Like that monkey experiment where they put food on top of a ladder but every time someone tries to get the food everybody gets sprayed with cold water. When they stop trying to get food they take one monkey out and put a new one in who gets beaten up by the others when it tries to get the food. So they substitute in new monkeys until none of the originals are left but they still beat up anyone trying to get the food although they don't know why.

This vaguely describes my tenure as a mod of a moderately large gaming server

Didn't a lot of traditions start this way? First they solved some problem, then they forgot the problem existed and continued to apply the solution

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah, probably.

Anyways, let's eat some non-pig meat and chop off some foreskins!

The experiment itself seems to have never actually happened.

Pretty sure you just described like every sports team with a fanbase. The Football Team of Theseus.

49ers fans love to brag that the 49ers are among the teams with the most Super Bowl wins, but they haven’t gotten one in like 3 generations of players so you tell me, 49ers of Theseus. Do you have any Super Bowl wins?

the 196 of theseus? do we even have any 195'ers here? I know I am not one

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav 7 points 1 year ago

I visited 195 quite a lot, but I wouldn't call myself a 195er

And, scandalously, I never posted
