That's it. Our instance requires us to stop responding if you explicitly ask us to. It's right here buried in our Code of Conduct
Any discussions may be opted out of by disengaging.
In the past, this rule has only applied to the specific user you say it to. I'd like to suggest going forward that if someone on another instance uses it, we treat it as applying to all of us.
Unfortunately this rule wasn't communicated clearly before, so I'm making this post for visibility.
Edit: As the comments clarify, this has to be done in good faith, typically just a one word "disengage" comment. If you add more stuff to the discussion and then say "disengage" at the end, you're not disengaging, it's a way to put a stop to a toxic argument not to get the last word in.

some of you really don't get it
you can use multiple slurp juices on a single ape
I’m confused. What a slurp juice.
So you see, ape holders can use multiple slurp juices on a single ape. So if you have 1 astro ape and 3 slurp juices you can create 3 new apes. Tonight's slurp juice mint event is essentially a minting event for both Lab Monkes and Special Forces.
Wut m8?
Honestly getting tired of explaining, but I'll give it another shot:
So, let's say that you have an ape, and would like to get some more apes. Maybe that astro ape is a Lab Monke, maybe it's special forces, but it's an ape, and who doesn't want more apes. Now, you'd probably say, "I'll just have to go mint more apes, or maybe buy one off the marketplace." Now, that might be true for some apes, but for astro apes you can use a slurp juice. It's a complementary collectible that you can use to mint an ape from an existing ape. Now, the key thing is that you can use multiple slurp juices on the same ape. A lot of people think that you use the slurp juice on an ape and then it's gone. Now, that would sound scary: "what if I liked my original astro ape? I don't want to slurp juice it away!" Fortunately, that's not the case. When you use slurp juice on an ape, it mints a brand new ape. Yes, the slurp juice gets used up, but the original ape will remain in your collection. So, let's say that for the event you have your astro ape, and then you have 3 slurp juices. That means, by the end of the event, if you use all 3 slurp juices on your ape, you would be have 4 apes at the end of the night, which is your 1 original ape plus the 3 new apes you just minted. Of course, the slurp juice is going to be consumed, but would you rather have slurp juice or an ape? The utility of the slurp juice is in minting new apes from your existing astro apes, so it's a good investment of your slurp juice to use it. However, if you're not confident in the outcome of the new apes, you may want to sell your slurp juice to someone (if they're buying) so that they can take advantage and that way they would have the 3 additional apes. Either way, someone's going to slurp that juice, so it just depends if you're willing to take that risk. Maybe the new ape you mint will be valuable, and maybe it won't. There's nothing wrong with taking a more conservative stake, but there's also a lot of opportunity so got to do what's right for you and what's right for your apes. It's also important to note that the slurp juice is only going to work on your astro apes. It's not going to work on your nvmbears, or your basedapes or onisociety or your foxsyndicate (etc...). It's definitely not going to work on apes outside of the rarecandy ecosystem, so don't even try it. You're not going to be able to get 4 bored apes, even if you already have a bored ape. If you want a bored ape, you're going to have to get them like anyone else: i.e. steal them from Seth Green. Now, you say, isn't it wrong to steal a bored ape. Actually, no. Because code is law, if you steal a bored ape you are the legal owner of it because the code says you own it (or rather, because it's assigned to your wallet which I guess would be the actual owner but I digress.) So, stealing a bored ape from Seth Green is not too hard. Seth Green loves to use slurp juice on his apes, so you just need to directly deposit a tampered slurp juice into Seth Green's wallet. No, you might say "but why would Seth Green use the tampered slurp juice on his bored ape? Doesn't Seth Green know that slurp juices don't work on bored apes?" Yes, you really would think that by now he'd have caught on, but it works for me every time so obviously he hasn't asked me or anyone else in the community about how slurp juices work. This is why it's important that we talk to each other and share tips on slurp juice. Now if someone sent you a tampered slurp juice, you know not to use it on a bored ape or any other ape for that matter. Of course, it may not be easy to differentiate between a tampered slurp juice and a normal slurp. If you have a slurp juice in your wallet, you got to ask yourself: did I mint this slurp juice? have I already used this slurp juice on my apes? Did I get this slurp juice from a trusted community member? Now, if a tampered slurp juice is used on a ape, I'm sorry to say, it's not going to mint a new ape. It's tampered, it's fake to be honest. It's slurp juice, it'll