Quit Your Bullshit!
Rules:
1: Bullshit must actually be called out.
Posts must be a screenshot of a lie/bullshit, and a call-out.
The lie and its direct responding call-out must be included in the screenshot(s) you provide. Context/call-outs in the title or comment section don't count.
Screenshots with overlaid text or other screencaps do not count: use them to call bullshit and screenshot that! Posts without proof will be tagged as such and could be subject to removal by the moderators.
2: Screenshots only. No links, stories, or videos!
Images / Screenshots only. Don't link to the location of the bullshit. No reddit and lemmy links allowed.
Don't link to a news article, or post a text story or a video. Your post must consist of screenshots only -- including the lie/bullshit and the call-out.
3: Remove all personal information -- even your own.
This decreases the likelihood of brigading/harassment and proves that we do everything we can to avoid it.
Basically, don't include a username that can be used to locate the bullshitter.
This means the reddit username, lemmy username, facebook name, twitter handle, and all other forms of identifying info (including your own username!) must be blocked. Posting user information in the comments circumvents this rule and will result in a ban.
4: Don't call bullshit on Trolls/Jokes/Memes/Bots/Honest Mistakes
Deliberate trolls or jokes don't belong here. This includes content from meme/joke communites -- jokes are made to be shared.
Posts involving honest mistakes don't belong here. Sometimes, people are wrong. Sometimes, users are mistaken or mislead. Being wrong isn't bullshit. Being a hypocrite isn't bullshit. It happens.
Calling out repost bots can also fall under this rule.
5: Political content is not allowed.
We don't want to push any political agenda. We don't support one side or the other -- we're simply observers. Basically, any content taken from a political subreddit or mentioning politicians will be removed. For political discussion head over to /c/Politics
Current news events may fall under this rule. Mods discretion.
If your post falls into a grey area, don't be afraid to message us before posting!
6: Stay civil. No hate speech or slurs!
Remember the human. Keep it civil. Don't use racial slurs or homophobic language.
7: Don't link to the bullshit, the bullshitter, or any covered info.
Don't name the bullshitter in the comments, or link directly to the bullshit involved. Similarly, don't request personal info/usernames that are covered up in the post.
8: Downvote/Harassment-brigading isn't allowed. No witch-hunts.
This subreddit does not allow downvote-brigading, harassment-brigading, or witch-hunting. This behavior will NOT be tolerated, and is the quickest way to net a permanent ban. Always follow Lemmiquette. If a post generates a downvote brigade, it will be removed even if it doesn't violate the other rules. We are merely observers.
9: Common Repost.
Posts in the Common Reposts Folder are not allowed to be reposted.
If the bullshit you're posting isn't in the folder, it's up to the moderators to determine if a repeated post is "common" or not.
If you repost old content with an identical title, we'll assume you're a bot and give you a permanent ban.
10: Recent Repost.
Please, check if your post has already been posted recently before submitting. Also, no reposts of Top/Popular posts!

When BBT came out a lot of people said I'd enjoy it, because "haha nerdy science humor haha". I watched an episode and genuinely hated it—just more unfunny, one dimensional, Chuck Lorre dog shit.
I think I've been in the presence of maybe two or three other episodes since. They were also unfunny dog shit.
BBT, Friends, Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother. I don't understand what people like about these shows. To each their own, I suppose.
Scrubs seems unlike the others
I tried to rewatch it recently and the first season has not aged well. I don't know how much of that was the Chuck Lorre influence, but it was tough to watch. I remember the show being incredible, so it must have been later on when they found their own voice.
Yeah, Scrubs is genuinely brilliant for the first couple of seasons at least
It is nothing more than jokes at the expense of nerd culture, not jokes that appeal to nerd culture. When people tell me I would like it, that is what I tell them.
I compare it to Community. Community is a smart show about "dumb" people, while BBT is a dumb show about "smart" people.
Its tough to make a show thats acceptable for tv at an hour when Grandma, the parents and 3 kids 13 through 4 can all be in the room and nobody wil insist it be turned off.
Its like McDonalds, they dont care how many people LOVE it, its how many people find it acceptable.
