    BMF was @black_mold_futures. They are well known for their :jesse-wtf: posts, you should take a look at them they're great

    BMF is one of their usernames but they've had a bunch, most of them get banned because they can't stop themselves from being sectarian

          I'm convinced that they were @FUCKTHEPAINTUP first

          Responsible for the greatest post on this site:

          I do self-criticism constantly because I’m trapped in a Maoist cult where comrades (white terrorists) criticize me mercilessly for having a fascist credit card (VISA Silver Signature Rewards)

          They won’t let me order vegan pizza anymore because the phone is fascist and “summoning my pizza slaves with a bourgeois app" is “bad vibes”

    The single most :jesse-wtf: poster in the history of hexbear. They're either hyperdevoted to an extremely odd bit or have a highly unique type of :brainworms: . Maybe both.

    somebody trained GPT-3 with the entire archive of old r/chapotraphouse and hexbear (and maybe some random theory ebooks and lefty media) and just let it loose in here.

    also what is the lathe people keep mentioning. I know what the actual tool is but is this a podcast reference or something?

      It's a reference to the book The Lathe of Heaven, by Ursula le Guin, in which the main character has a dream about a fictional event that happened in the past, then woke up and finds out that history has changed and that event actually happened.

    Truly one of the most powerful posters to have graced this coterie of libs. The kind of posts that make you stop and say “what am I even reading? and why do I feel simultaneously vindicated and called out?”
