The Challenge Challenge
0Current Challenge: You decide! Go ahead, set a challenge of your own and let other people respond!
WHAT’S GOING ON HERE??
The basics: We’re doing a little April Fools’ Day game, asking our users to complete a series of ridiculous, stupid, and fun (we hope) photography/writing/drawing tasks throughout the day.
But why: Because April Fools’ Day has grown tiresome. Sure, maybe we laughed the first few years that corporations took on the challenge of lying to their customers. But then, we got to the point where Continental was tweeting about their new airliner constructed entirely from bacon or whatever and it got a little old. We want to celebrate April Fools’ Day in a fun way.
Okay, but why on March 31st: Because you’re more likely to be tethered to your computer on a Friday than a Saturday.
Will there be winners: Yes! The winner will be whoever gets the most votes on their entry!
Will there be prizes: Yes! The pride of knowing you had some fun on the internet!
So, there won’t be prizes: Correct. Anyway, we hope you enjoy yourself.

Challenge: Whisper me a spicy photo.
@medz No need to whisper.
@werehatrack it works better if it’s “just for me”
Challenge: Whisper me the code for a free irk - that would be totally free as in I don’t have to buy anything to get it.
challenge: use the word “fuck” in a creative, non-fuck-standard, way
example: “well that really took the fuck out of his sails”
@carl669 like fuck a duck!
@carl669 fuck fuck fuck a duck, screw a kangaroo, finger bang an orangutan… Orgy at the zoo!
@carl669 not sure how exactly I could wax fuckquacious to satisfy this request.
@carl669
@carl669 cut out the fuckery with that coat of orange and get fucked off that bloody plank ya lily liveried scalywag!
@carl669 also I thought of you today when I was cleaning out the murder shed, which is sadly collapsing, and found my prototype for your goat/fuck/snowflake ornament. I truly hope you still have yours.
@carl669 There is no longer a nonstandard way to use “fuck” and its variants. It has become a metaword. You are part of the reason for this, but the rest of us are proud of our contributions and will acknowledge that it has been lots of fuck.
@carl669 This is fucky
@carl669 this just showed up in my Insta feed. It screams you!

@ybmuG Ok
Find me a decent job that I can travel while working.
<mode=“Morden”>What do you want?</mode>
Choose an unsolved problem of higher mathematics. It’s a challenge right? Goldbach conjecture, Riemann hypothesis, whatever, the choice is yours! Then get to work on solving it!!
Once you’re done, reply back with:
#1 your chosen problem
#2 your (correct!) solution
#3 a photo of your inevitable Fields Medal in mathematics (make sure the lighting is good!)
Sounds fun?? Let’s go!
@awk
Q: what is the square root of a duck
A: corn
@awk This might win something:
Shape with a Pattern that Never Repeats
@awk @compunaut Fascinating - and how neat that it’s literally an “einstein.”
You’re at the end of a line that never ends, and everything before you is there to make sure it exists before you get to it.
Where are you?
@aaee More of a “when”, I should think; now.
@aaee Target on Black Friday
@narfcake it really is the answer to everything. It is also the number of my age as of next Friday!
@narfcake The larger challenge, of course, is finding The Great Question.
(And yes, 9x6=42 in base 13, a fact which Douglas found supremely unfunny. Some of us think that the Universe was having a bit of fun on him.)
@narfcake @sillyheathen 'Tis a magical age…
Challenge: What is the most outrageous Classic-Car-to Electric-Conversion?
@compunaut It has not been done as far as I know, but an obvious candidate would be the Lamborghini Countach. Classic, certainly, and one of the most utterly useless vehicles ever made.

Stop.
Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.
@xobzoo African or European challenge?
@shahnm In the interest of not wishing to alienate anyone, maybe it’s best if we call it an African-European challenge?
Do you dare to eat a peach?

@mossygreen
“Assorted flavors” - sweet? Sour? Bland?
@Kyeh @mossygreen Underripe, picked-too-green, and rotten-inside.
