The Monkey’s Paw is originally a short story written in 1902 by W.W. Jacobs, where the paw grants three wishes in a very cruel way. As in: did you wish for money? Well, enjoy collecting the inheritance from your now dead beloved relative.

In this community, [The Monkey’s Paw] (/c/monkeyspaw@sopuli.xyz), we do the same thing. One person makes a wish, and the others reply and explain how the wish backfired in funny, unexpected, or ironic ways.

So join us over at https://sopuli.xyz/c/monkeyspaw in making wishes and watching them beautifully crash and burn.

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
