Pet peeve: on my work computer, 80% of my lobste.rs comments double-post because of some kind of missing deduplication logic. Then, I have to periodically go through all my threads to delete the duplicates. Sometimes one copy of the post will have 2 upvotes & the other 3.

Young women on tumblr tagging their selfies ‘cursed image’ is probably a thread with some deep & interesting sociological research on the end if somebody with a PhD tugs on it.

Bad idea of the day: As soon as a topic is identified to be trending, hide all conversation about it from anyone not already in the thread. Keep it hidden for 24 hours.

[scenario - thread]↵immortality was discovered but civilization fell shortly afterwards, now some immortals are still around

Having escaped their pages, many wild books roam history now. Venomous plot threads ensnare the unlucky, turn their lives into narratives.

Disembodied hands scuttle through the attic, building their webs with needle and thread↵One even carries a clutch of baby hands on its back

There is one point where the Web’s threads run dense and form a cocoon. It was no spider that wove this, but Psyche, goddess of butterflies.

I stumbled upon darebee.com in an unrelated hn thread and i’m really impressed, it’s a really easy follow regimen. Try the Totals program.

Woah, three new users in one day? How did you disover twtxt? From the hackersnews thread?

Infected fire is pale, tame, textured with dark threads of parafire, shows intelligence never seen in its feral cousin - we keep it as pet

[pursues a thread hinted at in @MoralOfStory’s latest weird.solar piece: https://weird.solar/spoffed-38ad5250a139 - humans as will organelles]

Be careful with those plot threads. Lose enough and resourceful characters will weave them into plot armor to protect against your writing.

Now that would be an exquisite cloth, woven from those threads, barely withstanding even the minuscule force of a furtive glance.

Those threads dust likes to form? I just pulled on one and it disintegrated into a cloud along its whole length, floating down slowly.
