post itt when somebody does something

it happens at least a few times a week. for example,

Somebody's mom painted a bird and now Reddit is stuck in an endless painting loop

Somebody translated fussy Wikipedia edits into soothing ambient music

Found some new pockets in my coat

i haven't read those links in the OP btw

i just know that they involve "somebody"

Thread needs a rule excluding Florida Man and Florida Woman

Those two are always doin’ stuff

they're not somebody though

I always got told to watch out for people that like their bananas a bit green!

In the last decades interest in hunger artists has declined considerably. Whereas in earlier days there was good money to be earned putting on major productions of this sort under one’s own management, nowadays that is totally impossible. Those were different times. Back then the hunger artist captured the attention of the entire city. From day to day while the fasting lasted, participation increased. Everyone wanted to see the hunger artist at least daily. During the final days there were people with subscription tickets who sat all day in front of the small barred cage. And there were even viewing hours at night, their impact heightened by torchlight. On fine days the cage was dragged out into the open air, and then the hunger artist was put on display particularly for the children. While for grown-ups the hunger artist was often merely a joke, something they participated in because it was fashionable, the children looked on amazed, their mouths open, holding each other’s hands for safety, as he sat there on scattered straw—spurning a chair—in a black tights, looking pale, with his ribs sticking out prominently, sometimes nodding politely, answering questions with a forced smile, even sticking his arm out through the bars to let people feel how emaciated he was, but then completely sinking back into himself, so that he paid no attention to anything, not even to what was so important to him, the striking of the clock, which was the single furnishing in the cage, merely looking out in front of him with his eyes almost shut and now and then sipping from a tiny glass of water to moisten his lips.

Someone's recreated Zelda: A Link to the Past's map in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

the video game world seems particularly susceptible to this. it's kind a unique culture or form of entertainment where it's very normal for total randos to do something cool, and there's very little or 0% chance that you'll ever hear from them again. so they get demoted to "someone"

someone is awesome

oh you mean, when they did something?

yeah, i love some their stuff

I always feel like
Somebody's doing something
And i have no privacy

Doing something in animal crossing is not doing something

I am that person! Thanks for the share : )

bad revive, sorry. for it to truly be "somebody" doing "something", it has to be at least somewhat bothersome to actually track down the person who did it. in this case, though, the link to the instagram was in the original tweet. still, it's close, and i didn't want to post another kotaku story about someone who did something, because they write those all the time

Cute

so there's a guy on youtube who made a trilogy of three hour long star trek videos, voiced entirely by himself, and they all feature holodeck scenes in his meticulous recreations of price is right sets pic.twitter.com/iFT4vxhsfI

the lengths this twitter dude goes to in order to avoid saying who actually made it. these videos are amazing, and the guy who made them has like 68 followers! yet this guy makes his own video rip from the youtubes just so he can avoid linking to the real thing. (i think? i think like 5 posts down, or in the comments, he finally links to one of them)

That is really incredible

ok, i guess he posted the youtube link in his next comment, siiiiigh

it's just like, the "engagement" on twitter is much higher for the cool post getting retweeted a lot than it is for the comment below it with some clue to the person who made the thing

in this case, "somebody" is "us", which means "a Twitter user by the username @MissSnizabelle"

Did any media outlet ever do a follow-up on the $120K-banana-duct-taped-to-a-wall story? Seems like an idea that's ripe for the picking.
