zzz, in I am leaving my wife tomorrow and I couldn’t be happier

Nice idea! I could live with sone reposts, will only get more people to switch platforms

doppelgangmember,

Yeah i hated the consensus that everyone on Lemmy wanted 15 year old memes but absolutely NO REDDIT REPOSTS!!! Even if they’re entertaining and keep me from going back to reddit…

Blocked the antiquememeshow community. So annoying.

nieceandtows, in OOP's dog ate her neighbour's drone. Neighbour takes her to small claims court which ironically is the best thing that happens to OOP.

This is a classic. Some people truly rely on people to just get scared and give in to their demands even if there’s no standing.

Pinto23, in My boyfriend doesn't want to marry me because I'm an immigrant + UPDATE

Wow your ex is a dumbass. Truly. I’d bend way over backwards to have a gf that earned considerably more. If my buds made fun of me over it and wouldn’t stop. They wouldn’t be buds anymore.

What complete fool.

Best of luck to you.

dexchemist, in I [22M] am in medical school and my fiancee [22F] freaked out after seeing a diagram of a vagina in my anatomy textbook. Together for 6 yrs. I don’t know what to do.
@dexchemist@lemmy.world avatar

God damn, OP has a psycho fiancee

SomeoneElse,

Well, not anymore thankfully!

lorez, in My boyfriend doesn't want to marry me because I'm an immigrant + UPDATE

He’s an insecure man with outdated values. You did well on leaving him and good luck with your new French adventure!

Thesongthatneverends, in I [22M] am in medical school and my fiancee [22F] freaked out after seeing a diagram of a vagina in my anatomy textbook. Together for 6 yrs. I don’t know what to do.

Man, thank goodness he didn’t drop out of school and let a relationship derail his life like that. It sounds like she wasn’t who he thought she was at all. Thank goodness they’re both young and she has time to grow up, and they both have time to find their true partners.

Default_Defect, in OP asks legaladvice for help on escaping her physically abusive husband. He is a cop.
@Default_Defect@midwest.social avatar

Jesus, thats frightening. Hope it all works out for the best in the end and the husband doesn’t just find a new victim.

Plibbert,

Sadly he’s a police officer in America. So best case he get fired and gets a new job at a department a stone toss away. Most likely nothing happens.

@Default_Defect@midwest.social avatar

Unfortunately true, probably comes with a raise too.

jesterraiin, in OOP's dog ate her neighbour's drone. Neighbour takes her to small claims court which ironically is the best thing that happens to OOP.

Why do you write OOP?

Original Original Poster sounds dumb.

slazer2au,

OP is the person posting the aggregation version here.

OOP is the actual person who created the series of posts.

It was likely seperated this way to identify which poster is being referred to.

jesterraiin,

I can tell who is who, it’s just that Original Original Poster sounds dumb.

WastingSpace,

I read it as Original OP, which does sound OK, but that’s just me

reflex,
@reflex@kbin.social avatar

Original Original Poster sounds dumb.

How about OP' (oh-pee prime), borrowing from math notation. 😏

jesterraiin,

Massive improvement. It sounds professional, serious and stuff…

TheOminousBulge,
@TheOminousBulge@kbin.social avatar

I humbly suggest Oop and Op. Pronounced as words. Like loop and top.

jesterraiin,

The problem is, that OOP is an acronym already widespread and used since long.

Therefore, this attempt at forcing new word into local dialect seems dumb.

TWeaK,

It’s the standard term in the BORU subreddit where these posts come from. It means Other Original Poster.

jesterraiin,

“Do not multiply entities beyond necessity”

There’s no such thing as “other original poster”.

There’s only original poster and people who repost it. That’s why there’s the “I’m not OP” disclaimer…

HidingCat,

Oh great, a pedant.

BORU used those terms, and people understood what they meant. Did you really have to display your pedantry like a badge of honour?

jesterraiin,

Oh great, a pedant.

I’m so sorry that you’re triggered by someone’s opinion. Can I suggest leaving the Internet immediately and for good, while at that?

Lmaydev,

From the person triggered by a well established acronym.

jesterraiin,

Correction: from the misuse of a well established acronym, one that belongs to programming.

Lmaydev,

OOP Out of Picture (greyhound racing, 30+ lengths behind the winning greyhound)

OOP Out of Place

OOP Out of Pouch (sugar gliders)

OOP Order of Play (sports)

OOP Out Of Play

OOP Object Oriented Programming

OOP Out of Protection (gaming)

You’re being pedantic.

