Welcome to TIFU.

This community will stand as a tribute to the fuck up in all of us. We all do something stupid from time to time, this is your place to share and laugh about it with folks on the internet!

Da Rules:

  1. Use proper formatting

A. All titles must start with TIFU.

B. All posts must have a TL;DR at the end. Some of us are too lazy to read your story, sorry.

C. Use the NFSW Tag, if a Post isn't Appropriate in General but still follows the rules. (Sex stories and etc.)

  1. Posts must be about you.

  2. Must be your fault.

  3. A few things that aren't allowed.

A. No Rape​/​minors/​bestiality. No death of animals. No glorification of major crimes.

B. Illegal activities that you glorify or giving advice on how to do something illegal.

  1. Must be actual fuckups No humblebrags or stories that have zero consequences and don't go anywhere. Eg "TIFU by sexy sex". Moderator discretion.

  2. Be civil and don't be disruptive No racism/​bigotry/​homophobia/​transphobia. No personal attacks on other users, no name-calling. No low-effort "this didn't happen" type comments.

  3. No Self Promotion No making posts with the express purpose of promoting your business/video game/porn career. Even if not mentioned within the text of the post, alluding to links on your profile is not allowed. This covers implying you will set up a stream/public link/onlyfans in the future, having set up one in the past, or anything along the lines of "upvote this comment if you want me to do this." These examples are by no means comprehensive, just don't self promote.

  4. Mod Discretion Mods have the right to supersede any rule and make removals as we see fit, which may or may not be the rules listed in this community.

Two minutes ago, I decided to clean up the post-Reddit mess on my phone.

I uninstalled RIF, because I use Wefwef now.

I uninstalled kbin, because I use Wefwef now.

Lots of icons disappeared from my launcher. Oops.

In my haste, I failed to notice that kbin is not an app, but actually a browser app like Wefwef. So I did not uninstall kbin - in fact I uninstalled Firefox! And with that, I lost all my launcher shortcuts, all my open tabs, and all my browser apps ( including kbin but also including Wefwef).

I really don't know all the stuff I lost that way but hey, if. I don't miss it then maybe that's okay?

The name is so off-putting.

edit:
I'm one of the more whimsical dudes I know and I don't mind disagreement so I'm pretty open to whatever - but please tell me why jubjub.wingdang is something you want to see several hundred times a day.

Am I missing something? Does wefwef actually mean something, or is it just typical techbrand nonsense? We have gone PAST Idiocracy at this point.

For some background... I'm a grumpy fucker. wefwef can do better. This is an interview about how the brands in Idiocracy were designed.

I'm sick and tired of bullshit neosyllabic names that a baby would make:

  • Goo-gle
  • Et-sy
  • Zyn-ga
  • Kag-gle
  • Hu-lu
  • Ven-mo
  • Ya-hoo

I don't want to "eeh-ohh" or "lee" your goddamn name:

  • Branch.eeo
  • Keen.eeo
  • Card.eeo
  • Cook.eeo
  • Fluent.eeo
  • Parse.lee
  • Visual.lee

Dropped vowels are equally annoying to me:

  • Flickr
  • Tumblr
  • Grindr
  • Scribd

I feel your pain friend.

A little off topic, but I was also a RiF user and wanted a rif like experience for a lemmy. So far I've tried Jerboa for Lemmy (don't really like that one) and wefwef (it's OK, but not RiF like). I've started using Connect for Lemmy and when you change the settings to reverse list view, it's very similar to RiF. Might be worth checking out.
