mildly unpleasant phenomenon where one extremely keen #pastagang member speaks to another extremely keen #pastagang member as if they're a complete #pastagang beginner
haven't you internalised and memorized the entire flowchart, n00b? don't you know that so-and-so was there at the birth of the pastaflip? don't you know that this person was actually the person who deleted highnudel? don't you know Gabe Newell?

@TodePond I had to come and see if you'd given more detail in case this was something I'd inadvertently done (I'm renowned for being "patronising" when in fact I'm just a bit socially inept). Looks like a nope.

Anyway, I feel like pastagang is timeless, or should be - in other words, if you can join it just by knowing about it (which is often the case) who gives a fuck about where it came from and what pastagang did in the past?

@janeishly @TodePond but not everything done by someone who is a member of pastagang is being done as a member of pastagang.
@janeishly of course we care about giving credit to people and not stealing credit that isn't ours
