Occasionally I get zaps on old posts and I don't think much of it because I assume it is due to the algo recommending my old posts underneath current posts.

Occasionally I get zaps on old comments and I don't think much of it because I assume it is just people scrolling through comments of old posts recommended by the algo.

But I just had a zap of an old saloon comment where @carlosfandango and I were discussing the legendary zapper @nemo. Very odd. No one would find this randomly.

Likely something that was bookmarked by someone or could it be paranemo activity?

Show yourself fish!

I kinda treat n3m0 like the fight club of stacker news. First rule: don't talk about it (them). Deleted all items, and disappeared into the world of anon, so I try to respect them by not directly discussing them. This is how folklore begins! :)

If I say Nemo 3 times in the mirror will my bathroom suddenly becoming a swimming pool?

Try it and report back! I haven’t heard of anyone trying it and it didn’t happen

If I lose my cowboy hat you know what happened to me.

I've also zapped you today on your Bitcoin story. That was not paranemo, instead it should be hailed as normal @siggy47 newsletter effect. Haha!

I also get such sudden zaps. I didn't know that it might be due to some invisible man who just lurks on every comment and post!!

Thanks for the information!!

Thanks for the zap on my Bitcoin story.

Yes it is normal to get zaps on old posts as people find them but it is quite odd to get a zap on a saloon comment from 10 months ago.

You might be right about the invisible man. Hence my question of paranemo activity.

You weren't around at the time but @nemo used to be the biggest zapper on SN.

The artist formerly know as eksyzis or something like that also had a propensity to dart around mysteriously before assuming a more human form. The genuine entity and/or alter egos may also be involved.

reply

Did you spell that right?

I still don't know.

Haha.

reply

I'm fairly sure I didn't.

reply

I think you might have. Undisciplined and I had a whole thread of comments one day about all the ways we misspelled his name.

reply

Maybe that's why he goes by ek now? I also have a hard time remembering to spell it correctly.

Ooh I like that. Paranemo activity.

reply

Anything odd that happens on SN will henceforth be known as a Paranemo occurrence.

I remember how we all discussed about @nemo in Million Sat days. Those discussions and now your post, I can sense a @nemo may be just here. It's just that we aren't so capable to guess who he is!

reply

How good you are at phrasing new words! @nemo must have been the wonder boy of SN. Lot of talk here!

reply

haha
I have been going through old posts when I have time.
Not saying it was me who zap the old saloon comment, but I remember I hit some of your old post last night! :)

reply

I appreciate the zaps.

I found it in the related posts section

Where is nemo? He deleted his history

reply

No one knows where Nemo is or isn’t. Some say he still lurks on SN. Maybe it is just an SN urban legend.

reply

It has happened to me, that sometimes I notice that a specific stacker reviews my profile and zaps me a lot, it is good to see that.

reply

LOL 🤣

reply

Sometimes people review at a specific stacker's posts and comments and zap accordingly.

Paranormal or nemo
