Thank you for this labor of love
Welcome!
What about the poop knife story?
Damn, good call. I’ll grab that one.
Doing the Lord’s work here.
This is awesome. I was so worried about losing some classics like these.
Ah, so many… gems in this list. Best of luck! I’d help more than an upvote, but I’m somewhat new-ish to Reddit, only joined in 2020.
Thank you!
There’s a few where the classic post is a reply. I’m not sure what the best way to format those would be but it would be great to have them be consistent. So here’s an example, though the joke has been done to death, the orginal should be archived.

- Topic: You can have sex with one real person from all of human history - who is your ultimate lay?
phil8248 (17.9k points): I'd like to have sex one more time with my wife who passed away from cancer 9 years ago. My body yearns for hers. The ultimate downside to finding "the one" is she may die young and leave you wanting. somethingobscur (27.7k points): I also choose this guy's dead wife.I like it.
Oh my gosh, I love this! Are you taking suggestions? I am not sure what the post title was so I am not positive you don’t have it on here already, but 10/10 with rice.
Suggestions are great and appreciated. I’ll check out 10/10 with rice.
Thank you!!

Got them, thank you! I’d never seen the music during sex one and it destroyed me. It just got weirder and weirder.
Nothing about lake city quiet pills?
Man, it’d be a shame not to have that saved somewhere. I’m not sure how to archive it, like in what format.
Can we also get an archive of amazing posts? The one post about grief from U/GSnow comes to mind. Here’s a link to the post
Absolutely. That was a great read btw.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. :)
Incredible collection! Makes me want to dig into “saved” bank to see if I have anything similar.
Thank you for being an excellent internet historian / steward of internet history. Any thoughts on saving this content outside of reddit? Either on an image based platform or something else?
Thank you!
I think an image platform would be best for longevity’s sake. I’ve leaned toward the Lemmy-localized text/quotations format over the images format to try and keep things as screen reader accessible as possible. For all I know the software may have advanced to the point that it can parse text in images, it’s just an old habit and I guess they do die hard.
I’d still like to go back and take screenshots to attach to the relevant text posts, I think, as well as getting some of the sagas under “honorary mentions” archived as images (I’m not seeing another way to do it for a lot of them; they’re mostly comment chains scattered pretty wildly that need a lot of context to make sense of).
Anyway I’m rambling. Thanks again, and hope you got a kick out of reading some of the classics!
Edit: If you find anything in your “saved” bank I’d love to give it a read.
Another thing to consider: Any time u/shittymorph posted about the “Undertaker throwing mankind…”
