every year! I’ve already paid for it.’, am I being unreasonable? He hasn’t talked to me all day.”
My SO reads these subs, and I’ve pointed it out enough times over the years that now she can’t unsee it either. I’ve never once seen a story like this that isn’t a straight couple, either. I really do think the queer community has the right read here, the straights are not ok. Also, I bet you could just search for the word “Golf” on r/relationshipadvice and find hundreds if not thousands of stories about these golf dudes. I’m highly suspicious of anyone who regularly goes out with the boys to play golf as a result.
I tried searching for just “golf” and the first result was Am I asking for too much in my three year relationship, where a woman describes her relationship with a man who:
- Doesn’t see her during the week and spends most Saturdays doing sports all day
- Doesn’t seem to enjoy taking her on vacation while going on lots of trips with “the boys”
- Sends his friends cheating-related memes on Tiktok
I think you’ve cracked the code
Yeah, major red flag! Golf, not even once.

The only thing it’s okay to get together with the boys to do is kill Nazis.what’s this pic from? should i watch it?
It’s from episode 3 of Creature Commandos, a DC adult animated series. I enjoyed it, though really the parts with GI Robot are the only great ones. Watch through episode 3, and then watch the rest only if you’re already invested by that point.
thanks, I’ll try it!
All the best ones really bury the lede in the title. This one, for example, is some A+ creative writing material:
TITLE:
AITA for making my sick husband clean up his vomit?
BODY (summary):
“He keeps puking all over everything, over and over again. He’s got a garbage can right there, next to where he’s sitting. Then after he pukes all over everything he goes to a place where there’s no garbage can, and I move it, and then he pukes all over everything there, too, and makes me clean it again. AITA for not putting up with this very real situation???”
That’s exactly how my sick cat behaved, lol
You need to break up with your cat. Sorry.
your cat is asshole
for real would it be so hard to puke on the tile instead of the carpet/bed/sofa??? My cats are determined to make me scrub

Apparently quite a lot of them lately are literally just fabrications from ai bots that have been fed other askreddit type posts so it’s even worse of a thing these days
It’s to generate content for TikTok reddit reader videos. I’m pretty convinced
It’s the circle of liiiiiiiife!
Its ragebait
Many parts of the internet could do with this disclaimer:
“The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.”
most useful thing about /b/
I apply it to everything, hexchappo included. Unless you see video, the person posts their name, ID, address, etc. and there’s public records, it’s not real. I’d like to think there aren’t any grifters on here, but there should always be enough skepticism to watch for rage bait. Other websites, even ones like Facebook with people’s real names, should be treated as thought they aren’t real. Anonymous text like on reddit and 4chan? Definitely not real.
Too many people take everything they see online at face value. The only person you can know for sure is yourself. You can learn a lot of cool shit online and meet even cooler people. Just don’t believe everything you hear and see.

This isn’t reddit thing. There’s a lot of people esp women trapped in toxic relationships
I’m very aware of that, however, I’m also very aware that Reddit is full of people just making things up for points. I also know there is a practice of buying and selling accounts for marketing schemes. The well is heavily poisoned.
I just don’t see the salience in calling them bots. Sure, they might be, but these stories are happening, women really are in these relationships
Yeah, I can agree with your perspective here. This is clearly one of the many ways Reddit and the internet at larg is harmful. Men writing fake relationship stories posing as women dating bad men wraps all the way back around to harming women in real situations by sowing doubt among the collective stories once a percentage is found to be false.
“Lol I’m so offensive” mfs when you make edgy comments against groups society kisses the feet of instead of the local minority being used as a punching bag this week
I’m not racist! I hate everyone equally!
(😬 😬 😬)
“But those poor white farmers 🥺”
Shut your bitch ass up
Keep singing until they are driven completely out of your country. Life lesson: never date your past oppressors.
top comment on that thread is “as a fellow irish 18F [a fellow 18F… like what???], I can understand blah blah blah the IRA are terrorists, blah blah blah”. one of them chatgpt bots
[a fellow 18F… like what???]
Sadly people on the internet did seem to somehow internalise this kind of tabloid vocabulary from 20 years ago. Or at least i hope those are bots.
Westoids are embarrassing
A lot of countries could justifiably say that the British national anthem is a terrorist song, but since the British had paperwork, for some reason they don’t see it that way.
It’s pretty rich to say someone fighting against a literal genocide based on resource extraction is a terrorist. As the saying goes, one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.
The British killed more people than the nazis (over a longer period, granted).
Terrorist doesn’t even begin to cover it. The union jack should be viewed with more disgust than swastikas.
We don’t know how many died because the british burned all the records, the germans made the „mistake“ of keeping extensive recording, even in the colonial massacres.
At least israhell leaves plenty of unavoidable material that they on almost unanimous basis comit genocide.
The amount of wealth and people killed in India alone is staggering. Several trillions of dollars in minerals, lumber, fabric, gemstones, food, etc. and millions killed through enforced famine or colonial cops/troops.
I hate how much praise the royal family gets (and the rest of Britain’s nobility, for that matter). They’re sitting on top of endless amounts of blood money so they can live their lives without having to work while enjoying the most expensive luxuries available.
No no, Britannia rules the waves with kindness and good vibes actually
Irish pub drinking songs fun af, he was just jealous the Brit ones aren’t as good, also
.They’re so bad America made them into a national anthem
I mean on the scale between “we must stand for the anthem because otherwise it would put us to sleep” and “even soldiers can remember melody and at least first few lines” US anthem is pretty high so it’s at least functional.
The graffiti says “Lie-dee-die-dee-dee-dum, Lie-dee-die-dee-dee…”
… in the sea.
Westoids are the most embarrassing creatures
most Brits are still unionists or crypto unionists and think the IRA was just ontologically evil
Opposite energy of me getting an northern Irish girlfriend in uni by shutting up an English guy who was calling the IRA terrorists before she could get over to lamp him.
