Anyone else sick of seeing threads start with "anyone else"?

[Sulfate]

I see threads start or contain the word "anyone" or "anyone else" so much when lurking that it doesn't mean anything in my head anymore.
I'm guilty of it, too, so I'm calling myself out here, but I blame subconscious herd mentality.
Maybe I'm batshit insane. Willing to accept that, too.

I personally don't mind them, but I totally get it. Those titles get repetitive to read, but they're not usually a deterrent from the thread for me. I usually just pay attention to the subject matter. They'll still lead to some pretty good discussions. People will share their experiences and opinions or whatever regardless.
Plus, on the bright side, they seem to be much less prevalent than:
"I'm (nationality/occupation) and can confirm this is 100% accurate"
"This lives in my head rent free"
"First."
"Sweet Home Alabama intensifies"
So be thankful for that

I think all Agora users are very similar, but outside of this forum are a bit detached from most people. We come here partly to see that there's other people we can relate to, which is why our favourite question is "Is anyone else like me?" and then we discuss, and have an affirming experience that there are others like ourselves in this world.

You're right, I've grown far too comfortable with the sanctity of this place.

That actually makes a lot of sense.

Anyone else think that we should make every thread start with "anyone else"?

This thread is as low effort as those you mentioned OP, you fruit.
Just because you use a more verbose language to circumvent the repeating phrases used by the offending beneficiaries doesnt mean the crux of your message isnt on the same plane.

Commit an act of extinguising your inner flame to seize up your engine of existence.

>"circumvent" "crux"
Its almost like I phrased my issue in a joking manner because it isn't that serious

Anyone else here?

It's a good way to tell which thread creators are Redditors

is "Is anyone else like me?"

Anyone else's anyone else anyone's else anyone, anyone?

But to answer your Anyone else* question

No it's literally just you. Youre the only one. No one else here thinks, feels, or does what you are doing. Sorry.

Anyone else here loves to eat raw butter?

Anyone else here loves to eat raw butter?

That's insane! People always told me I'm fucking wierd for eating raw butter

I'm saying it non ironically, it really tastes kinda well, and if you add a bit of sugar to unsalted butter, actually makes a tasty dessert.

>inb4 "anyone else in title"

When you're looking for affirmation from others... "Anyone else?"
When you're looking for something missing... "Anyone know of it?"
When you're gauging thoughts and testing ideas... "Any thoughts?"
When you're disapproving of something and want to rally against that thing... "Anyone else think?"
When you're verifying what your senses or pattern detection tells you... "Anyone noticed?"

I blame subconscious herd mentality.

It's not subconscious. In naming a thread, there is a conscious choice to use "Anyone else". In a forum it's hard to get tickers or indicators that you've gone too far often, so you need to ask "anyone else?". It's not like you have a wife who will give you a nudge on the shoulder when you share your thoughts on Germans economic policies 1933-1939, which is apparently an unacceptable topic to talk about during a Christmas meal(this hasn't happened to me, I'm not married).

Besides, there are 2 things that join men together more. Shared interest, and shared enemies. If you lurk enough you get an idea for the shared interests here, and you get an idea for the shared enemies(typically "redditors", and "NPCs"). I don't say enemy in the extreme, absolute sense of destruction, but rather that folks here like to dog pile on them.

Sometimes I feel very smug about having opinions that aren't relatable.
