Wow, whatever you do, don't google "Asian guys at beach licking" if you want to find the Flickr account for this. No, seriously. Just...don't. o.O
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
changed my life forever...I will always go to the beach with a a few chubby buddies after porking myself up for those bosoms ~ and this image is most definitely going in the ol' spank bank

you know what would be funny: ok bear with me, if we blindfolded leather donut (you know the booby man) and...yeah fill in the blanks...something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch...

Sir, randomly linking to your FriendFeed from one of my posts is oh wait you'll never see this because you're blocked for spamming. Thanks anyway, kaghazrangy.
- Akiva Moskovitz
damn this picture just won't go away - you have forced me to hide it
- William Harryman
Akiva, wasn't that pic taken at your last BBQ?
- Paul
Every time I see this picture I smile. Their joy is infectious, like herpes.
- Sparky
Paul, I surely do wish I had a beach in my back yard!
- Akiva Moskovitz
Sparky, I'm going to have this blown up to poster-size and attaching it to the ceiling above our bed. That'll cause some infections!
- Akiva Moskovitz
makes me want to grow a rack and diddle with my own, know what I'm saying?
- sofarsoShawn
this. . . .this. . . ugh . . . so fucking wrong.
- Peter Ghosh
Akiva - you can put anything you want above our bed.
- Sparky
i've been trying to formulate a comment for this for days, but i just...can't.
- joey
I still want to know the motivation here. is this a gay marriage argument? or are we already pushing group social contracts on friendfeed?
- Noah David Simon
oh man this one keeps popping up on ma friendfeed,....must spread virus nao
- Chris Hofmann
I'm surprised no one's noticed old boy's red-framed glasses.
- Akiva Moskovitz
oh right... the glasses are so important when three asian men are licking his nipples and all the comments are by people who think gay marriage has something to do with equality... when it has everything to do with taking protections away from children. the red glass glasses.... um yeah. chicken and Oklahoma with milk
- Noah David Simon
Mark, you have uncovered the dark underbelly of humanity except in this case it isn't dark but is rather a pasty hue somewhere in the vicinity of undercooked flan.

i think if you unlike and delete all your comments anna it'll go away, but hide in general would be nice too (this photo makes me smile every time it pops up so don't mind it)...

It will go away, to be replaced with photoshops of the original. It's all part of the meme lifecycle.

I knew he would break eventually - it's fitting that it's on this thread *now to find out how to hide a thread once you've commented....*
- WorldofHiglet
As much as I am loathe to bump this post, I have to do it to say, You, sir, are a master. Well played, sir. Well played. This is why I take every opportunity to say, in my next life, I want to be Akiva. I've already called it! Don't anybody go getting any more ideas.

I, for one, refuse to "bump" posts...it's very unseemly...

There is nothing silly about it. This is serious business.

The more I see this, the more I like it. Not for the ironic nipple-licking, but because these kids are genuinely enjoying themselves. :) Carry on.

It's just so refreshing to see genuine juvenile humour at work. These kids are no different from any other, I think it's a great happy image, given all the other shite happening in this world on a daily basis. For those that are too pompous and prudish, 'up yours with brass knobs'

Wow. 666. Nice! Actually, the reason Asashoryu is getting a divorce ( http://ff.im/4T0UA ), is because he wants to spend time with this lot.

- Noah David Simon
You know, every time this pops up, since FF hides the middle of the comments of which there are 804 or so, I see Akiva say "I'm sorry." at the top. It makes me wonder about how some things are just not possible to apologize for!

the thing that strikes me about this (aside from the obvious) is after seeing this thing pop up like 35-40 times since March its just occurred to me that I don't have any (guy) friends that a) would lick my nipples b) would lick my nipples for a photograph. Maybe I should get out more...

For the life of me, I'll never understand the emotion people have around this picture for or against. There's no nudity at all, not even implied nudity. Less dude nudity than a beer commercial or cigarette ad, yet there are people who really really really hate this picture.

The bumping algorithm includes things like novel people posting to it, in addition to thread age, and rapidity of comments. If the same 3 people are talking in a thread, it quits bumping because it's obviously a closed tea party.

Jimminy, it's an irrational phobia. No different than people who are afraid of heights, spiders, clowns, or Canada.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, now I'm LMAO at the fear of Canada. People are actually afraid of Canada, or just the fact they don't know if they're British or French?
- Jimminy
I don't think even Canadians know that difference.
- Akiva Moskovitz
If Friendfeed had sound .. this thread would be all licks and slurps

On Fark, there was this one thread, that just kept growing and growing. On Fark, it was a single page per thread. And you could post images and gif inline. Well the thread wouldn't die, people just kept posting. I forget which one it was. Anyway, it got so monsterous, that few people going to read/post to it per day (which was only a handfull) accounted for 1/3 of the server load of the site. They eventually had to cull that thread.
- Matthew DeVries
I think everyone who has participated in this thread has 'culled' themselves privately.

