Not exactly a story, but a picture thread on Reddit where a guy posts a photo of his tattoos on his arms, and someone goes “how did you take this picture”, so he posts a selfie showing him balancing a phone on his shoulder, and someone replies “wait how did you take that picture” and then he posts a photo of him taking a photo of him taking a photo… and this continues until he reveals multiple complex camera setups. Such a legendary thread.

My IP is banned. I’ve never seent his forum before. Tf?
What the fuck did I just witness.
There are several, but one that kind of haunts my mind is the story from the guy who experienced another life in a blackout and had it all torn apart by that fucking lamp.
Dude got Inner Lighted
The story of how a woman lost her daughter because the grandmother didn’t believe that the girl’s coconut allergy was real, despite years of watching the parents trying to find out the allergen so that they could stop the girl from winding up in the emergency room. The grandmother kept the kid overnight and used coconut oil on her hair; the child went into anaphylaxis and died.
The mother said that the grandmother begs her to see her other grandchildren, as they’ve now cut ties with her; the mom’s response was, “You can come over when you bring my daughter with you.”
A horrible story of how some people just believe they know better than everyone, including doctors.
I have legitimate fears of letting my fiance’s crazy conservative parents ever have our kids alone. To this day her dad will come out of nowhere with a 10 minute prepared speech about how covid isn’t real, which is always followed by the entire family being silent and wondering to ourselves, “who the fuck even asked you anything at all?”
Omg that is so sad
Sounds like that old woman never gave up on her dream of qualifying for a Darwin Award.
“Today you. Tomorrow me.”
I love this story, wish I still had the link.
This is the one I came to say.
Double dick dude, evnr though it was fake, I remember the initial post and it was awesome.
Two broken arms is a classic and was actually real
The swamps of dagobah is always good for some gagging
Then the jolly ranger story really gets me to vomit
For me it’d be Don’t Even Reply: E-Mails from an Asshole.
Bunch of funny ones. Like someone offered a ride in a Prius for a long car trip between cities, he said he’d have to stop at a river to pour out some motor oil because he doesn’t support the environment and had to make up for the environmental damage the Prius wasn’t doing.
I wonder, in a few years, what will Lemmy’s stories be.
The poop post and your advertisement campaign stopped by a strike have to be there
I hope some day, when people came back and read this story, they would be as proud of me as I am of them.
Does it have to be a true story? I love the story about the grandma who knitted a jumper or something for her grand son and accidentally summoned a demon. But she didn’t understand and thought it was her grandson and he -the demon- just hung around an ate sandwiches and kept her company.
The adventures of Todd and Granny it’s called.
I put on my robe and wizard hat
Sadly, this is not that well-known anymore. I think the whole concept of “cybering” is probably unknown, nowadays. There doesn’t seem to be a good website still online with the whole bloodninja saga anymore, so this is the closest I could find in readable text ;) https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/30157/I-put-on-my-Robe-and-Wizard-hat
Oh, how sad. Another part of internet history gone
It’s where I first learned that the computer will automatically block your password with ******

Edit: why does it not turn into asterisks for me?
The cumconut
The origin of the “banana for scale” story. Every time I see a meme or a plushy or whatever referencing it I’m amazed how engrained it is.
What was its origin?
The gynecologist who always cut her patient’s IUD strings super short because too many abusive partners were ripping them out.
Whoa, I had no idea that was a thing. Horrific!
Can we get a link on that?
Sadly no, it was from an old reddit thread I remember a couple years ago
WTF
This is the best one ever. I had forgotten about it and am literally laughing out loud
