So this is the hexbear/lemmygrad post on lemmygrad and the other one is the hexbear/ lemmygrad post on hexbear?
Weird, but almost nostalgic experience to be a Chapo head since The Poop Touchening episode or thereabouts, follow it from Reddit to Chapo.chat, then hexbear, then sort of fall out of touch with it for years, then see it pop back up here on the fediverse.
I think originally the phrase was popularised by r/shitRedditSays, which was a sort of feminist subreddit that took the piss out of reddit’s reactionary/chauvinistic culture. They would say “Don’t touch the poop”, meaning don’t comment on the linked thread that’s getting discussed.
What OP is reffering to re Chapo I don’t know.
Oh I was imagining it more literally haha. I wonder what kinda poop had to be touched for it to become a whole event
So the poop touching story was from I believe the 2018 midterms. Matt Christman had made a bet that the Dems would do poorly (I believe) with Virgil (Who’s Virgil?) and Virgil won because he generally speaking had a better grasp mathematically of the horse-race of electoral politics (which is why he was a wonk about them mattering). When Matt lost, he had to ‘touch the poop’, which was I believe Virgil’s cat’s poop.
Details may vary. It’s amazing to me that I remember that much.
Edit: it was also done live on-pod. I’d say it’s about the closest the pod ever got to ‘Adam shitting himself on air’.
Oh, I also remember that but I was actually referring to an episode that may have had another name. Basically, they were watching Amber’s cat, I believe, who proceeded to shit in the litter box.
They all tried to ignore it until someone was just like “ok holy shit that’s vile, I’m choking over here, what do we do?” And they proceeded to try to brainstorm how to do the very obvious task of scooping it and/ or removing it / the litter from the premises somehow.
Sorry to late response, lemmy.Sdf went down right after I posted the above (coincidence?) so I didn’t actually ever get notified of any replies
Hi comrade
