Ask HN: What was the best off-topic online discussion you have ever observed?

7 pointsby gver10over 4 years ago
Off-topic discussions happen all the time. It's the internet after all. However, were there any memorable, funny, weird off-topic discussions that stayed in your memory? I'm mainly referring to (semi-)-professional mailing lists, forums etc. where you normally wouldn't expect those discussions.

I&#x27;m reminded of the classic quote:<p>&quot;Is this anime channel?&quot;<p>&quot;Yes&quot;<p>&quot;How do I patch KDE2 for FreeBSD?&quot;

I seed this with a discussion about the Arc on a PL community mailing list (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;forum.dlang.org&#x2F;thread&#x2F;ibpbvybicqcjdxbzxanm@forum.dlang.org?page=5#post-mailman.5579.1599151768.31109.digitalmars-d:40puremagic.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;forum.dlang.org&#x2F;thread&#x2F;ibpbvybicqcjdxbzxanm@forum.dl...</a>)
