Yes. No thread stuffing of "foamy" and the like.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yes. No thread stuffing of "foamy" and the like.
Good thing "porn" is already a word then, given how some of the old threads got "porn"-ed to the max.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, no one's fighting for the porn count crown anymore.

Oh! I misunderstood. I totally forgot about the porn count and Holli's sneaky whitefont.
I thought he just meant the old threads were very porny, implying that the new ones aren't.
Pay no attention to the Teppy behind the curtain.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Lexicogs already use "pron" (for pronunciation) all the time. (I have no independent data on their non-pronunciation 'pron' use.) You-all are gonna really discombobulate them.

pron or pr0n is a pretty common internettism, so they need to have it on file, whether from us or somewhere else.
