We still need a fan wiki.

Just the endless possibilities if you just set random poster on ignore and then try to read the thread. Every combination results in a completely different form of gibberish and nonsense - fascinating!

Well, this could work.
But I have similar experience without any ignores,
every time I re read this thread new ideas and conclusions are superseding the ones from previous cycle.

Didn't know this one - or just don't remember.
I read Sci-fi books in "wholesale" amounts when I was between 12 and 16 yo, I don't remember a lot of titles.
Thanks for the tip, noted:

I'll be honest, this was just a pun. Previous post mentioned the Mandela effect, and the narrator in TFW is called Mandella.

That said, this one sits comfortably in my "best ever" list of books, and not just sci-fi. At its core, it's an author who wanted to talk about Vietnam and the alienation of the conscripts. But while it does it do that, the sci-fi setting is a lot more than a coating and feels a lot more genuine than many others. Distances, time, heat dispersion, it's all in there.

I wanna let an AI chatbot loose on this thread as it's only source of human communication and see what it comes up with.

What makes you sure I am not such bot?
I'm odd enough occasionally.
Doesn't my dictionary resource seem excessive considering some basic mistakes in sentences composing?
Doesn't it strike like a well invested AI project, in initial phase of self development?

Oh that's totally normal.
At about 1000 posts we reached the critical mass and this thread began to disfigure the space time continuum.

This resulted in a number of interesting effects. For instance we had up to three timelines simultaneous answering to questions on different pages.

Or as you describe, different realities of this thread overlap and form new, absolutely random pocket threads which last only for a couple of reads.

I am definitely fictional

Yes, I have decided a long ago my life must by some kind of comedy,
a bit surreal, a bit absurd,
and I am this cliche idiot character
that manages to make it to another episode only because viewers find his ignorance amusing
so screenwriters are forced to invent some background plot twist,
that will get him out of troubles he manages to get himself into,
because this is what a main comedy character usually does naturally.

I, personally, am a fictional character that accidentally ended up in a non-fiction world... I blame librarians

Welcome to the club. When I say club, I mean it very loosely, but you certainly fit in in this thread!