look just like any other slurp juice in your wallet, but it's not. Instead of allowing you to consume the slurp juice to mint a new ape, so you'd have two apes instead of one ape (or rather n+1 apes where n is the current number of apes that you have), the tampered slurp juice is going to enact a transaction to reassign the ape from your wallet to some one elses'. "You might say, isn't that stealing?" In the court of law, no, because code is law and the code that the micro-contract (i.e., the tampered slurp juice) executes is also law and this law states that you transferred the ape to another persons' wallet. Now, that may make you feel sad if you get your apes hit with a fake slurp, but if you use a tampered slurp juice to steal Seth Green's bored apes (or another ape he owns, you may have to hit him with the fake slurp a couple times before you snag a bored ape) you'll feel pretty good so it all evens out I think. So, once you steal Seth Green's bored ape, you can always sell it back to him, or you can display it in a public collection. So, a public collection is kinda like a wallet. Just like with a wallet you can look up and see how many apes someone has, you can do the same with a public collection. A public collection is a great place to display your apes, either the 3 apes you got by slurp juicing your original astro ape (maybe also plus the original ape you slurp juiced which would bring it up to 4 apes), or you could also display the ape you stole from Seth Green (and maybe the other 2-4 apes that you also stole from Seth Green in the processing of phishing for his bored ape.) Now, some may say it's gauche to display stolen apes in your public collection. They say: "that's a bit gauche to display stolen apes in a public collection, you should keep them in your wallet instead!" Now, I disagree with those people (code=law), but if you feel that way about it it's not a big deal since other people will be able to see your 4-9 cool apes in the wallet as well (unless you keep your 1+3 astro apes in the public collection since you minted those, and then keep the 3-5 stolen apes in your wallet.)

That was the actual grift and it led to a ton of people losing their overpriced ape jpgs because their slurp juice had been tampered with.
I see y'all aren't getting it, so I went back and clarified a couple of things:
(Part 1): Let’s start with the ape. An ape is a simian, and a close cousin to humans. Thus, it’s only natural that we see ourselves in the ape. Obviously, we aren’t apes, and you shouldn’t call anyone an ape, but when we see apes dress up in clothes and wear hats and smoke cigars, we all say “he just like me, fr fr fr.” Because of this congruency, there is a natural human desire to acquire apes and dress them in the most fantastic of costumes. Now, it you took an ape from the wild or a zoo or a LA mansion and kidnapped it and dressed in a t-shirt and jean shorts, well that would be wrong. That’s because apes are living things and should be treated with respect. After they’re just like you and me (fr fr fr). So, the question is how should make satiate its natural but immoral lust for apes in silly clothing? In the recent past, we’ve seen attempts at simulations of dressing up apes like Spore and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, but these have been limited in scope and insufficient in fulfilling man’s need for ape in hat. Fortunately, the development of non-fungible tokens has finally enabled the collection of clothed apes in a way that both brings a smile to the face of both young and old while respect the dignity of our noble simian siblings and their right to be free to live and frolic in either the highlands of east Africa or the backyard of an influencer’s house free from the restriction of wearing pants. Now, there are many types of ape (and other dressed creatures that have also been immortalized in non-fungible tokens). One key type of ape is an Astro ape (which themselves may be subdivided into lab monkes and special forces (Astro apes)). No, we all like apes, and we all want more apes, but sometimes it can be difficult or expensive or inconvenient to mint a new ape. That’s where slurp juice comes in. Now, slurp juices aren’t apes. It’s juice. Now, it’s not a juice that you drink. Just like your apes (where they be bored or based or of the kind Astro variety) Rather, it’s a non-fungible token just like your ape (assuming that you have ape, and to be clear slurp juice !=ape (also to be clear when we use the “!=” that means that the thing on one side of the equation is not equal to the other side. This is a programmer thing, so if your new to the community and you haven’t learned a lot about programming you may not have seen before. It basically means the inverse of the two quantities or qualities being equal to each other (i.e., they are not equal) in part, this is because the normal “not equal sign” (you know, the equals sign with the line through it) is not really available on keyboards. That way, this version of the not equal sign is very easy to type and is often used in Boolean logic by programmers. Boolean logic is logic where things equal each other (“=”) or do not equal each other (“!