So the “Suggested Topics” at the bottom of each post has been finding some amazing threads from before my time here. What old threads do y’all have bookmarked or what are some of your favorite old threads?

If you know any tricks and the person who came up with them, or you think you do…post here. I’m interested in tricks tied to an individual that are fact, and not disputed.
