Title: An Idea for a DU Focused Business
Post by: FlippyDoo on August 01, 2025, 10:22:31 AM
When I first appeared at our old home, CU, the DUmmies were truly an entertaining lot. Sure, they were just as stupid as they are now, but back then it was like they subconsciously knew that their real duty was to entertain normal, sane people. And entertain they did. If I had a dollar for every laugh that their stupidity has brought me, I’d likely be on financial par with Elon.

For some reason, the supernatural comedy of their "reality based community" is what really hooked me. For instance, they’d put down people who believed in God and the Bible and then segue directly into talking about how they could tell when their fictional spirit-guide was visiting them because they could smell bacon or maybe cigar smoke. Of course, their being used to smelly fictional spirit-guides was a bit of a plus to me. Since I’m a fictional spirit-guide with no smell whatsoever, if they didn’t smell anything it likely meant that I was there helping them without them even knowing it. Anyway, I rambled about that to say this…

The other day, I began missing the old days of DU. Back when, in addition to them pouring their hate on anything that is good and decent AND them bowing knee to their DemonRat overlords, they would also discuss their astral travels and smelly fiction spirit-guides and would send out good vibes and white light. I finally decided to look up some old DU and found this exchange which brought to mind a potential business idea (which I’ll discuss after the DU posts)...

Sage me. Seriously.
There has to be a remote saging ritual someone here can throw at me. 

The energy I've encountered here today is really vile. It has gone from inappropriate to cruel and I feel sick about it.

(I had a healing crisis from Friday through this morning, but as I sit here just in the past 15 minutes or so, I have been feeling light and love energy sweep away the debris.)

but it sounds like a great idea and I certainly am going to work on that. Thanks for the idea! 

I am sending you infinite love and gratitude instead.

The business idea is an online woo-woo store for DUmbAsses. It would require a website where they could log on and purchase things like “remote saging ritual” or “white light” or “good (or whatever) energy”. I’m just not sure what other things I should offer OR how much I should charge for each thing. Naturally, I wouldn't want to charge too much since I'd mostly be doing it out of the goodness of my heart. I'd also probably need to put some sort of limits on the requests because I'd be putting serious effort and energy into each request so I could likely only handle several thousand requests per day.

Inappropriate and cruel? DUchebag....open your eyes. You have almost 30,000 posts on a forum where inappropriate and cruel are SOP.

Flippy, are you sure the likely customers for that store haven't passed on to their next, more suitable, incarnation (probably as roaches and leeches)?

5 bucks a pop should do it. 

I miss the old DU too!  You know what I don't see anymore?  Posts lamenting some dem asshole doing stupid or asshole things because "it makes democrats look bad."  Now they just embrace the crazy, no matter what.

 :hi5: and QFT!

The closest DU-Denizens come to such laments if when they acknowledge something was horrible and then claim the perp was a MAGA false-flagger.

I miss the good bouncies they seem to have lost their skills for doing that. Now all we get is rock head PC intern and can talk bloviating with post. They’re too stupid and too long to read. :thatsright:

I miss CU as well. It was a great site.

Maybe someone with a mall could go over there and tell them to start putting up some better bouncy and something other than hate. They gotta put a little bit of sugar and honey on the heat to make us smile.
