Jaboody Dubs ~ Jahdooby Buds. Elegantly balancing subtle tapping into the social trend and preservation of purpose to promote the pastime --or in this case commercially attractive-- satirical dubbing. How is this awesome?
    It recycles low-grade advertisement into objectively fine entertainment. Nuff said.
    But also, as long as the crew behind it maintains an attractive image, which it has, it renders the quality of intelligently maximizing awesomeness by attempting to adhere optimally to making the best of one's limited resources.. attractive.

I for one have never encountered an advocate for the assumption that the 420 hype (a very broad entity - not limited to dates or times) is in any way to be associated with individuality. It appears to be exclusively tailored to promote multiplicity. Multiplicity of though, identity, people, social interaction and activity. Furthermore, when anthropomorphized, it becomes clear that it wants to stay a minor part of life. Meaning a life of non-stop exposure to the hype ought not to be anyone's idea of ideal.
This duality (have full-blown multiplicity-advocating 420 hype in your life once in a while ~ but don't allocate too high a percentage of your cognitive workforce to prioritizing the directive of salvaging awesomeness from it) is where most manifestations of the social trend fail to establish a constructive balance.

Jaboody Dubs has next to none of the tiring multiplicity and all of the efficient salvaging. Honestly, I didn't even think to associate JD with the topic of this thread, before the formulation of the previous post subconsciously made the connection click. Hinting at the relevance potential of referencing it in a subsequent post (this one), the eventuality of which my conscious self gradually opened up to, now culminating in the urge to link a video.

As good a time as any to address replacements.
As previously stated, the phenomenon has solidified its expansion quite proficiently. That means that simply erasing it from the collective memory would be a feeble and foolish attempt. Instead, let's contemplate the redress of its momentum and evolution by simply replacing the redundant source, and imagining what would be truly fit and deserving of a "holiday", as DarkPlasmaBall put it.

Voluminous post ETA 4 hours 20 minutes.

This thread is a trainwreck, only the trains were filled entirely with fireworks, thesauri and really bad philosophy textbooks.

I'm not quite sure what the topic is, but I don't suspect reading it while high will help me give any valuable input. Indeed, I'm not sure if this thread could even receive "valuable" input at all.

That's up to each and all of you, though. Maybe stop trolling and get to it.
Edit:
The Volluminati is an order of teamliquid forumites, who pledge to abide by the directive of never compromising the wisdom of using all the linguistic means necessary and at one's disposal (and tolerated by the administration of the site), & strive for the best possible dealing with regard to communication of high-volume social trend nugget refinement innovation --in this case relevant to the particular social behavior virus of 420 "culture"-- thus preserving the pristine quality of debate-worthiness rooted in objective awe(someness)rcheology, as opposed to not, as long as there's an OP in place which serves as a lighthouse; preventing non---insert-- contributors --the only kind that matters-- to succumb to obfuscation.

Elementary Repacement Building Blocks
    Math
      420 is a nice-looking number. 4.. 2.. 0. A beautifully brief countdown. 4 divided by 20 is 0.2, that's 20 backwards with a dot in the middle. 20/4 is 5, i.e. for 4 to become 5, i.e. gain a unit --of which it already has 4-- it needs to do the work of dividing 20 units. A lovely definition of what a numeric unit is, and how to approach playfully defining/setting the stage for explaining to a machine intelligence how addition works.
      Back to 0.2 - appending the missing digit one gets 0.24, the complete backward number, polar this time - due the dot locus shift skewing the symmetry. Don't add the missing digit, i.e. stay with 0.2, but multiply by the missing digit; you'll get the missing digit appended to the equal sign, like magic. Multiply 0.2 by the missing digit + 1
      • disregarding conventional operation prioritization you'll get 1
      • abiding by it, you'll get an ugly-looking number.. choose!

    Physical activity in conjuncture with a limited time frame
      Let's take 4 minutes and 20 seconds. How can you fill it out most amazingly? Can you run really fast for that long? You should aspire to.

    Honorary distinguishing of a date or frequency & specific # of a repetition, like a forum post #
      helps with nuance, can create anticipation or entice effort or extra consideration, etc., all to relieve the human mind of the entropy inherent in superficial facets of repetition.
      To reference the lighthouse metaphor, a gyrating lighthouse is better, somehow, than a static one.

    Hype
      designed to lubricate the congregation around a social activity imbued with preservation-worthy aspects of social trend phenomenon manifestation
        Optimal hype changes shape, glows in many shades. Fills out the medium like liquid does a recipient. Stays fresh and appealing. Cool. Stays true to + Show Spoiler [godlogic] +
        [image loading]
        and what the superlative 420 hype -refining forumite Lang Buddha might call winning by natural law.

I've read scientific papers that were less needlessly verbose than the OP's posts in this thread. On topic, the whole point of 420 was advocacy for those unjustly imprisoned or otherwise punished by law enforcement for participating in activities that should not be criminal. In Colorado, post-legalization, there has been a marked drawing down of the events statewide. There's just no need for them anymore.

