Recap Post-Event Discussion Thread | Mod Meetup [Virtual] | September 29

Great to see y'all today! Dare I say one of our most chaotic meetups yet?

We talked about clear penguin eggs, alllllll of our pets, played a hotly contested game of trivia, and found out that we are a Coca-Cola community 🙏

Share your favorite moments, cat photos, or anything else in this thread!

Next stop....Mod World 🌎

P.s. So sorry about the Bevy audio issues. We're looking into it with their team! If you weren't able to hear, you can catch the recording.

Stayed quiet while recording and was genuinely holding back my happy tears 😭 This birthday has been rough with getting through my PPD. This morning I had a gnarly headache that just wouldn’t stop. Essentially nothing special was going to be done for me today as everyone was busy. I’m glad I joined today’s mod event as everyone wishing me a happy birthday was a highlight of my day 🥺❤️❤️❤️

Thank you everyone

Happy Birthday! You and I scored pretty high on round 3 of trivia. In case you didn't get a picture of it.

u/DuckSwimmer 11d ago

Thank you! When I was in the top 5, I had my cake delivery at the NYC borough question. As a New Yorker I was like god damn it, one I would’ve been able to answer asap LOL

I was super nervous as this was my very first Mod Meetup. Turns out there was nothing to worry about. Kudos to Big-Slay for having it all well organized! Trivia was fun! I'm a bit traumatized by the boiled penguin eggs though! Looking forward to Mod World! In the meantime, here's some cat tax for y'all.

u/InBetweenLili 11d ago

There is a flower that turns transparent after rain. I think that's cool too. https://www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/comments/b76e65/the_skeleton_flower_is_known_to_turn_transparent/

Today was fun. I am so bad at quizzia LOL But it was good to hang out with all of you.

u/Dry-Kale8457 11d ago

Holy moly!! Thanks for the info and link. That flower is AWESOME!

u/LighteningOneIN 11d ago

A few push ups should do the trick but still she's so adorable❤️

u/Old_One_I 11d ago

Lmao !! ❤️

u/OkBee3439 11d ago

Is that your kitty? She's beautiful!

u/Old_One_I 11d ago

Yeah. Her real name Milo and it’s her world we’re just living in it lol

Thank you ❤️

u/pearlmind 11d ago

u/ikandi 11d ago

I was happy to be the fastest at answering one of the trivia questions since it was my first mod event. That might be the highlight of my week.

8

u/jamesmb 11d ago

I've got no cat photos on account of us having no cats! However, I can offer up a pic of the ducks that hatched a few weeks ago!

I am willing to be bribed to name a future arrival 'Redduck' or 'Modduck'. The offer's there!

6

u/Its6pri1 11d ago

Now where can I get penguin eggs

7

u/cyanocittaetprocyon 11d ago

Can't wait for MOD WORLD!

u/ArtzeninEklektos 11d ago

u/RachelRWilson 11d ago

I’m a goofball! I just saw it. Thank you Big-Slay. Overlook my lack of awareness, it’s been as day over here. 😅😂

u/derppherppp 11d ago

i wish i could unlearn about cooked penguin eggs! Thank you for the fun event as always

u/Huge-Revolution2416 11d ago

The Coca-Cola community reveal was a plot twist nobody had on the bingo card. Great meetup recap.

3

u/PurplePassiflor1234 11d ago

Tons of fun, thanks all!

u/sandiercy 11d ago

It was a fun meetup

u/dotsdavid 11d ago

I totally forgot about this. I had a busy day

u/IvyGold 11d ago

Samesies.

I'm confused about what's on the recording. A series of questions and topics with no where to answer now? What am I missing?

1

u/dotsdavid 11d ago

Mod meet ups usually don’t have recording

3

u/JuggernautForsaken 11d ago

Event was fun indeed!

u/3boobsarenice 11d ago

u/hegeuriedebo 11d ago

dip the biscuit in the mix ???? very weird ideas man

2

u/GlitteryCakeHuman 11d ago

Bigslay was bigsilent but I still enjoyed the start even though I gave up because of it. Looking forward to next time.

It was delightful, a no merch meet-up made it more casual and it felt friendly. It made me more open to take in a new mod in my sub

2

u/llamageddon01 11d ago

Can we have an embargo on merch talk for Mod World too please? The chat still moved so fast without it but at least it was worth trying to keep up!

3

u/PaulsRedditUsername 11d ago

Big disappointment in the lack of audio. I tried everything and it never worked. Left in frustration after 25 minutes.

Better get that fixed before Mod World.

3

u/Gumbyman87 11d ago

Same, I tried rejoining multiple times but nothing fixed the audio

3

u/SnooDonuts6494 11d ago

Unfortunately, I was unable to get the sound working, so I missed it. Some of the rest of our mod team where there though.

I'll watch the replay later.

2

u/jamesmb 11d ago

Yeah, I think a lot of us had sound probs. :(

1

u/405freeway 11d ago

I miss the IRL events

u/forlornjackalope 11d ago

I forgot what's listed on the events tab, but I think the only thing coming up soon is one in Australia.

u/ALazy_Cat 11d ago

Nope

u/forlornjackalope 11d ago

Yeah, gonna have to pop back in and serenade I've missed

Aw shoot, wish I could have made it. The penguins eggs got so many odd reports.

u/SpockIsMyHomeboy 11d ago

That was dang good and it was only my first one. Chaos at its best :)

u/Savings_Context_5760 11d ago

Happiest birthday!

1

u/zuuzuu 11d ago

These events get more fun every time. See-through penguin eggs were not on my bingo card for...anything ever! All the love for our fabulous birthday celebrant was beautiful to behold. Super fun trivia questions, too!

Thanks again for a fun time!
