Friends! Fellow jerks! Brethren! Non-crocheters! Crocheters, too, I GUESS!
I'd like to enlist your help and ideas for something dumb I want to do with r/fiberartscirclejerk:
I want to create a few surrealist/unhelpful/jerkescent "twistfaq"-style automod circlejerk replies to comments that contain certain phrases.
The goal is maximum hilarity, making reddit robots do our bidding, and making newcomers feel mildly freaked out about getting comment reply notifications, while also poking fun at the mass outrage that r/knitting's twistfaq bot sparks every three-point-five weeks.
The automod replies could be almost anything text- or link-based (no images since our continued status as a NSFW sub precludes images/gifs directly in comments). Possibilities include:
- Links to existing FACJ posts (like twistfaq links to another post about twisted bitches)
- Wiki entries (which we have none of but I'm happy to create them for the joke)
- Other sites/videos (within reason -- along the lines of rickrolling or sending people to the CYC sign-up page, etc.)
- Memes/images (hosted through imgur)
Phrases that have crossed my mind to summon these types of replies include:
- "Pattern??????" (could trigger a LMGTFY link?)
- "Chickenbear" or "extra parts" (could invite a link to a terrible pattern for a stuffed bear?)
- "Crotchet" (could garner a link to r/fuckcrochet)
I'm definitely going to make one that hijacks the original twistfaq to serve my evil desires, but that's a surprise.
Tell me your thoughts and feelings and opinions and what you had for breakfast in the comments!

Agreed. It definitely should be a link to Andrea Mowry’s library on ravelry.
