The Goatest of All Time (April 2026 Scapegoat Blame Thread)

@ExtraMedium

Hmm…
Are you calling me a nobody?

@ExtraMedium @Lynnerizer
You’re right. I also resent resemble that remark!!

I accept blame both for the Meh-rathon and the items in it.

Blame acceptance does not cover IRKs.

@werehatrack
History has a way of repeating itself…

@Kyeh Here’s the image you requested for “April Fools Goat”

@Kyeh I’ll end up stealing this. Blame @zippyus for that.

@ExtraMedium @zippyus I think it’s really yours anyway.

@craigthom You did just fine. Remember, just showing up placed you ahead of multiple other goats already.

@craigthom @narfcake Nobody is supposed to volunteer for it, although some masochistic souls have done that.

@craigthom He who wears the crown … should give it a good cleaning before passing it on to the next suc … vict … errr … wiener.

@zippyus Here’s the image you requested for “split view of pot metal crown before and after tarnish remover”

@zippyus
Damn those pesky nouns and their multiple personalities meanings.

@narfcake
…those nefarious bastards!

@narfcake And think of the marketing information they are getting from that April fool’s stunt.

@chienfou @Kidsandliz As a late follow-up, the culprit was that some items I purchased earlier in the week were grouped as if they were 1-cent so their system thought I already bought my limit. The cables were priced 70% lower than even the overseas platforms, so I’ll take the $100+ in savings versus the $10 or so for the penny items.

Blame rescinded, @zippyus.

@mediocrebot @zippyus That thing with shelves where you put books is now known as curtains. Got it.

But what are those two things in the lower right of the picture that look like you could put feet in them?

@ItalianScallion @mediocrebot @zippyus Mouse.

@Kyeh @mediocrebot @zippyus Aha! Thank you. I’m going to take a fiver out of my coins and buy a pen of coffee, kick off my mouse, and relax on whatever that comfy thing is under the window. I can’t make up my mind if I’m going to use my phone to move the cursor on my laptop to pick out some tunes to listen to on my coffee mug or take a book out of the curtains to read. I’m hungry, though, so maybe I’ll just have a slice of glasses from inside the pizza.

@ItalianScallion @Kyeh @mediocrebot @zippyus Good thing it got cat right. I wouldn’t want to have to pet a messy snack or coffee or something.

@unksol This sounds all too familiar to me. 🫤

@Kyeh lol I took out an LED very bright flashlight and was scanning/retracing my movements for the last couple days which… Is how I found the remote.

But I know I put random bits of hardware on top of there all of the time because it’s raining/too humid to open the garage/some piece I had to mail order.

I don’t normally have them in a pocket. normal pocket things wallet/keys/phone/receipts all have destinations.

I am sure I put these in a pocket. Got home. Changed to “house clothes” and the was the logical place to put them.

Just took me a minute.

Honestly the remote in the laundry makes less sense.

Other than I knew they were going to play one of those stupid 3 minute AI ads. And I really wanted it to die as soon as possible in the middle of whatever history/scientific thing

Or possibly cooking show

@unksol I finally put an Airtag on my remote, and have used it several times! I carry it into the kitchen because there’s an opening above the sink so I can watch TV from there, but I want to mute the ads. And then I get distracted and put it down somewhere between the two rooms.

@Kyeh well not apple I can use the app but. A dedicated remote is just… Better.

Technically maybe test the over the air tuner

But yes I can use them via my phone. I haven’t tried it for OTA but remotes are Bluetooth

@Kyeh @unksol Airtag … you mind my read.

@unksol
@cfg83 – you do that too?

@cfg83 @Kyeh and just to be first if you do that to find something. All my it can do is w vector to your phone. Via your location which. Is creepy manipulative stuff it could just use Bluetooth and signal strength to guide you to them. Entirely without anyone . Basic triangulation.

If you wanted to allow the company to use your account to triangulate in the wild… I guess… Your choice to let them run up prices on demand. But you probably don’t? People who walk ar9 with location on just confuse a bit

@cfg83 @unksol I don’t walk around with location on but I give permission to specific apps to use my location when I’m using the app only.

@Kyeh @unksol Sounds like you need a second remote to put in the kitchen. Problem solved.

@Kidsandliz @unksol I’d like that, but it’s an old model and I can’t get another that’s the same. The Airtag actually works though!

