On this week this niche leftist forum was first launched (its was the 24th or 25th i think) Formed from the Chapotraphouse subreddit remnants that survived the reddit ban over the calls of violence against confederate slave owners, the first admins decided to use Lemmy as its base. Originally called Chapo.chat (ChaCha) Hexbear has grown into one of the biggest instances in the lemmyverse.
In this last 5 years hexbear has survived many diffent events from numerous struggle sessions, mod clique-users conflicts, wrecker incursions from other instances and sites, this image 
, a decent amount of fedidrama with other instances and the domain crisis, we still thrive with over 5 million comments and 375k posts.
I still continue my dictatorial rule over the general megathread for now over 4 years now, this time locked in the chapo comm so it can be more easily moderated, c/indigenous has now grown to 750 subs which im very happy plus now i take care of the empoc mega which has been pretty chill so far.
I still really enjoy the fedidrama, it fun to see all the fedilibs always thinking about hexbear despide the fact that they are on defederated instances and they can ust ignore us, we live rent free on their minds
Have all you nerds a good week, Read Absolute Batman, its good

what are the most hot couch guy bands? i think tool is pretty high on the list
I feel Limp Bizkit
The quintessential hot couch guy band.
โThat he said she said bullshitโ is a hot couch phrase
Sublime is the the most. Wu Tang is up there. Tool for sure has a lot of hot couch guy fans.
Red hot chili peppers!
i googled hot couch guy bands and found a cool loungey band called 'couch' but not your reference.... wdym?
it's from this; hot couch guys are basically a specific type of trashy burnout guy who lives in a dumpy house/apartment where the couch is always warm for no discernible reason
I am ๐ฏ a hot couch guy.
Lmao okay I just listened to that and I totally had a hot couch guy friend in highschool. His nickname was Bacon, of course. We would watch CKY, Jackass and Haggard on repeat and would play Halo the rest of the time. High as balls, of course
dudes rock
Oh shit! Stav mentions it in the clip, Eminem! Eminem might be more Hot Couch than even Sublime.
๐
listening to eminem makes me feel like i'm drinking a mountain dew that's not quite cold and also has a whiff of spoiled food on the can because it was stored in a fridge that's in its twilight years
For a while i lived with a bunch of pop punk guys cause my friend moved in with his gf a few months ths after I moved in, so I was the very crust guy in the pop punk house. So id add most Epitaph/Fat Wreck bands. They were hot couch as fuck. I was also doing a shitload of speed at the time so I kept it tidy
the couch may be hot, but it stays clean
I kept to my own couch in my own room mostly. But the kitchen was kept good. There was a dishwasher in the place and stuff still got left in the sink to rot
thanks, that was funny!