=”). Boolean logic also includes less than (“<”) and greater than (“>”), and these “operations” are resolved to give a result of TRUE or FALSE. Depending on if things are TRUE or FALSE you would perform different tasks based on the Boolean logic (but I digress.)) Back to ape and slurp. So, let's say that you have an ape, and would like to get some more apes. Maybe that astro ape is a Lab Monke, maybe it's special forces, but it's an ape, and who doesn't want more apes. If you didn’t care for apes, I don’t think you would be asking these questions now would you. Now, if you’re in this situation you'd probably say, "I'll just have to go mint more apes, or maybe buy one off the marketplace." Now, that might be true for some apes, but for astro apes you can use a slurp juice. Not with every ape of course, but slurp juices were made for Astro apes. It's a complementary collectible that you can use to mint an ape from an existing ape. Now, the key thing is that you can use multiple slurp juices on the same ape. A lot of people think that you use the slurp juice on an ape and then it's gone. Now, that would sound scary: "what if I liked my original astro ape? I don't want to slurp juice it away!" Fortunately, that's not the case. When you use slurp juice on an ape, it mints a brand new ape. Yes, the slurp juice gets used up, but the original ape will remain in your collection. (To clarify, a mint is like making a new coin. Now, you’re not making any new coins actually, you’re making a new ape. But the process, the act creating something new that is, is much like would if you made a new coin so that’s why call it minting in the community.) So, let's say that for the event you have your astro ape, and then you have 3 slurp juices. That means, by the end of the event, if you use all 3 slurp juices on your ape, you would be have 4 apes at the end of the night, which is your 1 original ape plus the 3 new apes you just minted. Of course, the slurp juice is going to be consumed, but would you rather have slurp juice or an ape? On one hand you could have 1 ape + 3 apes, or you could have 1 ape + 3 slurp juices. Now, either way you’d have 4 things, but like we established earlier, ape != slurp juice (again, “!=” = “not equal”), so you’d have 4 of one and 4 of the other and those 4 things aren’t the same so you are making a real choice. The utility of the slurp juice is in minting new apes from your existing astro apes, so it's a good investment of your slurp juice to use it.
(Part 2): However, if you're not confident in the outcome of the new apes, you may want to sell your slurp juice to someone (if they're buying) so that they can take advantage and that way they would have the 3 additional apes. Either way, someone's going to slurp that juice, so it just depends if you're willing to take that risk. Maybe the new ape you mint will be valuable, and maybe it won't. There's nothing wrong with taking a more conservative stake, but there's also a lot of opportunity so got to do what's right for you and what's right for your apes. It's also important to note that the slurp juice is only going to work on your astro apes. It's not going to work on your nvmbears, or your basedapes or onisociety or your foxsyndicate (etc...). It's definitely not going to work on apes outside of the rarecandy ecosystem, so don't even try it. (Don’t worry about the rarecandy ecosystem and what that means, you’re not here for candy, you’re the apes in hat.) You're not going to be able to get 4 bored apes, even if you already have a bored ape. If you want a bored ape, you're going to have to get them like anyone else: i.e. steal them from Seth Green. Now, you say, isn't it wrong to steal a bored ape. Actually, no. Because code is law, if you steal a bored ape you are the legal owner of it because the code says you own it (or rather, because it's assigned to your wallet which I guess would be the actual owner but I digress.) So, stealing a bored ape from Seth Green is not too hard. Seth Green loves to use slurp juice on his apes, so you just need to directly deposit a tampered slurp juice into Seth Green's wallet. No, you might say "but why would Seth Green use the tampered slurp juice on his bored ape? Doesn't Seth Green know that slurp juices don't work on bored apes?" Yes, you really would think that by now he'd have caught on, but it works for me every time so obviously he hasn't asked me or anyone else in the community about how slurp juices work. This is why it's important that we talk to each other and share tips on slurp juice. Now if someone sent you a tampered slurp juice, you know not to use it on a bored ape or any other ape for that matter. Of course, it may not be easy to differentiate between a tampered slurp juice and a normal slurp. If you have a slurp juice in your wallet, you got to ask yourself: did I mint this slurp juice? have I already used this slurp juice on my apes? Did I get this slurp juice from a trusted community member? Now, if a tampered slurp juice is used on a ape, I'm sorry to say, it's not going to mint a new ape. It's tampered, it's fake to be honest.

