The only thing I actually miss about reddit is the neverbrokeabone subreddit. A whole community dedicated to trash talking weak-boned bitches was just hilarious to me.
Exactly, that’s what made the community so funny. You might have a few hundred thousand members who had never broken a bone, but then just due to statistics, every day you’d have a couple people break a bone. So it was a perfect opportunity to flame them for having brittle baby bird bones.
funny enough learning the Ian knot is the only way I’m able to reliably tie my shoes. bunny ear method works half the time, the standard knot just doesn’t translate between my brain and fingers
Oh wow, that’s the website where I learned to tie my shoelaces about 20 years ago. My shoelaces kept coming undone and I finally went to look for a solution online. Turns out I’ve been using a granny knot all my life until then.
Anybody else remember bad-candy.com? It was just one guy reviewing terrible candies, like Swedish salty licorice and circus peanuts. I miss the old internet.
There was this fantastic list on chocolate bars and taste per dollar for each. Sadly it’s buried by SEO listicles and I’ve never been able to find it again
Extremely passionate niche communities about seemingly mundane things are my absolute favorite thing about the internet.

I’ve never broken a bone. When I remember that I become acutely aware of how fragile my bones and everything else about my body is for a while.
Isn’t breaking bones a rare thing? Wouldn’t much more people fall into the never broke a bone category than those who did?
40-50% of people fracture a bone in childhood. It’s less common for adults.

Have you seen Ian’s Shoelace Site? It’s serious business. And actually useful.
That’s so weird I taught myself how to tie my shoes in the “Ian knot” when I was like 12 to seem special and I had no idea it was a whole site.
For anyone out there who doesn’t know it already, learn the Ian knot. Life saver

I saw that on somethingawful ages ago!
This was the internet before Facebook.

Circus peanuts are great, you just have to like the artificial banana flavor (which is what they are, and that’s one of my fave candy flavors so).
But if you miss the old internet, you’ll like this :) it’s a search that brings up very old pages. Nostalgia trip fr.
