Topic Wiki

With so much happening on DDF, there are likely many gems that you missed because you weren't following that specific thread. Well I say, "no more!" If you come across a post that you feel deserves a wider audience, whether it was very informative, funny, or deserving of being highlighted for any other reason, post it here.

A few proposed rules:

1) You cannot submit your own posts.
2) Provide necessary context.
3) Quote properly and provide links. Don't say, "Yo, check out Dan's post about RC. It's friggin awesome."
4) Let the person know in the original thread they've been "Best Ofed"
5) This thread is only for DDF. One liners, articles, pictures and videos etc. from outside DDF all have their own threads already.

List of a few of them:
"May your flights depart on time, your apps get auto-approved, and your MS never backfire." -MMGFARB
"Please only reply if you can actually answer the question and not litter the forum with useless Sarcastic banter." -Shnozolla
"Even a broken clock is right twice a day. You're the broken clock." -Baruch
"Sorry. Look at the bright side I just "bump"ed you" -NafNaf12
"I bribed the Guard $1 at the Anti-Corruption Unit to let me into the building - Just for the novelty." -Suave

I'm just gonna ask you guys one favor. It's no big deal if you are posting good stuff like recommendations or answers to people's questions in order to boost your posts, but please don't clog the forums with stupid things like "Great idea" or "Thanks" or similar posts that are meaningless. You know what I'm saying and you know why I'm saying it.
if only they would listen...

(best of in term of advice, maybe a bit different then the spirit of this thread)

Just heard back form legal, they said to add a disclaimer that the US Department of Health recommends limiting ones diet to 5 servings of popcorn and 2 servings of kool-aid* per week.

*In recent studies kool-aid has been shown to have a direct link to increased appetite and intake of crow.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Nominating @biobook for a best of, not necessarily for a specific post, but for consistently adding and sharing knowledge in a humble, empathetic manner. Especially considering that in this online world hidden behind screens, some tend to be nastier, snarkier and less understanding than in real life, even if we aren't anonymous.

Case in point:

*not posting the text because of the length.*

Thank you!

Conversation 1:
Am I the only one sitting by my computer hitting the refresh button on this page




...while filling my Amazon cart with $600 worth of stuff:


Then when you get the remaining $1400 you can pay the dentist
Why are you blaming @YitzyS that’s what his kid told him to buy... it is the kid’s $600 after all, so he should decide what it gets spent on.



Conversation 2:
The term "lockdown" is so abused. Going into quarantine with your family is not a lockdown. Entire cities and/or countries not being allowed to leave their houses for 2 months is a lockdown.
Spend a week with my kids and let's see if you're still singing the same tune...  :D
Nobody told you to spend your stimulus check on candy... :D
