there should be a thread for thread titles that aren't the WORST thread titles but that are perfectly designed to make you never ever click on them:

Trump, October 2017: Apologize for untruth, u bum [Started by Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown) in October 2017, last updated two minutes ago by global tetrahedron on I Love Everything] 262 new answers

I keep misreading that us "Apologize for unruh" and I get confused because Unruh was the sponsor of a major piece of civil rights legislation in California

A thread about once critically-lauded artists (based on their first album or two of releases, or however many), only to then release an album or two (again, whatever the amount) of mostly-shit output, thereby losing goodwill among critics and fans alike, only to then release, to you, a brilliant comeback album release (but at that point, no one longer gives a shit.

how has this not been posted here already

US Politics, June 2018: This is a total goat rodeo.

I don't know the origin of "goat rodeo" but it seems like one of those DOA phrases someone on twitter thought was funny and that a bunch of other tweeters memed

Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Monday, 4 June 2018 18:07 (five years ago) link

I'd never heard it before, but it seems to predate Twitter.

“Goat roper/rope” and “goat rodeo,” as well as several other variants (“goat dance,” “goat screw”), are apparently all euphemistic forms of the original slang phrase, which involves the venerable “f word” and is close to another variant, “goat raper.”

I have had it up to here waiting for the Beatles catalogue to be remastered

sarahell, Monday, 22 October 2018 14:27 (five years ago) link

especially since it's now been several years since the beatles catalogue was remastered, and now the thread will be devoted to nitpicking those remasters until the beatles catalogue is remastered once more

as someone that cares about threads and thread titles, i find that kinda cute tbh

Spike Lee: Dud or DUD?!?

This title just reminds me of that Simpsons episode where he was on the spaceship full of crap people heading for the sun, and much like that episode I do have to wonder whether a white director with as many brilliant films under his belt would get this kind of treatment.

QUICKLY what is your favorite album released in the year of your birth?

sorry but that QUICKLY is anxiety-inducing and pointless and grinds my gears

Ivan Scampo (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 18 June 2020 10:51 (three years ago) link

Yes, why must it be quick? I want slow discussions of things, just firing things out without context is pointless listcruft.

Probably, it's just dispiriting that particular thread has been the main nexus of debate.

What are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Flaws?

^ always bums me out because AOC is awesome and sometimes I just want nice things to be nice, and I know the title wasn't meant in a sexist way, but it kinda makes me feel icky because so often prominent women in American culture are criticized and attacked for way more petty bullshit than men are, and this thread title reminds me of that fact.

sarahell, Sunday, 8 November 2020 19:49 (three years ago) link

it was changed for precisely those reasons! then the pedants came out.
