1 cup boiling water (or hot coffee if you want it to taste like a real cake)
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9" round pans.
Whisk the dry stuff together in a big bowl.
Add eggs, milk, oil, vanilla. Beat 2 minutes.
Stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin. This is correct. Do not make a thread about it.
Bake 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 10 min in the pans, then turn out and cool completely.
Frosting:
1/2 cup butter, melted
2/3 cup cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
Stir the cocoa into the melted butter, then alternate adding the powdered sugar and milk, beating until it's spreadable. Add the vanilla. Frost the cake only once it has fully cooled, or you will get a brown puddle and deserve it.

Sneedforo would be a good use of these credits. You could probably make a lot of progress with an agent. The sooner Xenforo can be cut out of the picture, the better.
Side-site like that old browser site The Pokemon Moon RPG where we can grow, level, and fight cow and cow-adjacent pets with no noticeable carryover to the main site.
Add a lolcow trading card game, where you can spend achievement points or something to get cards with different stats. The cow is selected from any thread with at least 10 pages (e.g, name = thread title, HP = page count - 10, AP = amount of reactions on their OP, Level = number of years old their thread is, series = what board they're from)
Best example I could make while taking a shit and using my phone:
Had to cut off the top because it got all fucked up, but obviously it should have the cows' name and the thread subtitle as the monicker, or an AI summary.
Sample random posts from across the forum from the last 12 hours, score them and come up with a global forum angst/autismo/rage ranking, like that gay global consciousness dot project so I can tell how many of the kiwisisters are on the rag or whatever.
Artificial Smartelligence 3000: an agentic system using previous Derek smart posts on forums and his old web content as context. The agentic bot then picks 1 active thread at a time to argue with people about topics Derek Smart would. Limit him to 5 posts in a thread before he moves on, make it like 1 thread a week
Maybe a daily digest kind of feature where the most active, featured, and highlighted threads of the day get a broad summary of recent developments somewhere on the front page. A sort of front page of a newspaper feature to get an idea of events before diving into what interests you. Either one standard universal one for every user and visitor which can direct people to happenings on the site they might not see, or maybe have it be able to filter by user interests, so if you’re a BP gorl or A&H sperg you can tailor it to look at things you care about, though obviously that’d be a lot more resource intensive. Maybe as a perk for premium users?
Make it discriminating though, if there’s a topic I’m interested in but it’s 1500 posts sperging out about nothing, speculating baselessly, and infighting I’d want the summary scathingly clear about it.
Real-name (aka dead name) database and web-addon that changes all tranny names to their real name when you come across them on the web or in news articles, example, every news puff piece for Ellen Page uses her real name and not "Elliot".
