Have you visited boing boing in the last few years? It’s literal cancer.


I used to visit it regularly until about a decade ago, but I felt too many of the posts were unnecessarily getting too political.


I just checked out their website. It looks vastly different. It used to be mostly technical posts, and the logo even had a girl in overalls turning a wrench.

The types of posts look like it has greatly changed over the years. I'm curious as to why I was downvoted. I understand why the other person was downvoted ("literal cancer"). Oh well.


When I visited it last time, they tried to sell me a 100 dollar virus scanner app for my iPhone [1] so yeah I wasn’t exaggerating much. I’d much rather have Hodgkins Lymphoma than that site lol.

wtf is wrong with you. Do you know anyone with literal cancer? Use different words.


Language evolves. Literal clearly doesn’t just mean what literal literally meant a few decades back. It’s especially poetic when you’re using it in jest. Get over it?

Also who doesn’t know someone with cancer? 1 in 3 dies of it. Except for kids dying of brain cancer I don’t see what’s especially horrendous about it. As a matter of fact I’d much rather die of cancer than a brain aneurysm. Give me time to set my things in order?
