I have a bunch of great jellies I couldn’t keep in touch with without fluther. The assholes I ignore. They can’t bother me unless I let them bother me. That’s why I come back.

erichw1504's avatar

I come to Fluther because of the community and all the fun I have responding to answers and chatting with people.

About a year ago I had hit a lull. I didn’t think I liked Fluther anymore or was just bored with it. But after a month I got back into and haven’t stopped since. I guess it was sort of like when you eat a lot of something in a short period of time and get sick of it, but then after a while it wears off and you can eat it again.

What @Adirondackwannabe said. And I learn stuff. And I laugh. And a Jelly cured my hiccups.

ucme's avatar

Where else can I have a laugh & giggle with a select few Yanks? Nowhere that’s where!!
I’ve never considered leaving because if any moron ever got on my case i’d consider that beneath me, well & truly.

JilltheTooth's avatar

Ooh, @ucme , you just want to have a few select Jellies beneath you, so to speak, you randy bastard, you!

ucme's avatar

@JilltheTooth That sounds like fun, why on earth did I not think of that? Hmm…..

jonsblond's avatar

I come here for help and to help. I come back to visit friends I have made here. I come for virtual hugs and support when I need it. and give a virtual finger to those who need it :P

yankeetooter's avatar

How does the virtual finger work, @jonsblond? I could really use this…

jonsblond's avatar

@yankeetooter I guess I should say invisible finger. =)

yankeetooter's avatar

Oh…I think I already used this one a couple of times…:)

bob_'s avatar

@Vunessuh ain’t going to stalk herself, is she?

I like the people here.

erichw1504's avatar

I give virtual fists when needed… to the face!

yankeetooter's avatar

virtual blackeyes, @erichw1504?

jonsblond's avatar

virtual farts are fun too

JilltheTooth's avatar

Hmmmmm. Second thread this morning with farts. Gassy group of Jellies for Cinco de Mayo!

yankeetooter's avatar

Wait ‘til the eating of the beans with the tacos and the burritos and the margaritas @JilltheTooth

picante's avatar

Hi. My name is Picante, and I’m a Fluther-holic. Addiciton, pure and simple.

yankeetooter's avatar

Picante, will you be at the Cinco de Mayo (5 jars of mayonnaise) celebration?

OpryLeigh's avatar

For the fresh discussion that each day brings!

picante's avatar

Yankeetooter—with a name like “Picante,” every day is Cinco de Mayo for me! I’m all about the Mexican food, baby!

yankeetooter's avatar

that’s why I asked you, lol!...

ucme's avatar

As the seismologist said to his colleagues at the location of the latest quake, “i’m just here for the crack!”

yankeetooter's avatar

Hmm…crack leads to shaking and tremors…makes sense…

ucme's avatar

Oh no, I meant crack as in…..getting along famously with like minded individuals. You know, fun & games!!

yankeetooter's avatar

Yeah, alright, sure, whatever you say, lol!

ucme's avatar

Err, i’m not quite sure what you’re getting at, but whatever.

erichw1504's avatar

Like an ass crack?

yankeetooter's avatar

Sorry, @ucme, just joking around…

ucme's avatar

Ditto i’m sure!

Facade's avatar

Habit. I haven’t considered leaving. I like it here.

mazingerz88's avatar

Because I like to be surprised!

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

I come here every day to see the group of jellies that I adore.

erichw1504's avatar

I come here for the nekked pancake parties.

tinyfaery's avatar

Habit and curiosity.

Seaofclouds's avatar

I like helping people and have come to care about some of the jellies here, so it’s nice to come here and see how they are doing.

yankeetooter's avatar

I appreciate your help @Seaofclouds

mazingerz88's avatar

They built it and so I would come…( think Field of Dreams )

gailcalled's avatar

I am often fascinated and/or dumbstruck by what appears here. So I come as a voyeur and also as an amateur sociologist to observe the group process, and the sub-group process, and the mini-group process.

I come also to learn to hone a sentence to its leanest and pithiest form. Can I use fewer words and still get the sense across? Can I be more subtle? Is what I wrote too obvious?

Additionally, I come as a connoisseur of the language. Ripe pickings, wonderful new words and belly laughs.

Finally, there is the Milo support group, without whom I would not be here.

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

I come for the thought provoking questions and discussion.

I stay for the guacamole.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

I usually learn something new every day.

yankeetooter's avatar

@hawaii_jake There’s guacamole? Where?

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

@yankeetooter : Here. *Passes the platter of chips and guacamole. It’s fresh from avocados grown in my friend’s yard.

yankeetooter's avatar

—-mmm…nom, nom, nom…—

KateTheGreat's avatar

I come here to help other jellies out and to see some of my favorite people ever!

