The news and articles section of the forum is less about actual news and more a collection of dumb shit written by journalists.

[rules of nature]

The happenings thread is where the real news is at.

 

[Osmosis Jones]

A&N is basically just Reddit. Content aggregation and mass retardation.

 

[eDove]

You are not incorrect.

 

[Skitarii]

No shit retard, no one wants to read boring actual news

 

[BallisticStylus]

TBH, I just read the comments, not the actual article.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

TBH, I just read the comments, not the actual article.

Usually what I do is see the hot take headline, skip the article so I don't get exposed to more BS propaganda, then read comments.

 

[Lards and Lasses]

Oh boy, another pinktard thinks he has an original hot take on A&N and Happenings.

 

[Catler]

A&N is fun, who doesn’t like getting angry every now and then?

Happenings is over the top, nothing ever happens, everyone knows this.

 

[The Bovinian Derivative]

A&N is our shrine(although considering it has more threads than the rest of the forum combined, giant fucking cathedral more likely) to CatParty. We congregate and offer stickers to our feline overlord.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

It's better to laugh at dumb journalists, though it feels like a lot of them are honeypot threads.

A&N is basically just Reddit. Content aggregation and mass retardation.

Yeah, that.

Real interesting how a lot of newfags took to that subforum and turned it into Reddit.

 

[stupidpieceofshit]

To be fair most "news" [from online """"""""sources""""""""] people get exposed to these days is utter dog shit, regardless of political stances
Some form of "I'm/I did x and this is what people need to do when y"
"X chain released new menu item" (In a market that is a not only in a different country, but in a different continent"
Rehash of a reddit post or tiktok video
Local outage of the month content
If there is any local news its hours or days (at best) outdated (e.g. severe weather watches/warnings).

 

[I (Don't) Have A Gun]

Ok?
Not sure what more there is to say, I don't think this is a particularly novel or controversial opinion. It's mostly just really stupid articles that people get to make snide comments at as a bit of catharsis because the articles posted are pure concentrated retardation the same retardation that in a lesser form touches on many aspects of peoples lives but to which they cannot speak out about in those context.

 

[umami's milk]

I do need NEWS. And ARTICLES. Wanna know why? "I have a dream." That one day, every kiwi in this forum will create their OWN threads. A website of the TRULY free, dammit. A website of ACTION, not words. Ruled by STRENGTH, not jannies. Where the guidelines change to suit the individual, not the other way around. Where lulz and sneed are back where they belong: in the hands of the people! Where every kiwi is free to think -- to act -- for himself! Fuck all these limp-dick journos and chicken-shit admins. Fuck this 24/7 Internet spew of trivia and CWC bullshit. Fuck "THUNDERDOMER PRIDE". Fuck the media! Fuck all of it! Kiwifarms is diseased. Rotten to the core. There's no saving it -- we need to pull it out by the roots. Wipe the slate clean. BURN IT DOWN! And from the ashes, a new Kiwifarms will be born. Evolved, but untamed! The oldfags will be purged, and the strongest will thrive -- free to live as they see fit, they will make Kiwifarms GREAT AGAIN!

 

[Kenya Jones]

I'm the best A&H poster because I only post high quality articles.

 

[NerdShamer]

I'm only in there to watch @Hollywood Hulk Hogan bait people over arguing about how gay he really is.

 

[Glowie Hunter Art Bell]

Largely because that's what modern news is

 

[Epic Fail Man]

Oh boy, another pinktard thinks he has an original hot take on A&N and Happenings.

I have noticed that Deep Thoughts is also often filled with dumb shit written by retards rather than actual deep thoughts

 

[Bored Gamer]

A&N is for containment. Mostly for retards.

 

[Next Task]

True. It's very little news and mostly a 'Bad journalism and thinkpieces' subforum.

My life is better when I don't know those articles exist, but that's just how it goes.
