      TFW you'll never get the golden ass key in Dookie Dash because some billionaire bought all the Dookie Dash premium tokens and has already stockpiled shit points. all-my-apes-gone

        That was an actual thing, wasn't it. Like you're not just making that up, it was a 100% real flash game or whatever that one of the grifters had someone make and sold access to for thousands of dollars. Like I remember a video of it, and I think it was probably a video you linked here in fact.

    I think my favorite ape post was that r*dditor who gave his Black girlfriend an ape that "looked like her" according to him for christmas. She was, unfortunately, also a r*dditor and made an r/amitheasshole post about it.

    I miss people's confusion when they asked what NFTs actually were and you explained it to them and they looked at you like you must definitely be lying because it sounds stupid and what could possibly be the purpose of them.

    Digital snake oil.

      I remember the occasional cryptoclown that'd show up here and say how "revolutionary" it was to have a paid spot on a digital ledger that is associated with an ugly cartoon.

      Normal response, NFTs are horrible for the environment and a grift.

      I just miss how entertaining some of the stupidity was.

        Can totally see that. I get grumpy when they rear their ugly heads, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't giggle over the slurp juice joke

    Nah NFT weirdos were great. It was nice having someone in the mocking rotation who isn't genocidal.

    I will always laugh at the people who thought NFTs were anything other than a high tech way to launder money and plunder the gullible.

    Watch me use the snipping tool. Or the Analog Hole.

    If I wasn't so lazy, I'd give all of the most "valuable" NFTs the Richard Prince treatment in a big collage.

    They were so easy to dunk on I almost got a sort of diabetic shock from the easily-absorbed schadenfreude.

    They’re like Trump. Detrimental for society when they had influence. But after they become hallow shells of themselves, you feel bad and want to keep them chained and fed so they can keep providing entertainment and feel a sense of purpose