TWeaK,

There’s the OP of this post, then there’s the OP of the Other post. So there’s the Other OP.

jesterraiin,

There can’t be “other” or “another” original poster.

There’s THE original poster and simply people who reposted his or her content.

OOP is an acronym for something entirely different.

TWeaK,

There’s an original poster for each post. When you’re talking in one post about another post, there is another original poster from the other post. What you call that other original poster is up to you, but OOP is what the BORU sub settled on.

The person who posts a repost is an OP for that specific post, to differentiate them from the other commenters in the post. It’s not like Original Content, which his the root source of all reposts, it’s just a term that (automatically, by the site’s own labels) refers to the person who made that specific post, regardless of its content.

jesterraiin,

There’s an original poster for each post.

There’s only one Original Poster. Everyone else is doing reposting.

OOP

It’s an acronym already in use. You’re multiplying entities beyond the necessity.

TWeaK,

In use for what?

Acronyms can be used for different things in different contexts.

jesterraiin,

In use for what?

It takes a lot less to Google it, than write this comment.

TWeaK,

Lmao now I’m definitely not going to bother. Not least because a Google search will come up with multiple answers, because acronyms have multiple uses, so I still won’t know what you’re talking about.

Seeing as you’re not really arguing in good faith in any way, shape or form, I’m out.

As this is not OP posting, it is in fact the O OP. I agree, sounds weird, but what it is.

jesterraiin,

As this is not OP posting,

It’s already explained with “I’m not OP” disclaimer.

it is in fact the O OP.

So you think that each repost warrants for the addition of another “O”?

If someone links to your repost, it should be O O OP, then?

Come on… Nobody does that.

MortyMcFry,
@MortyMcFry@aussie.zone avatar

I agree it sounds ridiculous and I’m sorry you’ve been downvoted so much. Though this is a reddit repost so the downvotes are expected.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

To be fair to Lemmy, this poster has been saying some pretty insane shit lately and possibly just attracting attention on themselves because of that.

jesterraiin,

It’s ok, I pay little attention to the voting system. 😁

passably9, in My gf was raped and became pregnant. I broke up with her because she wanted to keep the baby + Updates

Religion is the second villian here

coldv, in OOP's boyfriend won't stop telling her that she smells bad

t has honestly gotten to the point where I literally shove my arm pit in friends and families faces asking if I smell bad, they all say I don’t smell like b.o. at all, one friend even said I smelled too clean like a lush store.

Gaslight and trash boyfriend aside, this made me chuckle because of the imagery and I can imagine myself doing the same thing, quite aggressively even.

Vengefu1Tuna, in OOP is gifted laser tattoo removal by her mother-in-law
@Vengefu1Tuna@lemmy.world avatar

That’s a good one, thank you for sharing!

suckaduck, in My (29f) parents ghosted me 5 years ago after my wedding and now reached out. What do I do?
@suckaduck@lemmy.world avatar

Big yikes. They don’t agree and go no contact on their child, even going as far as to block her on most means to get in touch. “Aight immah throw away my child cause I don’t agree with a decision they made”. Insane.

AnonymousLlama, in My (29f) parents ghosted me 5 years ago after my wedding and now reached out. What do I do?
@AnonymousLlama@kbin.social avatar

A fascinating read. Nothing of value was lost in not taking to these people for the last half decade

Dick_Justice, in I got a fridge lockbox and it’s destroying my relationship

Oh my gosh, are straight people doing okay out there?

mayhaps, but i think that this is something that all sexualities have
i mean i ate the snacks of my partner and i am ace…
(that was super sweet stuff that someone gifted him and he does not like super sweet stuff)

Dick_Justice,

I was just joking… referencing the old Reddit sub /rAreTheStraightsOkay

Little8Lost,
@Little8Lost@lemmy.world avatar

I should have known (slap on my face)
i was on an meme ace subreddit where this was a running gag too

Black_Gulaman, in My Wife has scammed multiple people, and lied to me about it
@Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Why post another person’s story, our advice won’t help the original poster.

What’s the point?

PassingDuchy, (edited )
@PassingDuchy@lemmy.world avatar

Bestupdates is an archival community bringing together all the parts of a posted saga into one post. It’s not for giving advice to the original OP. To do that you should follow the info at the post start and link at the bottom to track down the original posts from the original OP.

tl;dr- this is a voyeur community, not an advice community

Black_Gulaman,
@Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Aw shit, I apologize, I didn’t read the community, I thought I was on relationship advise or something.
