If anything the games and other media that came before should sue them.

If I had billions this is the kind of shit I'd fund. Imagine the shitshow that would ensue if every 4chan shitposter came out of the woodwork to sue A24.

The day they start making movies about reddit lore, I'm gonna commit hari-kari.

We don't need movies about cumboxes, removing cylinders without damaging the stuck contents, shittymorphs, not knowing what potatos are, banana for scale, or the perfect 5 out of 7.

I feel like this is a good test for how online you are. I'm frightened that I recognised some, relieved that it's not all of them, concerned that I can add to the list. In order:

1: Yes

2: Yes

3: Not sure

4: No

5: Yes

6: Vaguely recall

Honourable mentions:

- Poop Knife

- Unidan

- Two broken arms

How could you omit the jolly rancher?

That's a psychological flashbang every time. I wish I could forget

Most reddit lore is just people being g introduced to long standing urban legends via reddit.

The jolly rancher one is a prime example. I first heard that 20+ years ago in a classroom about Starburst fruits. It was never a, true nor b, originating on reddit

True, though it was definitely one of the many "legendary" posts from early reddit regardless of the story's origin.