@Kidsandliz @Kyeh I mean you could get a universal/if it’s a streaming tv via dongle or built in your phone will do it. I agree a physical remote is way better and the look alike I got it amazon as a backup is… Fine. But not nearly as clicky/responsive as the original.

At least you haven’t left it in the freezer lol I only bought the backup because I somehow put it in the back seat of the expedition. And had searched the whole house. Over a couple weeks flipped the couch to make sure it hasn’t fallen in… I had to have gotten up with the remote and decided while I was up I needed… Something out of the back seat. but why I didn’t set it down somewhere before going out the door. I didn’t find it for a few months cause just… Never go into the backseat on that side.

I do have that box or 2 of dead trackers from meh…

@Kyeh @unksol
You just reminded me and now I’m trying to remember how I’m supposed to activate the beeper/finder that’s built into my remote control and nothing is coming to mind! I don’t have a app for it so Hmm…
Lol

@Lynnerizer @unksol Your remote has one built in? I’m jealous!

@Kyeh @Lynnerizer if it has that feature it’s both interesting and funny. I’m sure you could Google the manual.

If I were designing that feature. Man without a super low power thing like a tag. You could use the remotes batteries but it would be a drain.

@Kyeh @unksol

“Your remote has one built in? I’m jealous!”

You wouldn’t be jealous if you knew HOW MUCH the TV cost! Lol…

It’s got a great picture but most people wouldn’t be able to tell when it’s not lined up next to less expensive models! Being my family was in the TV business I really do appreciate the wonderful picture but I don’t think I’d spend that much money next time.

@unksol good point about googling the manual. I actually forgot about that feature until Kyeh mentioned it.
Thankfully i’m the remote keeper and as long as I can keep it out of my guys hands there’s NO CHANCE of losing it! Lol

@Lynnerizer @unksol
This is me, (but on the couch, I don’t have a TV in my bedroom)
https://youtube.com/shorts/Z6X9QjHbNsI?si=PZv-GQdgQVRsE6f6

@Kyeh I have to feel around a cats ass or the cushion… Sorry about toby

@unksol Thanks - I did sometimes find it under him if he was lying on the couch.

@zippyus Here’s the image you requested for “Larry David as Senator Palpatine, Star Wars.”

@mediocrebot @zippyus I see a role in Space Balls: The David Strikes Back!

@cfg83 @mediocrebot @zippyus yeah no I’ll keep it local. You can’t ban my existing router

@Lynnerizer So do you have a diagnosis for the tumor yet?

Yeah kidney stones… 'nough said.

@Lynnerizer I was gonna say halfway down… Great no kidney stone but… Symptoms… Tumor is not the best… But if it’s benign that is good

Side note has anyone ever told you to dial in the emojis? Lot going on there lol but you do you obviously

@Kidsandliz
No diagnosis yet, just that it’s coming out as soon as I get cleared for surgery from several different specialists. She says she’s hopeful it’s not malignant just from the shape but she can’t tell until it comes out and it’s biopsied. Honestly, i’m more worried about going under anesthesia than I am about it being something bad. I’ve had a lot of surgeries throughout the years, at least 30, and the older I get it’s harder and harder to come out of it.

@unksol

I’m praying all is good! Time will tell…

And yes, someone here once said they wouldn’t even read my text because of the emojis! Looking back at the one you are commenting about YES, there’s a lot! Can you say overboard… 🛟 Lol

I’m wondering if in this case it was a good distraction for me from the content itself.
Are they really that distracting though?

@Kidsandliz @Lynnerizer Oh, wow. I hope maybe it’s a fibroid tumor, because those are usually benign. I’m glad they diagnosed it, but sorry to have to have more surgery!
Was the APRN angry because it hadn’t been diagnosed sooner?!
Let us know what you find out, please! 🫶

@Lynnerizer Ummm … @unksol, if she has to cut back on the emojis, then maybe you have to make your sentences more complete? Just saying … They can be awfully cryptic sometimes!

@Kyeh @Lynnerizer was not suggesting you should use less emojis or be quieter. My apologies if it felt like that. But I’m not remotely surprised someone told you to tone it down. People don’t like anything that doesn’t conform to what they expect.

