User:DollarStoreBa'al

Welcome to my userpage! Relax. Have a drink. Perhaps leave a message on my talk page if you wish. Enjoy your stay!

Giving Thanks Before I introduce myself, whole bunch of thanks to FaviFake for creating my user pages for me and teaching me proper wiki etiquette. Thanks to you, I am now able to be a supportive, helpful member of this weird little niche. Huge amounts of thanks to ⯅A dream demon⯅ for showing me how to make userboxes. Thanks to you, I can now properly convey that I'm in your walls. Finally, the greatest amount of thanks to Tori. You are possibly the kindest and most helpful person on this entire goddamn wiki. Thanks. You guys are the best.

What my brain trapped in a case of flesh and bone does Hello. I am the god of fertility, weather, sailing, and war in the Hebrew Bible, but I mostly use my powers for the war thing. I also occasionally manipulate the birthrates to mess with people. (you won't believe how many penises I've drawn using birth locations) I have all the xkcd books (look, I gotta read sometimes, okay?) and have needed to get a second copy of multiple because the first ones were destroyed from use. Most of my editing efforts outside discussion pages center around adding new details that have recently been uncovered, and adding details to incomplete articles. I registered 16:17, March 10, 2024, but didn't really start using the account until around December 2024. My political views are very far left, as I want to get in their good graces. Besides, they're more mischief-makers. Belial (god of evil (yes, he's a god, not a term (yes, all gods know each other (yes, I am nesting four parentheses (I know it's bad, but no one can stop me (Would you like some fries with that?)))))) handles the right-wing. He and I have a bit of an arrangement. I handle all the unsolved mysteries, he handles everything with '-cide' at the end. My favorite characters are beret guy and black hat. Always happy when those two show up. I was born with the 50th revolution of the universe, and shall die many, many cycles hence. Open to conversing wherever you please, but please make sure to specify that you're from the wiki. Otherwise, I'll assume it's spam, which I get a lot.

Actually Me I have autism. And ADHD. And GAD. And probably depression too. Basically, my mind is a bunch of mental health-related acronyms mushed together, then scooped into a hollowed acorn squash, roasted, and topped with some butter and nutmeg. I'm a 15-year-old born in Washington D.C., lived 10 years in Maryland, living in Nebraska, and identifying as a Pacific Northwestern. I'm in the International Baccalaureate program at my high school. I play tennis. Warning: I do have a tendency to make mistakes, panic when I realize the mistake, and then proceed to make more mistakes in an attempt to correct the first mistake. I also have a tendency to get myself way over my head in an attempt to prove my worth (Technically, it does).

How the Universe functions You people are actually pretty close. This universe is made of cycles. Universes are created on the 0th cycle, starting with what you know as the big bang. Each universe lasts approximately 40 trillion human years or so before going through a 'big bounce', as you call it. (I should start using that, it's a good name). During the bounce, the universe is condensed into an area the size of a black hole before going through another big bang, repeating the process. Each universe goes through between 10,000 and 100,000 cycles before going through a big crunch. However, once your universe has undergone all these cycles, the universe we reside in will go through a big bounce, one of 10,000 to 100,000. We, your gods, have gods. Our gods have gods. You are... not someone else's gods. Not yet. It's slightly confusing at first, but you will understand eventually. For reference, you are about 20 or so Billion years through your 159th cycle.