So instead of having 1 ape (or n apes if you’re lucky enough to already have more than one ape) you would then have zero apes which would be a bummer (or again, you would have n-1 apes, which is less good than having n apes or n+1 apes but not as bad as having 0 apes which would be the worst since 0 is the smallest number.) You might say, “isn't that stealing?" In the court of law, no, because code is law and the code that the micro-contract (i.e., the tampered slurp juice) executes is also law and this law states that you transferred the ape to another persons' wallet.(Just to be clear on the micro-contract, a contract is an agreement between two people, generally one that is notarized by a third party that can attest to the terms of the agreement. So, in a normal contract, you might go up to someone and say “please sir, could I sample your ape?” Now, if they say no well then you’re out of luck, but if they say yes and you all shake on it then you have self an ape. Now, a micro-contract is kind of like that but instead of asking someone for their ape it would be like you put a sticky on the ape that said it was yours and then you took it but it’s the same as the first thing actually because code=law (again, we programmers use the “=” sign when two things are the same, and the “!=” when two things are not the same. Since we used the “=” sign you can be confident in this conclusion.)) Now, that may make you feel sad if you get your apes hit with a fake slurp, but if you use a tampered slurp juice to steal Seth Green's bored apes (or another ape he owns, you may have to hit him with the fake slurp a couple times before you snag a bored ape) you'll feel pretty good so it all evens out I think. So, once you steal Seth Green's bored ape, you can always sell it back to him, or you can display it in a public collection. So, a public collection is kinda like a wallet.

Now, I disagree with those people (code=law), but if you feel that way about it it's not a big deal since other people will be able to see your 4-9 cool apes in the wallet as well (unless you keep your 1+3 astro apes in the public collection since you minted those, and then keep the 3-5 stolen apes in your wallet.) If you don’t feel great about it that’s okay you can use a blender. Now, you can’t use a blender to make slurp juice, it’s not that type of juice and its not that type of blender. Rather, a blender is when you give an ape to someone, and then they give you the ape back. Now, that may seem silly, but if you stole the ape, well now you didn’t. In the past, that ape would have been stolen, but you got this ape from your friend in the blender so you couldn’t be responsible for any theft (which is probably legal because code=law.) That way, you could feel free to display all the apes, both of minted and the blended type, together in a public collection as opposed to having some in your public collection and some in your wallet.

If you remember back when NFTs were a thing there was an NFT grift called "Board Ape Yacht Club" where people bought jpgs of monkeys for absurd amounts of money. Slurp juices were some token or power up or something that the ape jpeg people could get somehow, and then during an event they could use the slurp juice tokens to turn their ape jpeg in to another ape jpeg.
And if that doesn't make any sense I assure you; You're understanding it correctly. The whole nft thing was extremely silly.
Also, not directly relevant, but the bored ape creators were cryptofash, because of course they were.

Sorry, but the first couple times you actually have to send a copy of your posts to the appropriate embassy, through fax.
In triplicate!!! My paperwork was so screwed up because I didn't send in triplicate.
Personally I prefer to get paid in tankie tokens or mao money