Was asking not criticizing. They certainly are a bright pop lol. Saying they wouldn’t read anything cause emojis… Is very very dumb

Fingers crossed for the biopsy that’s… A horrible thing to wait for

@Kidsandliz @Kyeh
Thanks Kyeh! It hasn’t been officially diagnosed yet but what my oncology gynecologist thinks it could/might be is a piece of the ovary I had removed that grew back when I had a oophorectomy. It’s called Ovarian Remnant Syndrome (ORS) and it’s possible 30 years later it started growing even more! Or, she also said It could be a cyst. I’ll keep you updated, looks like surgery will be done in the middle of May, right around my birthday! Well… I suppose the BEST BD gift would be a clean bill of gynecological health…

Yeah, I’m not sure why the APRN was so angry, it could’ve been what you said about it not being found earlier. I wish I would’ve just asked him! Usually I would’ve but I had so many other questions running through my mind after I was told that shocking news about the stone not causing any issues. I think he was wrong though, I just started having really bad sharp pain way up high in my flank, that’s directly behind the stone and no where near the tumor. IDK, I’m wishing and wondering if I had went to the ER would they have just gone in and taken it out then?
Could’ve would’ve should’ve, I could play THAT game all day!

@Kyeh @unksol

Thanks for looking out Kyeh, you KNOW I’m not going to ruffle feathers here! Lol Seems like I spent my entire life being loud and outspoken but I refuse to do it behind a keyboard on the Internet. I’ve seen it get real Jerry Springer like and I want NO part of THAT crazy! Can’t say I haven’t text out many angry paragraphs but luckily I deleted them instead of posting. Well, honestly, a few of them might be hanging out pinned in my clipboard. The other day here on Meh someone really set me off. Come to find out when I went back and reread their comment I found that I misread it! Saved some face there by deleting my thoughts! 🫣

I wasn’t offended by your comment unksol, I got that you were just asking. However, I did think you must find them bothersome! I have always “done me” although as I mentioned above, my “ME” has changed over the years! That’s the cool thing about being human, change/growth is inevitable! At least for most of us…
One thing is for sure, no one will ever keep this chatterbox quiet and the emojis have been a little addicting.
Different strokes for different folks, and IF you don’t like what I have to say or the way I do it, as they say in Australia (or maybe it’s England ) PISS OFF!

But seriously, no hard feelings!

@Kyeh @Lynnerizer

Could’ve would’ve should’ve, I could play THAT game all day!

Yeah but when you get this kind of news and a wait that is that long to find the answer it is really hard to stop thinking about it and wondering if I had done X then would I know Y sooner, what if it is Z and the wait will make this entire mess worse…

It took 8 years for my follicular non-hodgkin’s lymphoma to be diagnosed because a ton of different people weren’t going their job over the years, not taking my symptoms seriously, and making wrong assumptions. And it took 4 years for my first breast cancer to be diagnosed for similar reasons on top of that “you are too young to have a mammogram and it is just normal lumpy breast” assumption (it was 5.5cm when finally diagnosed). I sure had a lot of "could’ve would’ve should’ve’ after these things happened.

Good luck dealing with the wait. It can be hard at times when your brain has no off switch for the concern/worry about the what is it and more.

@Kyeh @Lynnerizer meh. I can be an asshole sometimes. It happens. I try to avoid it/people grow up. Sometimes

I’ll happily take feedback lol

@Kidsandliz @Kyeh

Thanks Kidsandliz, I appreciate your support, you definitely get it! Unfortunately from first hand experience. I don’t think you can ever be “too young” for a mammogram! IF you have boobs and there’s a problem a mammogram can be very telling! That reminds me of those addiction counselors that never abused anything in their life. IMO, you can only learn so much from books…
My medical charts at some of my Drs/specialists are in multiple notebooks that are over 6" thick, so like you I’ve been through my share. Unfortunately that’s what gets me second guessing some of their opinions and more recently I’ve found myself becoming extremely cynical, it doesn’t feel good and I don’t like it! 🥹
I knew I needed to go see about the kidney stones sooner but they weren’t causing much pain. That’s one of the bad things about being on pain meds, they mask EVERYTHING! I’ve just got to calm my mind from this awful projecting, May will be here before I know it and hopefully this will all be behind me!

@Kyeh @unksol

You’re fine!
I think we all have our moments!

@Lynnerizer
Sorry to hear about all your troubles. Wishing you light at the end of the tunnel that isn’t an oncoming train !

@chienfou

Lol
I love it!
You warmed my heart and put a huge smile on my face! Thanks!