We stripped the balls from the scrota, taking them to a giant plow set over an open wood fire for searing in oil, garlic, and chiles before parking them between two homemade rolls for hand sandwiches. The scrota were sauteed...

I used to watch them too. Was a fan of Giant Robot.

@Bindu: Ah, Giant Robot! I remember this so well from my childhood. Thanks for sharing.
- Thaths
Hah hah. Great memories indeed. My place had one of the very few TV sets in our locality then, and you would see our TV room filled with the entire neighborhood's kids when Giant Robot aired. Needless to say, it was the source of great social capital for me - used to have privileged access to all the new bicycles in the colony :D

interesting. I've tried a few times to get animated images to work on FF without success.. I guess piping it through twitpic might be the answer!

- Josh Haley
Just one question, Josh: are you by chance spinning on 9 different Aeron chairs that were a steal after the first dot-com bubble burst? The future of the internets: you're looking at it =)
- Micah Wittman
could anybody describe how to create such a picture? thx
- Arnaud Fischer
Arnaud, see http://friendfeed.com/mokarga... for tips. And Josh correct me if I'm wrong, he uploaded to Twitpic the same animated GIF 9 times, then created a friendfeed post and attached all 9 images by URL (instead of choosing images from his hard drive). Images coming from twitpic, soup.io, etc will animate, but photos hosted by friendfeed itself won't.
- Micah Wittman
Did not sleep well with all the spinning. :p
- Josh Haley
from iPhone
It's infinitely more amusing when they don't all load at the same time. Spinning chaos!!!
- CAJ, somewhere else
Why the friendfeed limitation on animated .gifs? It seems arbitrary and odd to me. I could see wanting to limit filesize (animated .gifs can get large) but you can upload huge .jpgs without any trouble.

Thanks, Lindsay! :) I think that's the first time someone described wanting to systematically hit me on the head repeatedly, yet have it come off as a compliment. I would love to take credit like I was Andy Warhol or something, but alas I was just tired and felt like doing something silly. :p
- Josh Haley

yep, what Lindsay said. That was one of the first bona-fide instances I've seen of using Friendfeed as a medium for net art. You could get in the Whitney & stuff. GOOD JOB
- Kamilah Gill
LOL! I actually didn't mean it the way it came out (the hitting you on the head part, the compliment part is ok ;)). But I'm in tears laughing when I read your reply. Whack-a-mole always frustrated the heck out of me... I did a lot more staring than hitting when I tried to play. It was mesmerizing.
- Lindsay
you wait - the scary part of this comes when one of these ffoodoo heads stops turning, starts grimmacing and talking to you ..... have you seen one of these heads actually get up off the chair and curse the world??? ... the seeming dissynchronicity, the haphazard discord with which these dollheads turn might drive you ...nuts

درد ندارم، یه پلاتین ُ چند وقت پیش درآوردن، یکش هم سر ِ سال باید در بیارم. برای تو هم شکسته؟
- Aliha
من زانوم رو جراحی کردم. پلاتین و پیچ و مهره کار گذاشتن :-&

صبح ها یکم درد داره وقتی از خواب پا می شی... تو زمستون هم می گن درد می آد سراغ آدم باید گرم نگه ش داشت / درکل نگران نباش خیلی زود می گذره من اصلن متوجه گذشت زمان نشدم :)

بعدن که بازش کنی پات اینقد سبکه واسه خودش می ره هوا :))))

