I also choose this guy's wife

Like all good things on reddit, it got beaten to death, but that OG use was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in that site.

Someone was experiencing paranoia and suspected his landlord of breaking and entering his house and writing stuff on his notepad and such. A reddit commenter asked him to check for carbon monoxide levels and it turns out his home had higher levels of co and could have turned fatal. I am always inspired by that and how a random person can save another person's life by sharing his knowledge in time. That's truly legendary.

Poop-knife

Dirty-talk attempt: "Yeah, you like that..? You fucking retard?"

Guy with two penises (apparently it was fake, but at the time it was my favourite thing)

the camera one where he shows how he took the photo with no hands

That one has to be one of my favorites too

Dude was committed to the bit.

"Today you... tomorrow me". Love that story and it's searchable on other sites thankfully if you want a heartwarming story.

The one from the guy who had an intruder in his house watching him do homework all evening. He only found out when his parents got home and they saw the notes the intruder had been writing on his bedroom door. I get so creeped out just thinking about it.

[–] momentary@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

What were the notes about?

Spez's AMA was legendary, in the sense that it was a complete disaster. I still can't believe how self righteous and tone deaf it was. He doubled down on calling the Apollo dev a liar after the dude released the tapes!

The guy with the broken arms

[–] postgeographix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

"I also choose this guy's dead wife"

[–] Matte@feddit.it 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the dude who decided to try heroin, documented it all, and descended into hell.

those posts still give me the creeps.

[–] samyboy@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Ohh yeah. This post history was intense.

I think I’m scarred for life from the Swamps of Dagobah. And I can’t look at coconuts anymore.

[–] Skooshjones@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the coconut story is my #1 for shock stories from Reddit lol.

I still love eating those sweet shreds though haha.

The guy who had to commit to not knowing potatoes, had me in tears.

Who is that spooky undead axe midget?

That’s Durotan’s crotch.

There was someone who would reply to askreddit questions and spin up some story that always ended with his dad beating him with jumper cables no matter what the original question was about.

Beating your kids isn’t funny, but this guy’s stories were a riot.

[–] jalda@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

The guy that pretended not to know potatoes

β€œI may need to get rid of a lion”

And the vile jackass who wanted to force a woman to parent a child she signed over to him

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I loved getting fooled by u/shittymorph