Bloog Here is where I will post updates about stuff in my life in general. *3/21/25 - Gonna go out for dinner to a lovely restaurant that does all wood-fired things. Excited! *13/39/99 - finally got 1,000,000 souls eaten! *4/04/25 - 404: Not found *40525-alostallkeysbrokeonkeyboardinludingspaebarandthebottorowhel *4/08/25 - Got to work fixing a bunch of What If? explanations. It's nice owning all the books and being able to consult them. *4/11/25 - Edited explanation for new comic. *4/14/25 - ALL THE GD PLAYERS PUT YA HANDS UP *4/17/25 - Went through Vic's talk page because I like getting little peeks into the history of the wiki. It's wild learning that Definitely Bill Cipher was a spammer and Caliban's Creations once had so much trouble navigating the wiki that I do now. It's like looking at your parent's school pictures and thinking, 'oh yeah, they were kids too!' Expanded my user page to include total edits and pages edited. *4/18/25 - Added over 2,000 bytes to 3 What If? Chapters. *4/19/25 - Who bullet-pointed the entire countdown in header text page? I just reworked the first section and removed over 1500 characters. Complete rework of Countdown in header text done. *4/20/25 - Smoked weed, completely reworked Operating Systems *4/23/25 - I started a large process to conquer Header text with FaviFake. Go here if you wish to see the tables and explanations which are currently under construction. On another note, I just realized that I've gotten almost half of my total score in the past month. *4/27/25 - Geez, I leave for two days and I come back to 89 incomplete explanations? *4/29/25 - Why do we not just fix all the new incomplete explanations? I'm just getting free points over here by doing almost all of them. 500 EDITS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *5/1/25 - Put the OG template on some comics, admitted my Mistakes on my talk page. *5/12/25 (god its been a while) - Created two new templates! They are {{Trout}} and {{Whale}} *6/14/25 - Don't worry, I'm not dead. I am simply on summer break. Feel free to reach out via email at [email protected]. I'll be back to this lovely little rabbit hole ~August 12th. Cheers! *8/6/25 - IM BACK BITCHEZZZZZZZZZZ. Left a comment on 3123, expanded the explanation to 3123, and responded to a rather rude IP on my talk page. *8/7/25 - Uploaded 50 images for 1079. Helped User:Aprilfoolsupdate! make templates. Also, I've done more edits in 2 days than FaviFake has done in a week. Bro's lacking. I've done so many things today it's hard to keep track. Over 100 edits, one day. Almost as much as Elon tweets. *8/18/25 - I haven't been updating this. Silly me. I did some more minor edits, expanded the explanation on 3129, and helped Aprilfoolsupdate! again. I like helping people :) Also, the number of incomplete explanations is going down rather quickly. Good, we kinda fell behind after 3000. One more thing. I'm almost at 276 points, which would put me on the top 50 all time scoreboard! Take that, User:IronyChef! *8/20/25 - Three more score and I'm 50th all time. Me Excite. *8/22/25 - 49TH ON THE ALL-TIME SCOREBOARD!!!!! MR. GAMEZONE DOESN'T HOLD A CANDLE TO THE SOUL-EATER YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *8/25/25 - I'm 48th now! Hooray for numbers going up (well, down, I suppose)! *8/26/25 - created User:User:User:User:User:User/Mr. Beast is trying to aquire my bones. I made sure literally nobody is going to be bothered by this. Unlike DSBContribs. I created {{DGAF}}, inspired by User:42.book.addict's log. September edit: People were VERY bothered by this... Excuse me, but as I am 47th place, I must end another life. Also, 42.book.addict is back! Yay! (she's a really good editor and it's an honor to be working with her) *8/27/25 - I am now, officially, 46th place. Moving up in the world! The only way for my experience on this wiki to get better is if Jeff returned as well... *cough cough*.... Jeff, that's your cue, man. Wait, FaviFake has made four changes in the past week. FOUR. Don't tell me FaviFake left too... Update: I have officially usurped Jeff. I've been around for...around 18 months at this point? JEFF WE NEED YOU One last thing for today. I am, quite possibly, one of the stupidest people alive.' *8/27/25 - Phew. Okay. Focus. ALWAYS convene with Kynde or Tori before I create a page or template. Get some