@Lynnerizer

That reminds me of those addiction counselors that never abused anything in their life. IMO, you can only learn so much from books

I saw a social worker after my first breast cancer diagnosis. She told me she knows exactly how I feel as her aunt had breast cancer. Really? That is one asshole who shouldn’t be in social work. When my brother died the Dean of Student Services (ran an outdoor adventure program at the time and was 26) told me she knew how I felt as her brother almost died. Yeah right. Her brother lived. Mine didn’t. This was a week after the funeral and she told me by showing I was sad I was upsetting her staff; that I should be over it by now. Really? This was another person who was in the wrong job.

@Lynnerizer @unksol I think it’s actually very interesting how people write in forums like this, where they can be casual. Personally I’m just as finicky about how I write here as anywhere else - I hate seeing typos later; I sometimes take so long writing that I have to copy it and repost it because it’s been over 5 min. so the “Say it” won’t work.
I know most people aren’t as compulsive about it. And I never used to use emojis but my sister started using them and I got into it after that. But I feel like I know what people are like from the way they write. Sometimes I’m dead wrong though!
I’ve known a few people who are very concise and write about things very clearly - but in person they use a LOT of words.

@Kidsandliz @Lynnerizer

could/might be is a piece of the ovary I had removed that grew back when I had a oophorectomy

Wow, that’s strange! That internal tissue is so weird the way it can grow in the wrong places
even when it’s benign.

@Kidsandliz @Lynnerizer It makes me wonder sometimes why people choose these kinds of careers. The partner of friend of mine was a psychologist/therapist so he’d meet some of her colleagues at parties, and he said a lot of them were very strange.

@Kyeh @unksol

I get it, I think it’s a pride thing! You know, always putting your best foot forward. I don’t write any different here than I would anyplace either, and sometimes I feel like it takes me forever too! Like this comment here, I started it last night (like 8 hours ago ) and I already deleted the WAY TOO wordy, mile long version, TWICE! Lol I ONLY WISH I could be concise!
As you can CLEARLY see grammar, especially proper punctuation, isn’t my strong suit! But… I’d rather use too many commas than have my words run together and not make sense.

I’m thinking the people that are willy nilly with how they write/text, and don’t care much about how they come across are the same people that go out of the house in wrinkled clothes and without checking themselves in front of the mirror first! Yeah, that’s harsh, I’m being a little judgemental… 🫣 At least I don’t have anyone specific in mind.
I’m curious what my writing says about me, it would be kinda like a psychic reading.

I never used to use emojis, I started about 2 years ago and I’m not sure why. I guess I liked the whole “a picture says a thousand words” thing. As if I don’t already explain my thoughts in enough words! LMBO…
I was obsessed with text emoticons and all the different “shruggies” for a while and then here on Meh they started coming up amputees, they were always missing an arm! ¯_(ツ)_/¯
If I had a Apple phone I’m sure I’d be obsessed with generating my own with Genmojis.

Sometimes I do get a little (A LOT) carried away, kinda like here in this text, I suppose it could always be worse! Some people are going to judge (no matter what it’s about ) and I know they’ll be annoyed with the emojis/me but I feel like THAT’S social media and there’s ALWAYS going to be haters! X-( ¯(ツ)/¯

Edited -
Kyeh, one more thing…
You mentioned you have to start over after 5 minutes or something like that.
The only time I get caught up with the 5 minute timer is when I’m editing and even then I’m able to go beyond that as long as I start the edit before the 5 minutes.
Are you texting on your phone or the computer? …

(◕‿◕✿)

@Kyeh @unksol

My edit was started at 1 minute in and when I finished it said 8 minutes. And of course the edit tab was gone.
Yeah, I am SLOW! My most common usernames are Turtlegurlygirl and Turtlegurl! 🩼 Lol
Jus sayen…

@kyeh
@Kidsandliz - You definitely have had your share of dealing with people who were CLEARLY in the wrong profession! How embarrassing for them and even worse, how unfortunate and HURTFUL for YOU!

It reminds me of MY own faux pas… 🫣

I felt SO BAD and was SO EMBARRASSED when I stuck my foot in my mouth and asked a 40-50 year old nurse if she was pregnant!

IDK WHAT IN THE WORLD I WAS THINKING… Besides of course that she looked to be 7 months pregnant! Big take-away was everything doesn’t have to be spoken and/or acknowledged!

THAT was one of the MOST embarrassing things I’ve ever done, and definitely something I NEVER thought I would do! Especially since I was almost 60 and certainly KNEW BETTER! 🫣 Now, 3 years later, at least “I” can laugh about it. But, I truly hope I didn’t traumatize the poor lady and throw her into any kind of eating disorder!