I’ve never once thought of leaving.

mazingerz88's avatar

Because it’s not Facebook

nikipedia's avatar

I tried posting on a totally different internet forum today. It quickly reminded me of why I spend so much time here. People on the rest of the internet are assholes.

YARNLADY's avatar

I visit several different sites every day, for the entertainment value, to learn something new, to see the interactions, and to answer questions.

_zen_'s avatar

@yankeetooter You are one of them. I won’t list all the other jellies that make me fluther daily – that would mean a list of about 99% and this frizzer aint big enough.

I ♥ fluther.

JilltheTooth's avatar

Uh oh, Zennie’s getting all sappy. This is becoming a pattern with you, sweetie. Ah, what the hell, I’ll make your day. Boobs.

Berserker's avatar

To fuck around and have fun, and to learn stuff every now and then. Made good friends, too. It’s also a place great to say things and express myself in ways I can’t or don’t want to do in the offline world.

yankeetooter's avatar

Thanks _@zen…you’re sweet…

wundayatta's avatar

I’m a whack job!

yankeetooter's avatar

Me too, @wundayatta, in case you hadn’t noticed…

wundayatta's avatar

You’re onto something there, @yankeetooter. I should take more time to stop and notice the whack jobs! :\

_zen_'s avatar

I, too, am a whack job. My job is to whack jellies here.

Berserker's avatar

I could have made some lame ass joke about whacking off, but eh…

_zen_'s avatar

You just did.

Berserker's avatar

I knew you’d get that. :D

_zen_'s avatar

I get everything. They don’t call me anal_zen for nought.

Berserker's avatar

Naught, nought…why do I just keep getting definitions of stuff about math? O_o

Did I just ruin or everything or…XD

_zen_'s avatar

Is that a rhetorical question? Are you flirting with my mind?

Berserker's avatar

You started it by mentioning anal. :D not my fault

_zen_'s avatar

Oh, I am so analicious.

Berserker's avatar

So that’s my answer. I come on here for all the anal greatness!

So, ever watched Human Centipede?

I’m going too far.

_zen_'s avatar

Cool.

No.

I guess not.

Nota bene: saw the trailer.

Berserker's avatar

I didn’t see it either, actually. It’s a pretty deep concept though. You know. Deep, anal…er…hm.

_zen_'s avatar

You’re flagged for going off topic. Meet me in PM for more anal-sex references.

Berserker's avatar

I’m in there right away, man.

_zen_'s avatar

Promises.

Berserker's avatar

I prefer the term threat. :D

_zen_'s avatar

I prefer the term sweat.

jonsblond's avatar

@Symbeline I haven’t seen The Human Centipede, but did you see the first episode of the new season of South Park? HumancentiPad? omg, too funny

_zen_'s avatar

@jonsblond Links or it never happened.

_zen_'s avatar

Typo, sorry. I can youtube. I meant drinks or it never happened.

jonsblond's avatar

@_zen Old Mil tonight. $13.99 for a 30 pack. Can you beat that?

_zen_'s avatar

Yes: 2 sixpacks gets you 3 on this belgian beauty – works out to just 99 cents a bottle. But only at your neighborhood desert 7/11 in the middle east.

Berserker's avatar

@zen I prefer the term sweet.

@jonsblond No, haven’t seen it…is South Park still awesome? I loved it back in the day, but then I didn’t have cable anymore. And when I had cable again, they just had French versions, which I abhor. Imma be checking that link though.

…south. :D

Berserker's avatar

Checked out link

Oh god. And by that I mean, fuck yeah. :D

jonsblond's avatar

@Symbeline It is. My husband always says at the end of each episode “Are they trying to get canceled?”. lol

Kardamom's avatar

I’ve had a few painful and embarrassing relationship situations in my life, and I like to try to help people to avoid going through some of the pain and humiliation and sadness that I endured.

I’m interested in good health, fitness and cooking and I love to talk to people about those subjects. I could talk about food and recipes all day long, and often do.

There’s a lot of really funny and very smart people on here and I love to hear what they have to say about the subjects that are important to me. Some times the answers shock me, sometimes they inspire me and sometimes they make me spit milk out of my nose.

I love discussing books and music and travel and there’s lots of people on here who have great information to share.

And maybe one day, I’ll figure out what’s the deal with all the frizzers and yarn. Until then, I’ll just keep on guessing.

JilltheTooth's avatar

I’m always amazed at the amount of fluid that gets spit onto the keyboards of Jellies, and we manage to keep typos to a minimum when all of us have such very sticky keys…

chyna's avatar

Mopping my keyboard as I type….

wundayatta's avatar

@JilltheTooth Sticky keys??? Ewwwww.

Oh. You said spit. I was thinking of something else. Never mind.

JilltheTooth's avatar

Ew, @wundayatta , remind me to never touch your ketboard!

wundayatta's avatar

@JilltheTooth No, no, no. Not my keyboard. I would never do anything to sully my keyboard.