work on What If? Chapters done. Did Randall decide not to answer? Fine. I'll answer it myself. I want that bitch off the incomplete pages list once and for all. It's time for the new Soul-Eater. I demand a rematch. Okay, that sounded way cooler in my head. 319 score! That's my birthday! That's one of the best things I've seen all day (the bar's incredibly low, but c'mon!) *8/29/25 - 1K EDITS! And also, now I'm in 44th place :) *9/5/25- It's been quite a while since I've updated this. I've been active, doing things for What If Chapters mostly. I made some redirect pages to it because it's a wild one to type with the italics. I also made User:DollarStoreBa'al/WORKPAGE for some longer projects I'm working on/ will be working on in the future. I'm trying to finish that table so the wiki can be done with it and move on. Uhhhhhhhh yeah. Then maybe I'll do some work summarizing the custom header texts on Header text, and get back into that project. Actually, I might do that a bit sooner. 42 and I proposed an idea for a custom user-based signature template, which would bypass the 255 character sig limit without the wikitext showing up. It was struck down immediately due to high server load issues. You win some, you lose some. I started doing some competitions for my HS tennis team. So far, we're 1-1 overall, but I've won all 4 matches I've played so far. So that's a plus! 92 and 82 continue to do great work, and FaviFake has returned! Yay! Other than that, nothing much to report. I'll try to update this more often so you guys don't get these text walls. *9/15/25 - I missed celebrating 333 score :( Today is the worst day ever :((((( Nah I'm kidding, I've been taking a bit of a hiatus for school, but I'll try to get back into the swing of things. *9/17/25 - I think I'm a bit too into the swing of things. The WORKPAGE is coming along nicely. Don't look! It's a surprise! *9/18/25 - Expect WORKPAGE surprise to be done in 1-2 weeks. Sorry, it's VERY big. I found out how to use dark mode! Sadly, it gets a negative review from me. Most links on pages are NOT blue, but instead white, and there are bars of white in random places. It does look good in some areas, but the cons outweigh the pros. 2 out of 5 stars. Sorry NQH, you tried your best. Wait! I found a better dark mode! Copy the text from this page! *9/19/25 - I'm 40th place now, meaning I missed celebrating 42nd. I shall never celebrate being the answer to life, the universe, and everything for a short period of time. I'll be here for a while, over 20 score until I'm in the 30s. *9/28/25 - I am in way over my head. But I'm over halfway. The sunk-cost fallacy is kicking in now. I can't wait until this is over... *10/1/25 - I got stung by a bee today. First time in my life. I'm not allergic (thank the big bang) but that doesn't change the fact that it hurts like hell. damn that shit hurt. *10/3/25 - I created {{what if? chapters}} as a way to edit both pages using the chapters table at the same time. I know it seems weird, but I believe it is much more convenient than pasting the explanations between pages, especially with the lag the wiki experiences today. *10/8/25 - Made lots of progress on the WORKPAGE. Added more to the to-do list on that page. (don't look!) I've shaved off many bytes, so I'm hoping the bot doesn't decide to auto-revert my incredibly productive edit. *10/15/25 - OH GOD THERE'S MORE STUFF! I HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THE ARCHVIES NOW. CRAP. I think I've nerd sniped myself. Welp, at least I've uploaded all the necessary images, right? RIGHT? 10/29 Update: wrong :) *10/29/25 - Oh God I just realized I've been referring to 42 by the WRONG PRONOUNS THIS ENTIRE TIME. (sorry). I'll try to remember she/they in the future. *10/31/25 - Happy Spooky Day to all! I just want to thank everybody on this wiki for letting me into this beautiful little community. Extra special thanks to Kynde for persevering through being the only active admin, 42 for being possibly the most helpful person in this community, FaviFake for being so dedicated to this wiki, and to the 82 IP for enforcing wiki etiquette and skillfully explaining anything that comes his way. *11/4/25 - WORKPAGE project currently on hold while I go through literally every single archive of xkcd ever made. Oh, how naive i was when I began that. Also, I'm