This site is for the lolz and obviously following the style set by the previous mf websites. I find it cathartic to laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation we are in, but also genuinely engage with the neck breaking pace of change we are all having to adjust to.

And the LLM came up with some really funny lines

people were (rightfully) complaining about this kind of humor in 2019

People complain about all things all the time (rightfully) but I'm not gonna complain about your complaints now, I will only add that I sometimes enjoy humor full of "shock" and profanity. Still! , After decades of professionals and non-professionals diluting it. This site was funny. Ymmv
Its a tale as old as time. I am 30 and still love fart jokes but I must accept that some people prefer the boring life and lost all humor.
> lost all humor. not to mention sense of smell
It is as "cathartic" as dropping n words everywhere. N this and that, that n president!

Author has incestual relationship in their family. At least in my country that is highly offensive. For the sake of their possible children / siblinks, I hope they use protection!

> Author has incestual relationship in their family.

Now I want to know in which culture this is used as a common insult.

I'm fairly certain most cultures have common use of incestual insults.

The english "mother fucker" is born of the original taboo of fucking one's mother. The act is seen as bad, so we use the phrase referencing the act as a label for all sorts of bad things. Like, you dropped a book on your foot, and that's as bad as someone who sleeps with their mum, so you say "mother fucker".

Spanish has tu chinga tu madre or just chinga tu madre.

Not sure off the top of my head, but I know there's lots of other cultures that use the same taboo in the same kind of substitional way.

Motherfucker ?
