# Fun

*See also lmao.*

Fun is a rewarding lighthearted satisfying feeling coming from doing or witnessing something playful and/or comical. **We should make fun of everything** -- whenever it's forbidden to make fun of whatever, something is very wrong; in such case make fun of it even more.

## Things That Are Fun

This is subjective AF, even for a single man this depends on day, hour and mood. Anyway some fun stuff may include:

- the `#capitalistchallenge`: Try to win this game, you have as many shots as you want. Go to some tech store, seek the shop assistant and tell him you are deciding to buy one of two products, ask which one he would recommend. If he recommends the cheaper one you win.
- the *filters* package you will likely find in you distro's repos: You can apply funny filters to text, like for example `links -dump ~/git/less_retarded_wiki/html/algorithm.html | tail -n +10 | head -n 10 | pirate`. You may turn Wikipedia articles to Brooklyn English or haxor 1337 speech.
- autocomplete fun: check out how various search engines complete phrases, suggesting what people usually search for. Here are some actual examples from time of writing this (Google if not specified otherwise):
  - *my poop is*
    - *blue*
    - *hard and round*
    - *bloody*
    - *gray*
    - *light brown*
    - *sharp*
    - *very thin*
    - *coming*
    - *too big to come out and hurts*
    - *black*
    - *two feet long* (Brave)
    - *stuck halfway out* (Brave)
    - *green* (Brave)
    - *never solid anymore nhs* (Brave)
    - *like sludge* (Brave)
    - *stuck* (Brave)
    - *coming vine* (Brave)
  - *my dog*
    - *has diarrhea but is acting fine* (Brave)
    - *barks at everything that passes by* (Brave)
    - *ate chocolate but is acting fine* (Brave)
    - *is constantly scratching and biting himself* (Brave)
    - *ate grapes but seems fine* (Brave)
    - *ate grapes and died* (Brave)
    - *keeps biting me aggressively* (Brave)
    - *eats grapes all the time* (Brave)
  - *why does my uncle*
    - *touch me* (Bing)
    - *turn me on* (Bing)
    - *hate me* (Bing)
    - *shower with me* (Bing)
    - *keep touching me* (Bing)
  - more gems: "how come fish don't implode", "how come fish are still fish and we became human", "is it worse to drown in salt water or fresh water", "is it weird to have yourself as your wallpaper", "why do spammers spam", "do astronauts have periods in space", "why can ants fall and not get hurt", "my password is the last 8 digits of pi", ...
- the fight culture drinking game: Watch some modern documentary, take a drink every time someone says the word *fight*. Harder mode: also drink when they say the word *right*. If you hear "fight for the right to ..." you have to drink the whole bottle immediately. WARNING: this game is very likely to end by death from alcohol poisoning.
- programming
- Comparing. For example look up the same article in different encyclopedias and see how they differ, see which one you rate better, see what they have in common. Other things to compare: translations (very entertaining to compare e.g. Harry Potter or LotR translations of the invented fantasy terms, or comparing famous lines from moving such as the fictional Bible quote in Pulp Fiction, ...), man pages for standard Unix utilities (GNU grep vs BSD grep vs suckless grep vs plan9 grep vs POSIX grep, ...), implementations (of Unix utilities, programming languages such as C and Python, standard libraries, APIs such as OpenGL, ...), efficiency of programming language and API implementations (lines of code, portability, speed, ...), visual quality of 3D renderers and rendering techniques (environment mapping vs screen space reflections vs raytraced reflections, various methods of drawing shadows, ...), compression (jpeg vs webm, gzip vs 7zip vs rar, ...), fonts, GUI icons, answers to the same questions by different LLMs, chess engines, animals (their maximum recorded age, maximum speed, largest multiple birth, brain neuron count, ...), sportsmen and so on.
- games such as chess, go and shogi, racetrack, even vidya gaymes (programming them and/or playing them), but only old+libre ones
- jokes
- open consoles, programmable calculators and fantasy consoles, cool embedded programming without bullshit (see also SAF)
- obfuscating C, steganography
- marble racing
- Netstalking
- Checking out offensive domains like nigger.com, retard.edu etc. See also netstalking.
- trolling
- funny programming languages
- vandalizing Wikipedia, LMAO take a look at this https://encyclopediadramatica.online/Vandal/How-to; it is fun also to read through vandalism edits, they can easily be spotted in the article's history (comment is usually just "Reverted"), and especially juicy are articles of controversial topic or people recently involved in controversies
- hanging around with friends on the Island
- laughing at normies dealing with bloat
- randomly stumbling upon sites on [wiby](https://www.wiby.me/), wikiindex, finding politically incorrect stuff in old encyclopedias and generally just digging out obscure data
- old Nokia phones were fun
- looking up funny/interesting shapes in maps
- Challenges testing your knowledge, for example go and try to draw the map of the world only from memory, but do NOT prepare for this beforehand. Then see how accurate you were. Maybe you'll surprise yourself, maybe you'll discover parts of the world you unknowingly ignored, who knows. Similarly you can try to draw your favorite cartoon characters (such as Pokemon) from memory or write down the history timeline with exact dates of events, try to list as many countries and their capitals and so on. Perhaps this could be extended to testing your perception skills too, for example try to estimate how much something weights or measures, try to measure exactly five minutes only with your brain, try to draw a perfect circle and so on.

- autostereograms
- math and data visualizations, e.g. fractals, phase diagrams (https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=b-pLRX3L-fg), strange attractors, procgen, cellular automata, plotting wild 2D functions, ...
- **pedofishing**: A fun activity invented by drummyfish. The basis of the game is to start supporting pedophilia on the Internet upon which you start to attract retards, the goal of course is to catch the biggest fish and milk it to the max. Drummyfish achieved to catch a huge Korean lolcow that shook opengameart and libregamewiki to their foundations :D
- `#21stcenturychallenge`: If someone on YouTube tries to trick you into audience interaction by saying something like "tell me down in the comments...", you have to stop watching YouTube for 14 days. You can cancel this curse by finding a transsexual who has no tattoos, but you can use any tattooless transsexual only once (not that you will find any though).
