"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move." -The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
- Law of Bug Report False Alarms: About 80% of all "bug reports" are either intended features of the software or purely the fault of the one posting the report.
- Out of Sight, Out of Mind Law: For about 30% of all forum users, nothing exists on the forum or any given subforum, opened threads excluded, that requires scrolling in order to be seen.
- General Linux Discussion Law: As a general Linux thread approaches infinity, the chances of the following happening approaches 1:
- Ubuntu bashing
- Linux Mint bashing
- systemd bashing
- All-round Linux bashing by Windows fanbois
- Richard M. Stallman's "GNU/Linux" rant being quoted either sincerely or, more often, ironically
- "I use Arch btw"
- Rice screenshots
- Support requests by newbies
- Law of Confirmation Count: Any post that is seconded by someone will also be "thirded" and so forth. Similarly, "me too" will be followed by "me three". No exceptions.
- Adaptation War Rule: As the discussion of any fictional story with a popular adaptation approaches infinity, the chance of flame wars between those who know the original and those who only know the popular adaptation and are mostly unaware of the original approaches 1.
- Secret Society Law: Subforums for real-life meet-ups are always visible only to registered members, if not even only to those with a two-digit minimum post count, in order to shield meet-ups from foreigners (presumably they mean people foreign to the forums, not literal foreigners).
Law of the Ungrateful Bastard: If a new user has started a thread looking for a solution to a problem, and one is found, that user will never be seen again, much less post what the solution was, give thanks for it or mark the thread as solved.
Online Shithole Law: The higher the new-moderators-announced-per-given-time-to-users ratio, the more likely something is inherently wrong with a forum.
- Tough Act to Follow Rule: If a new user pops up out of nowhere with an amazingly good creation of their own, they will cease any and all creativity henceforth.
- Law of Conservation of Reply Length: The longer the full-quote, the shorter the actual reply.
- Digital Immigrant Phenomenon: It's easy to tell forum users who are unfamiliar with any digital devices beyond pocket calculators.
- Their user name looks like it could be their real name and probably is.
- They write forum posts exactly the way they'd write a letter.
- They use line feeds within the same paragraph which also show how wide their screen is.
- Even though they could use the signature for what it was originally conceived for, namely something akin to the signature at the end of a letter, they don't have one.
- If they have a profile picture at all, it's their passport photograph.
- "Clueless and Careless" Law: Every forum will sooner or later encounter the sort of newbie who didn't even know forums exist right before they joined and start posting right after joining, the sort that can be identified by these attributes:
- They start new threads about topics about which at least one thread already exists within their own field of view.
- They never give their threads meaningful titles.
- They always drop their threads into which subforum they happen to be in because they've neither understood nor even noticed the existence of subforums.
- They never reply to their own threads, either because they don't know that's possible (or how to do that) or because they can't find their own threads after the mods have put them into the right subforums.
Found the German" Law: German users are easy to spot on English-speaking forums.
- Their translation from German to English is worse than Googlish to the point where you need to be fluent in German to understand their English.
- They use Capitals and Punctuation in English, where it would be correct in German.
- If something has a German and an English name, they can't be bothered to look up the English name and use the German one instead. At best, they translate the German title into English.
- They're likely the only ones on a forum to not see the GDPR as a nuisance.
That's a rather nice reaction score I've got here.

I swear one more "weed cat" joke and I'm gonna lose it!

This year's gonna be a great year for gamers. Or a great year for me, at least.
"The algorithm is so advanced. It knows exactly what you want."
No it's not and no it doesn't. The algorithm will see me watch a video about peas and then shower me with videos about peas. I don't want to watch videos about peas. It was a one time thing.
"Napoleon was average height for the time."
That doesn't mean he wasn't short it just means everyone was short.
Hey you! Yeah you! Did you know that Liberty Mutual helps you customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need?
