Other It is with great regret I inform you that I have had to turn on reputation filtering.

1.1k Upvotes

Hi Folks,

There has been an influx of repost bots on the sub recently. While I would normally object to any form of post filtering, it has become necessary.

I will be tweaking it to requirements so if your post gets slapped down by it, send us a message and we can look into it for you.

A big thank you to the people who report these bots every day. Rest assured, they are being banned on sight but I am a mere mortal and they seem to be the proverbial Hydra - no matter how many heads I chop, more doth rise.

Thanks for listenin'

Mod

These are floating around my college campus

"The Bible is very clear! Any sensual or sexual contact with the opposite sex outside of marriage... blah blah blah... falls into the category of fornication."

(Does anyone else see a bit of a loophole there)

Weird/Random Friend found this in her locker a few weeks ago, we both laughed, she decided to keep it. They must have slipped it through the tiny gap in the top and made it to the top shelf of her locker.

Found a notebook that had obviously been lost out a car window. Some pages with scraps of English, but this one seems to be some kind of Arabic script? If anyone knows what it says, I'd be very interested

A somewhat 1960s-looking flower rendered with grease pencils. On the back are very faint pencil notations, barely legible but referring to an "art museum flea market", and with a shopping list for "red wine / white champagne / blue tequila".

Appears to be an inscription of an inscription they found in a different book:

“Inscribed in a copy of Food (Waverly Root) -

For Irene,
Who knows that food for the body often, and wonderfully, becomes food for the soul, and that being as it were, twice fed, one is thereby twice blessed -
(Illegible name)”

I know schizophrenic screeds and manifestos are pretty common here, but I was kinda excited to find some ramblings in the wild, right there in the top of the trash can for anybody to take. Might be more accurate than some other conspiracy stuff.

Thought I took a pic of it up closer on the trail as well but I guess not. Page 179/180 from The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty. No other pages around. Found as in the image. Has been there a while without being moved as part is fully detached but was still right there. Bonus pic of creek.