I consider myself a competent attorney, judge and jury for social trend evaluation, & aspiring executioner and mourner of minus-variant termination. The hyping up of smoking weed --despite its stupidity-- yielded good things too, and today I mourn them.

I did try. What I gleaned from the post, Race Bannon, specifically the OP, was something like extreme, personal, and unnecessary judgment. It's just marijuana. To be honest, I think the troll responses are kind of appropriate.

But since this is the only thread on the topic, Happy Marijuana Day.

I am mashing refresh on this thread. The amount of patience needed to parse even a single sentence of anything OP writes is massive. It's like bench pressing with your brain.

Cute anecdote about your first point: my friend was working on a mathematics journal paper and his supervisor told him, after reading the first draft, to remember that the point of a research paper was to convey information, not to sound smart. It's something of a virtue in some areas of research to try make your papers as readable as possible (especially if it is a field that gets caught up in lots of interdisciplinary stuff). Sadly our dearest OP does not seem to come from such a culture

Also I'm borderline terrified at the idea that an even bigger wall of pure obfuscation is going to grace us soon, I don't know if I have the strength of will to look away at this point.

I, too, am excited for the incoming voluminosity.

In fact, I hear that Race Bannon is the leader of a secret, underground cult that is slowly taking over the world with its use of large words.

"Sssenpai" my voice quivered. Race Bannon's powerful typist hands holding firmly, but gently onto my precious 90th anniversary edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. His fingers of superb litigation ruffling the corners of the as-of-yet unopened tome. His perceptive eyes, capable of catching even a single mischievous typographic error, lifted themselves from the cover of the book and met with mine. Then, suddenly, unexpectedly, he opened the pages wide, paying little mind to my sharp inhalation.

"Today's word..." he paused briefly, allowing the tension in me to build up, "... is Voluminous".

I could but gasp. It was so big, even on its own. But his demonstration of the word is what I could truly never have been ready for. Nails digging into my thighs, I tried to contain myself as his magnum opus unfolded before me, every sentence longer and more impactful than the last. The thrust of the piece was lost in my soft and yielding mind, and I succumbed to its brilliance.

EDIT:
More to come if the voluminous post does not disappoint

Hilarious, Ciaus_Dronu. I'm begging for the voluminous post to become reality, mostly because I want to read the continuation of your story.

Ciaus_Dronu, I hope you're writing professionally already, because you should. I hope there's books in the making!

Thank-you! I really appreciate that ^^
I dabble a bit, but I definitely want to try write more in future. Mostly parody stuff and diary entries at this point.

This reminds me of the time some guy I can't remember the name of, something like mork-Warding, ran around TL with a dada engine and wrote complete gobbledygook, and the TL writers and wannabe writers were very enamoured of him. It's a shame he left when someone posted the exact dada engine he was using. It was a very good way to see who had a good command of English and logical thinking and who didn't.

This guy by comparison is just using a thesaurus.

Edit: Just read Ciaus_Dronu post. Now that's a well written piece.

Yeah, that's the name. Moltkewarding. He is probably on some other website, where he can feel good about himself because they haven't twigged on to his usage of a dada engine.

I'm either lacking in the sufficient intelligence to uncover the profound wisdom and insight contained within these posts, or need better drugs to comprehend them. Maybe they're just spat out by a word generator. Anyways happy 420 even though I abhor the devil's lettuce.

It's with the great thankfully pleasure I'm glad accepting this lovely thread. Yours way that you brought up the subject is intriguing when others do not that way so it's good that you dare. One way that it shall be so taboo in today's pop culture regarding marijuana and other narcotics that may or may not be pharmaceutic in the legal sense is who we decide to be and portray as a society. You often hear that not only is it good for your bones to drink milk, but what about the greenery? It's a strong relationship between the two different mindsets that I feel unnecessarily clash in the modern debate regarding the material used for things like currency and other paper material like rolling paper for weedarettes. It should be noted however that ones mind does not fully transform to the body's inheritance without fully going deep into ones psychological understanding of the subject in hand. You may have read the paper from the Norwegian government in the 1990's about the neural network connection between drugs and mankind. It's fully possible that you are not the only one being you thanks to amount of people consuming marijuana today.

Now, you may say "But what about the blue whales?". Sure, they have been without us for millions of years but it shouldn't be taken for granted with the way people pollute the air and waters today. Ones journey begin at Stage 1 and by Stage 3 you are at the half-point of your life. Are you satisfied with whom you been at it that you shouldn't go for more health? Many say no at Stage 3 - but without taking strides for the future Stages of the life form. The blue whales only have two Stages which enables them to be at peace with their life form without marijuana and modern brain confusers of man. Is this what you had in mind too because I feel strongly that the blue whales are the modern man of waters but without the limbs to crawl - just like how the modern day consumers crawl into the abyss until it's too late to return back to the non-psychological mind that one created for themselves.

Thanks again for a daring and interesting thread.
