If you just keep hitting “random definitions” you get such an insane spread of internet and non-internet culture. I didn’t realise UD was almost 20 years old.
One definition will be some scene kid trying to be random xD in 2007, another will be a weird sex act invented by someone trying to be funny in 2010.
There’s references to extremely online shit, extremely niche subculture shit, or just general things you’d hear in the wider discourse. There’s A LOT of people putting up extremely specific things about a person they’re into or the place they live as if they’re common parlance but they are clearly used exclusively by that one person.
I had no idea urban dictionary captured such a large time range and such a wide cross section of society. Truly fascinating. Although it is definitely mostly 12 year olds trying to be funny - but it’s interesting to compare 12 year old’s sense of humour over the last few decades I guess.
It still feels weird coming across posts with "posted 15 years ago" on them in general. When I first used the Internet in some elementary school computer class in the late 90s no site had been around for that long and it feels like it took a while for the big platforms that are still around to stabilise and consolidate
I have a lot of nostalgia for the old internet, of personal homepages and the like. Things felt more interconnected back then, like the world wide web was huge but people loved to link to one another, it felt like a community. Now the internet is consolidated into amorphous blobs like reddit, youtube, facebook, amazon, these corporate powerhouses and people are just left alienated in some right-wing new source comments section.
I have some ~15-20 year old entries on UD that I my friends and I made while in highschool, mostly garbage entries with our IRL names that make no sense to any more than ten people.
UD is genuinely full of like:
Paddington Bear
When a man cums on a woman's body and then smears it all over her before putting on a blue raincoat and red hat, and saying "yum yum, I love marmalade" and then licking it off.
Like, this has never happened ONCE in the history of ever and someone still felt the need to write it down. They're never funny either.
It's like everyone it trying to top real disgusting sex acts that actually do happen on occasion, and you can't replicate real life sexual deviancy.
Reminds me of the "List of sexual positions" on ED some 15 years ago, where 90% of the entries were a variation on "randomly punch her and yell a catchphrase." It's horrifying in retrospect how many adults have since grown up having their minds poisoned by 4chan, even before its culture crystalized into the overt fascism it is today.
The internet had a really rough edgy phase around like the mid aughts that like you said crystalized into the neo-fascism we have today. You can track it's growth from Urban Dictionary, to 4chan, to ED, to gamergate, to cringe reddit and public freakout, to neo-fascism.
An online space without moderation will become filled with fascists. That's why you got to salute your moderators and advocate for them to get living wages.
Portal of Evil and its sister site POE-News
Never heard of it, what's that?
Hexbear is honestly the first time I can think of there being a solid site like that for the left, and it's twenty or thirty years late
list of sex moves wasn't it? i remember because "sex position" is too normal of a thing to say.
Maybe? I saw it a very long time ago and I only remember it through the lens of what I thought about it (that it was lazy, repetitive, and dumb).
I'll always remember [CW:EVERYTHING] the Rootin' Tootin' Jamaican Chocolate Raspberry. I never thought it could be topped. Can't believe we would share this shit on the bus.
It’s like Wikipedia if all the contributors were stoned and/or 12 years old
dick quesadilla
placing a man's penis in a tortilla wrap, filled with desired vegetables or meat, then topped off with mild cheddar cheese. the quesadilla is then covered with a condom, to keep the ingredients together, and placed in a vagina (or anus) to melt the cheese. the male will then ejaculate in the quesadilla only to have the female ingest the end result.
Jeremiah: "My dick was so greasy after Elora ate her dick quesadilla."
Apollo: "You should try masturbating with sandpaper, it will adsorb the grease."

Maybe we should try to get a leftist moderator or two on that site, and if we can't do that, deplatform it.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Marxism
https://www.urbandictionary.com/author.php?author=DrCruel
A pyramid scheme masquerading as a quasi-sociopolitical economic theory, first developed from the various writings of Karl Marx and Friederich Engels, and later embellished upon by intellectual luminaries such as Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, Josef Stalin, Mao Tse Tung and Che Guevara. Often Marxists will attempt to misrepresent their system of ideas as something "progressive"; in truth the system in practice most resembles a form of secular feudalism.
Marxist societies, being in essence kleptocratic in form, invariably fail once the economy of the nation so ruled has been bled white. Thereafter such a failed nation is said by Marxists to have been instead an example of some form of proto-fascism; terms such as "Proletarian Bonapartism", "state capitalism", and other such equivalent nonsense. The equivalent is for Nazis to claim that a true fascist state has never existed, that detractors ought to read Mein Kampf to get the true story of what Nazism is truly about, etc (see David Irving).
A common misconception Marxists like to spread is that their system of economic and social management is codified in texts by Marx/Engels, such as Das Kapital. If one takes the time to read such texts, it becomes readily clear that not only are they woefully out of date (referring to issues that were important in the 19th century), but that for the most part the analyses the theory is based on is mostly utter nonsense (see "labour theory of value"). In actual practice both the analyses and theoretical applications of Marxism are meant for people at the bottom of the pyramid scheme to absorb; those at the top use the theory to justify mass thievery, mass murder and class genocide.
Marxism as a theory is a precursor to fascism and, later, Nazism. The key difference between these two systems is that early Marxists believed people should be robbed, enslaved and murdered based on their class and/or vocational identity; Nazism believes people should be robbed, enslaved and murdered based on their racial or ethnic identity. Otherwise there is virtually no difference, either in structural form or function. Russian Bolshevism, Chinese Maoism and German Nazism are all forms of secular feudalism. All have their roots in Marxism, and all are most properly classified as movements of the Left.
I want to milk this hog's brain of all its juice. It's nothing but juice.
It took several seconds before I found this person using slurs. They also have a definition of McDonald's as a triumph of capitalism. All of this was written in like 2005 too, I sometimes forget that hogs haven't changed at all.
So much juice that I want to duct tape them to a bird feeder and supply hummingbirds with all the nectar they could eat.
Somebody make an entry for "Hexbear"

I hate those ones so much
