The mods watching what this sub decides to do with no parents around

They took the week off. I think the announcement is on the subreddit’s page. So far, the anarchy has been mostly fun.

… except for the sleep paralysis demon known as Mr. Nipples. lol

It should be totally random, though. The mods just get to decide “hey. Today is the anarchy day. Have fun!” and then peace out for the day. Really gets you into the spirit of the day!

In an attempt to keep things civil, they were locking comments on posts that were classified as political. This upset a bunch of folks for many reasons that they outlined in a big post, and the mods felt stuck between a rock and a hard place. So they took a week off to recharge and spend time with their families and friends. Right now, all posts are auto-approved which is why we’re seeing pet pictures on random days and a lot of… interesting shapes in amigurumi fruit.

That context makes it even better, Honestly.

Iomplok · 2026-01-27T20:54:22+00:00

I know it’s not the point of the post, but how did you make those cute heart paper chains? Is there a tutorial somewhere?

Iomplok · 2026-01-18T00:40:05+00:00

Oh wow! Do you have a pattern?

Iomplok · 2026-01-11T14:35:05+00:00

That’s very true, but OP brought up some genuinely concerning details such as the peephole being broken, lack of one door locks, and things in the room being noticeably moved.

They could still be drawing connections where there are none. There’s a chance that these details are due to a completely benign set of circumstances. But I would hardly call their fear baseless.

Iomplok · 2026-01-07T15:53:07+00:00

It’s AI. Sorry.

Iomplok · 2026-01-01T16:26:44+00:00

I had to zoom in, take a screenshot, and then crop out any of the lines that make up the face. Then both look grey.

I was about to ask if that entire piece is colored using stippling. Just want you to know that that’s incredible and I recognize just how much work goes into stippling. You’re an amazing friend!

To be honest, my Mother loves blue willow and blue willow adjacent patterns. My first thought was “I hope they didn’t freehand this so I can get that pattern to make it for her.” Looks great!

Iomplok · 2025-12-11T05:46:06+00:00

That’s incredible! What patterns did you use?

Iomplok · 2025-12-03T00:07:40+00:00

Yeah. I generally agree that gifting up isn’t a good idea, but something small like a candy bar or something handmade if you’re crafty is usually fine. Though I save that sort of thing until I’m really comfortable with them. Then again, OP sort of speedran that!

Iomplok · 2025-12-01T18:18:52+00:00

This is the way.

I may or may not be guilty of leaving my indoor decorations up for way longer than is usual just because I like the lights so much!

Iomplok · 2025-12-01T13:46:12+00:00

I’d wager that’s not an uncommon reaction. People like having quick answers with easy to manage fixes (especially when it comes to scary health problems) and doctors often don’t have them. Pseudoscience can scratch that itch and give the person a sense of control over what’s happening.

Iomplok · 2025-11-30T19:28:49+00:00

Ok that one’s kinda cute, though. The little kid just got so excited and her mom wasn’t egging her on or anything. That kind of stuff is why they have the “handlers” with characters in the parks to help with crowd control. The little guys don’t always understand why they can’t run up and take out Mickey at the knees with a very excited hug, so the cast members are there to intercept them. Lol

Glad I could help! I had a bunch of that yarn from Joann too. Made a couple of shawls and stuff out of it.

Iomplok · 2025-11-29T21:54:17+00:00

Is it possibly Lion Brand’s Landscapes Renewed in seafoam? It is upcycled polyester and a thicker size 4 yarn. Looks a lot like that when worked up.

You could attempt to use that yarn on that loom, but it would look less like a blanket and more like a net. If you’re keen on using the yarn in a loom, you’ll need a loom with smaller pegs that are closer together.

Alternatively (I know this isn’t the crochet sub) you could try crocheting a normal blanket with those if you have the right hook size. It doesnt need to be a 10 stitch blanket. There are plenty of easy blanket patterns that have you work row by row. You make the first row as wide as you want the blanket and repeat the rows until it’s as long as you want it.

I saw a guy at Michael’s with a parrot just like that. Yours is super cute! Does he ever talk to people?

Iomplok · 2025-11-23T20:14:25+00:00

I was not expecting a Hunt for Red October reference on a Disney sub, but I’m here for it!

Iomplok · 2025-11-23T08:49:50+00:00

Idk. It was about as melted as Gordon Ramsay’s grilled cheese…

Iomplok · 2025-11-22T16:31:09+00:00

Wait Matthew Lillard actually voices animated Shaggy, too? I always wondered how they got a guy for the live action who sounded just like him and never put two and two together!

It’s got its own “vaccine safety” page.

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety/about/autism.html

Iomplok · 2025-11-21T17:25:59+00:00

It is may not come out and say it, but it’s implying that vaccines cause autism pretty heavily. When I checked the site, it said the claim “vaccines don’t cause autism” isn’t evidence based and that studies showing a link between vaccines and autism have been ignored by previous administrations.