contemplating creating a table mapping out all the blag posts. *11/14/25 - I need to remember to update this... Well, the WORKPAGE project is still on hold (I'm only able to look at the archives on the weekends), but I've been dipping my toes into other things for the almighty time being. Today, I stopped some brainrotted vandals who were probably at school while doing it. They replaced a bunch of pages with immature sex jokes and replacing comic pages with the words 'six seven'. Sigh.... *11/17/25 - Remember that brainrotted vandal I reverted? Yeah, they vandalized my user page. Thank you to the 82 IP for reverting that, btw. It's nice to know that I'm being noticed :) *11/18/25 - The brainrotted vandal temporarily came back again! Keep it up, it's very entertaining and you'll be reverted anyway. *11/19/25 - HE CAME BACK. This time, he supplied a link. I'll see where it goes, considering the fact that I'm on a school chromebook and that literally nothing works on school chromebooks... Edit: It goes to a lesson plan on chromosomal abnormalities for the first year of secondary school. That's the closest to not being vandalism he's come so far! Good job :) *11/20/25 - He came back, and got worse. This is starting to get annoying, but it's still entertaining :) Also, he regressed back to cock-and-ball jokes *11/21/25 - He never came back... sadge. *12/02/25 - I'm back Also, the brainrotted vandal came back! According to him, I've been vandalized 67 times. Very cool. He also somehow knew to vandalize when I'm on a Thanksgiving break. And he came back again! Happy Holidays, Mr. Vandal! *12/03/25 - I have no mouth and I must [[Category:Helper comic images]] The past two days, I've averaged over 1k edits per day. I'm now 8th on the all-time leaderboard (undeservedly). Current images categorizing; The frames of Time. There are a lot of frames of Time. Also, I've quintupled my score. *12/04/25 - Apparently, I'm now #2 on the all-time leaderboards, only behind Davidy. And I might soon pass Davidy... I don't deserve this. I'm not the second-best editor. I don't even think I break top 20. Jeff, please remove minor edits from the scores. At the very least, just make a separate leaderboard. *12/05/25 - I don't know what to do with the rest of the images, and I honestly don't care. I know I'll probably just immediately mess up, so I'll leave 42 to do those. *12/13/25 - Taking temporary hiatus for finals and Christmas. May edit WORKPAGE occasionally. *12/15/25 - *1/21/26 - Hey look, the numbers changed. Wikipedia is 25. Fun fact: I enjoy it when vandalism is unique. I don't like 'crappers' or scam marketing tactics, but I enjoy it when a user whose name is 'crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap' replaces all the text with 'feces'. I have a good chuckle while I delete those. Btw, don't try to do that, it's already been done. *1/28/26 - 42 came back briefly today. *1/30/26 - CAN WE HAVE ONE FUCKING DAY WHERE WE DONT HAVE A SUDDEN MEDICAL EMERGENCY????????? *2/2/26 - New signature for Black History Month! *2/4/26 - This is one of those 'I'll go to bed because I'm sick of being conscious' days. *2/5/26 - WHY THE FUCK DO I HAVE TO LIVE IN THIS FUCKING WORLD *2/10/26 - Oh look. In my business class, we're doing stocks. I found the investopedia stock simulator. I am now playing the investopedia stock simulator a lot. Raise a glass to freedom.... something they can never take away, no matter what they tell you. *2/11/26 - Walkout at school today as an anti-ICE protest. MELT THEM! CAST THEM INTO THE FIRES OF MOUNT DOOM! *2/12/26 - I am the Alexander Hamilton of this wiki. I feel like somebody is going to complain when I'm done with this project because I broke some random rule which I didn't know about and was never told to me. Holy shit I'm in the news!!! *2/23/26 - Holy shit. I just realized that I am the person who has edited the most pages on this wiki. Cool, I guess. *4/17/26 - Huh. I didn't update this throughout all of March. Anyway, I'm feeling maintenance-y today. You? Also, I watched murder drones and it's the best thing ever. If you don't agree, bite me. *5/10/26 - I haven't edited in a couple weeks. I've been editing the normal Wikipedia. Also, I found out that you can do some crazy things with decorating your user page. I will have the most beautiful user page on this whole wiki.