yeah, no to both, IMO. lists like this just skew the field, IMO. it's not friendly, but i say "once you join up, you're on your own." if someone wants to "host" a list of suggested users, that's cool.
- MikeAmundsen
I think providing such a list is highly productive. Especially for new users who may be intimidated by social media.
- Benin Brown
I'd like to see example posts, rather than users -- pick the ones you "like," and a list of the posters (and people who liked the post) could be generated as a quick-start. Heck, that's how I find people half of the time by hand.
- Jennifer Dittrich
No, if they don't tell what they're *interested in*. Popular is such a dumb idea, seriously. aside, this is exactly why I humbly created SocialWhois: http://socialwhois.com
- directeur
Jennifer, that's an interesting idea.
- Kol Tregaskes
directeur, so the list(s) should be based on the users selected interests? Yep, I like that too. Then we need to improve the group and/or group search: http://ff.im/5avWj
- Kol Tregaskes
How about they are directed to a search form and asked to type in a keyword representing their interest. Immediately they'll be shown posts on that topic as well as people who are posting about that topic - and they can subscribe, comment, etc from there.
- LPH™ and his dog P™
Kol, exactly! Recommending someone should be based on what he's interested in. You won't recommend me "Britney Spears" knowing that I'm a jazz lover, would you? :) LPH: http://www.socialwhois.com/tag... :)
- directeur
I wouldn't recommend you Britney Spears ever. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Yes, Kol, I meant "no" to both. I think it's much more important to provide new users with a screencast or a set of pages with screenshots that suggest how to get started. Suggested groups or users skews everything, as Mike put it. *Show* people how to find groups and users, but don't *tell* them which ones to find.
- Laura Norvig
I'll disagree with most and say yes: They should be recommended the Friendfeed for Beginners Group and a specific FF staffer's individual account, whose sole purpose is to interact, welcome, and share -- for the purpose of demonstrating the process and modeling the etiquette of the FF community.
- tollie williams
I was thinking that they could analyse the first few posts that someone imports, to try and match people, but that'd be useless if the new user still hasn't imported anything. Still, forwarding them to FriendFeed Feedback or some sort of "Welcome Room" would be a good idea.
- Tyson Key
I think new users ought to be subscribed by default to FF-News, FF-Feedback, a specific Welcome to FF! group (DIY self-help), and that's about it. The last group should have a periodic, perhaps every other day repost of "what to do after you've read this" suggestions, with previous instances of it deleted by some internal script after each new one has been posted. Those participating in...

- ianf ⌘
I like you're idea about a 'Welcome' group and should be given the option to sub to the News and Feedback group. The blog should be highlighted too though.
- Kol Tregaskes
Hmm, when the user opts to create their account using another service, why not give them the chance to import their feed(s) from it at the same time? I don't see why it shouldn't be possible with Facebook or Twitter, and it gives something to start with.
- Tyson Key
(After all, FriendFeed already have their credentials to perform the initial account creation)
- Tyson Key
From someone who's just started using Friendfeed recently, I recommend giving users both the options. Some users would not like to be overwhelmed with groups, while others would like to get going straight into the action. I think there are a lot of users who migrate (upgrade?) from Twitter, for whom the concept of users is familiar unlike groups. For others migrating from FB or other networks, groups may be preferable.
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
yes, if those user recommendations can be based on something meaningful, such as popularity among imported friends

i should take a camera phone shot of myself just after i take off my CPAP mask in the morning. i look like a fscking corpse, and not a fresh one.

I think I just won the Embarrassing Photo Meme. Forever. :D
- Steven Perez
Thanks... AJ... liking this a lot better... I was starting to look for something to replace friend feed... still going to look, but it doesn't have to be found tonight.
- Harold
I like this style except that it makes the fonts small.
- Vezquex: God of FF
Comment font is too small. How to enlarge it in the script? I've already replaced font color in script with #000000 for clarity. Thanks for doing all this AJ. Otherwise, I would drop FF.
- Polly Potter
Ok, - this is very nice, except for the bouncing that happened in firefox on first use of script (screen bounce, firefox, vista) otherwise, this is nice.
- Dan Morrill AKA Techwag
Tried it and it didn't work. When I relaunched chrome, it launches to an error page (Oops! This link is broken) with this in the search box "enable user scripts 475k". Sure I'm doing something wrong. Just can't pinpoint it.
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
Great tutorial Sean! My problem was that I was copying/pasting your "–enable-user-scripts" line from IE which put it in as an odd hyphen rather than a double dash. When I typed it myself, it worked fine. It was looking at your screenshot that clued me in.
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
The cleaner FF style is a little clunky when it refreshes from page to page. Does anyone else notice this? Or is it just in Chrome?
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
AJ, great tutorial on enabling scripts on Chrome.
- Mike Reynolds
Mike, It was Sean for the Chrome tutorial. ;)
- AJ Batac
@Jen Ooh, thanks for pointing that out! I'll make sure to note the double dashes in the article. I did that the first time as well
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Polly, to enlarge the comment section and sidebar font sizes (this is just rough), edit stylish script as follows: [CHANGE]: .main ul li a, .section ul li a { font-size: 13px !important; } [CHANGE]: .info,.likes,.comment,#footer,.pager,.bottom,.hidetoggle { font-size: 13px !important; } [ADD after ".searchbold" line]: .content {font-size:13px }
- Micah Wittman
Wow, does this using this on FireFox 3.5 make a world of difference. FriendFeed is actually easily readable. Thanks so much for this!
- nadezhda
Belated thank you to Micah for the tips about font size. FF soooo much easier to read now.
