@killdeercat If this is about 'bad language in front of kids,' we found a solution: Our's are youngsters and we heard the neighbor kid chant: "Eat Chips, grizzlies..." We've adopted it and it's saved our cherished tradition of letting the griz know they can eat shit, no matter when or where.

This just gets crazier by the second. @Meta and @finkd need to address this ASAP. This is the flock-fueled future everyone is afraid of and corporations keep telling everyone it's fine. Prove it.

@Codie_Sanchez 💯. It's not our choice to make for them. It's a forever decision they can make when they're old and wise enough. The early AIM and FB days, we had no idea what the Internet would become. We can protect our children better now. Perhaps it's more important with celebrity figures.

Nobody: it's been pretty quiet lately, someone should restart a race controversy.

Derek Chauvin was unjustly convicted of murder, therefore he should be freed.

The facts show that he was not the cause of death, nor did he at any time intend for a death to occur. Whatever else he may be, he is not a murderer.

That is the truth.

@MrJerryOC Two corrections:
1. Per the comment section, @MrJerryOC was joking and it went over my head. Touché Jerry.

@MrJerryOC Wow, how brave of you.
Next time you scroll past a factual historical event post that isn't opinionated in the slightest, just keep scrolling without your asshole puckering up and resist announcing your pussitous to the world. Thanks. cuck.

🎬 Backrooms (2026)

One of the internet's greatest success stories.

In May 2019, an anonymous user on 4chan posted a grainy photo of an empty room. Sickly yellow walls, harsh fluorescent lighting, damp carpet, and an overwhelming sense that something was deeply wrong. Someone added a caption claiming that if you're not careful, you can "noclip out of reality" and end up trapped in an endless maze of identical rooms known as the Backrooms.

Nobody knew where the photo was taken. For five years, the image spread across forums, Reddit, YouTube, and social media, evolving from a creepy image into one of the internet's most fascinating pieces of modern folklore.

Then, in May 2024, four users on Discord finally traced the image using the Wayback Machine. The photograph originated from a 2002 renovation photo taken inside a former furniture store at 807 Oregon Street in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. But by then, the truth hardly mattered. The myth had already become bigger than its origin.

The Backrooms entered a completely new phase in January 2022 when a 16-year-old filmmaker named Kane Parsons uploaded a nine-minute short film called The Backrooms (Found Footage). Having taught himself Blender and VFX techniques, Parsons transformed a niche internet creepypasta into something cinematic and terrifyingly believable. The video exploded in popularity and quickly became one of the defining horror projects of YouTube's generation.

Hollywood took notice.

Just a few years later, A24 greenlit a feature film adaptation and handed the project to Parsons himself. Operating under the codename Effigy, the production built a massive 30,000-square-foot Backrooms maze in Vancouver. The crew reportedly tested dozens of shades of yellow to recreate the unsettling atmosphere that made the original image so iconic, while the scale of the set became a story in itself.

Born in 2005, the same year YouTube launched Kane Parsons became A24's youngest director ever. At only 20 years old, he achieved something almost unimaginable: turning an internet urban legend into a major theatrical event.

The story of Backrooms is remarkable not because of where it started, but because of what it became. An anonymous image posted on a forum evolved into a collaborative online myth, inspired millions of viewers, launched the career of a young filmmaker, and eventually became a global horror phenomenon.

Few pieces of internet culture have made the journey from obscure message board post to mainstream cinema. The Backrooms did.

All because of a single photograph and a simple idea that tapped into a universal fear, the feeling of being lost in a place that looks familiar, yet somehow feels completely wrong.

@elonmusk Dude - how are you so quiet about the UAP stuff?! "If they're here, they're awfully subtle..." With these DOW drops, 'suppressed' is the better word. Engage brother!