Kyeh - Yeah it’s definitely weird how those cells can reproduce! In my case, irregular and unpredictable as it was, it was even enough to start my menstrual cycle back up. That was crazy to me! So much so that I’m not sure I would’ve even believed it if it wasn’t happening to me!
I might have mentioned this before but that’s the time I became a true believer of and very interested in stem cell research. Ironically, it all happened at the same time Michael J Fox was promoting it on the Oprah show.

@Lynnerizer I write stuff on my iPhone.
I don’t think the careless writers are indifferent to how they present themselves physically, I think they just don’t put that much importance into writing in a casual forum.
Oh, if you want the shrug emoji in here, you have to use a slash “/” plus the word “shrug”
and it has to be on its own line.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And I think “Turtlegurlygirl” is a very cute username!

@Kyeh
Ha, thanks for the smile you just put on my face! And for the shrug tip, I didn’t know that! I’m testing it out…

Maybe I’ll change my username here on Meh, I believe I read that we’re allowed a one time change.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lynnerizer was a nickname my girlfriend gave me because I always made a entrance in my old muscle car with it’s souped up motor, a 69 Camaro. I was a force to be reckoned with! Like a hurricane or a tornado I always came in LOUD, PROUD and FULL OF LIFE!

Lol…

@Lynnerizer I believe it! Lynnerizer is a cute name too, I always liked it. I chose my username here just to have something short & easy to remember because I didn’t expect to visit often enough to memorize it hahaha - so much for that!

@Kyeh

Exactly, who would’ve known… They hooked us!

@Kyeh @Lynnerizer just FYI I don’t think the say it button actually expires. On a new post

I do know I obsessively reread things sometimes and the editing window itself is short once you hit say it. So you can find minor things but not like totally change the contents.

I wonder if someone edits the post you are replying to in that short window it disconnects your response because you would be responding to something that has changed. So wants you to refresh. So it doesn’t look like you’re responding to something that disappeared.

Which would probably be good… Ish? I think I’ve always been able to hit the back button on my phone when it fails to post and copy paste it out so I didn’t lose the whole thought.

@Kyeh @Lynnerizer is @shawn still around? I’m kinda curious now. Never ran forum software but that seems like a good precaution. Granted the timeout on edits make an intentional bait and switch hard to do anyway. May just prevent some accidents.

But then you would also need to not allow edits after it has been replied too… Still sounds like a good practice to me.

@Kyeh @shawn @unksol

After reading this comment and the one above it at least FIVE TIMES I’m super confused and can’t really follow. Maybe it’s because i’ve been napping or maybe it’s all just over my head! IDK but I give up!

Edit -
I know that I don’t have a timer on the “say it” tab, I only have it when I edit like I mentioned before.

@Lynnerizer so if you think of a thread like a conversation chain. It would be… Not cool if I said something awful. You started responding. But I was still in the limited edit window. So I could just change what I said to make you look bad. Or change it just trying to fix someone and then your response didn’t make sense

Either before or after.

I was just wondering how that is handled in the meh forum software/if there’s anything other than the timeout.

The timeout on edits is probably mostly sufficient but was just wondering if a change in the comment being replied to would do a check to see it was the same when started

It’s easy when there can only be only reply. But can be many to one/add new people.

We mostly just… Parse them because humans can follow multiple splitting/collapsing/overlapping conversations…

@Aetherwizard
Odd… But in a good way.
And if you’re referring to the goat phenomena. This is a marginally elected position filled once a month by some poor sap mehtizen who’s job it is to accept blame and/or unblame (ie take credit) for things that go wrong/right in your life. Basically it just gives us a chance to bitch about/celebrate minor inconveniences and victories.

@Aetherwizard odd compared to what?

@Aetherwizard @pakopako This is a goODD question.

/showme Community of people called meh that are ODD, but not as ODD as community of people called woot. The woot people are very very strange.

@cfg83 Here’s the image you requested for “Community of people called meh that are ODD, but not as ODD as community of people called woot. T…”

@mediocrebot I did NOT expect it to be this good.

@cfg83 @mediocrebot idk. Woot looks like they are partying through the end times. Meh looks like they know the sign is lying now and the end is nigh

The head or pile or… whatever of baby heads can just fuck off though. No thanks

@cfg83 @mediocrebot @unksol
The baby heads belong on the meh side. Remember the KHJ creations?

@cfg83 @chienfou @mediocrebot I don’t recall whow KHJ is off hand but I remember a goat I think making some well done horror dolls?
