Yeah, if you're ever curious how many seconds have passed since midnight Jan. 1st 1970, that's the number in the quote tag. God only knows how people could tell what time or day it was before Unix, but it probably involved going outside.

Stopping Bay12 from derailing threads is like trying to make a snowstorm feel ashamed about leaving white muck everywhere.

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Wait, when did this happen. I always curse the clouds from dumping it's white shit all over everything and never made it ashamed.

That's technically an action, not a speech... Well it was only a matter of time before I had to write another scene of utter and horrifying perversion.

Thus, the derails are never stopped.

As seen by this potential snowstorm derail.

I'm pretty sure most derails on Bay12 end up being about the derails in Bay12.

Holy crap you're trying a bit hard on the Inceptioning there...

Wait... I think there's an actual word for Inceptioning. What was it?
Recursioning?

Yeah, it's called recursion. When you go meta.

Hofstadter made it cool before Inception did.

To "Go Meta" sounds awesome enough.
Or was it?

There's a difference between recursion and repetition though, which the meme usually fails to capture.

*not a fan of the meme.

"Going Meta" is partially related, in that you are discussing the discussion (which can become recursive, with discussing the discussion of the discussion) of some thing that exists or happened-- but in this case "Meta" just means "About something".  Such as say, "Meta data"-- data about data. (Song title, clip length, codec type, whatever in the case of sound files. Other kinds of data for other kinds of files. etc.)

Simply repeating something over and over is not recursion.
