I can’t stop thinking about this reddit post on soapmaking dude
I cannot express what an insane recipe that is. No one else could grasp it either
Like beeswax doesn’t. It kinda just stays as beeswax in the soap. The lye has nowhere to go with it. That liquid seeping out of the soap? The brown and clear drops?? That’s lye. That’s straight up lye. This mf made the soap equivalent of the Chernobyl elephants foot.
sometimes reddit does good things
Managed to track down a high quality photo of r/place prior to the destruction for those who want it. May it rest in internet history.
Can someone explain what this is and why everyone was obsessed with it for a few days because I kept seeing it referenced with no context
r/place was an April fool’s event put on by Reddit (first in 2017, then again this year in 2022) where a blank canvas opened up on April 1 where users could place one single pixel, once every five minutes. Pixels would overwrite anything placed in that same spot previously, with the canvas constantly changing in flux. Hundreds of communities and hundreds of thousands of people came together to build incredible pixel art, defend their little swaths of territory on the canvas from griefing, form alliances with nearby territory to protect each other’s artwork, and hide lots and lots (and I mean lots) of amogus characters.
After 3 days of war, fighting bots, twitch streamers, and griefers, this was the final canvas. On April 4th the only pixel that could be placed was white, and the canvas quickly reverted back to a blank slate, with only screenshots like this to commemorate what hundreds of thousands of people came together to create.
My favorite part of r/place :)
“The rebel gains in Deraa were probably exaggerated in significance. Once the army takes over the last two districts in Homs they would free up a lot of soldiers to finally take Hama which would free up more soldiers. So we are going to see MAJOR offensives by the Syrian army in coming days in Damascus, Homs, Hama and Aleppo. Deraa will stay stagnat enough for the syrian soldiers to reinforces their comrades are push back the rebels to the jordanian border. The syrian army is not going to give the takfiri scums any space for them to transport weapons and foreign takfiris into the country. ”
