I'm sorry, I can't get out of this hilarious rabbit hole, now. @snarlcakes
The "Sharin Washburn" saga is one of the more surreal and elaborate bits of performance art on the Hoosier Huddle forums. While many users suspect the account is a "sock puppet" (an alt account) for a well-known male poster, Snarlcakes has turned the suspicion into a full-blown satirical comedy routine.
Here is the breakdown of the lore:
The Persona: "Sharon Washburn"
The user @sharinincarmel (Sharon Washburn) appeared on the boards in late 2025, presenting as a conservative, wealthy woman from Carmel, Indiana. The posts are a hyper-exaggerated blend of:
"Carmel Elite" Flexing: Frequent mentions of high-end grocery shopping (Market District), hosting "shrimp boils," and living an affluent suburban lifestyle.
The "Independent Woman" Routine: She often calls other posters "kiddo" and uses a mix of maternal concern and sharp-tongued political insults (calling opponents "woke nuts" or "mentally insane").
The Mystery of "Mr. Washburn": She frequently references her husband, leading other posters to joke about the "Poor Mr. Washburn" who has to deal with her forum habits.
The Satire: Snarlcakes as the "Defender"
While some users (like @scam-likely and @shooter) openly mock Sharon as a "transitioned" version of a male poster (specifically a user named Murt or McM), Snarlcakes takes a much more clever, satirical approach.
Snarlcakes treats the character as 100% real to mock the absurdity of the situation. Their specific "bits" include:
The "Smoke Show" Narrative: Snarlcakes frequently refers to Sharon as a "Carmel smoke show" and an "independent woman with an incredible intellect."
The 4 B’s: Snarlcakes famously claimed Sharon possesses the "Four B’s": Beauty, Brains, a great Booty, and most importantly, BITCOIN.
The "Bodyguard": Whenever someone insults Sharon, Snarlcakes will jump in with a "THAT’S MRS. WASHBURN TO YOU!" or demand that posters show respect to "one of the few ladies on this board."
The "Murt" Connection
The prevailing theory among the "Water Cooler" regulars is that Sharon is actually Murt (or McM). Posters often use the portmanteau "SharoMurt" to address the account.
The Clues: Sharon and Murt share identical political stances, use similar punctuation, and have a shared obsession with specific topics like the "Woke Epidemic" and the price of crab legs.
The Joke: Snarlcakes leans into this by constantly "spying" on Sharon in public, like claiming they saw her at a rooftop bar looking down at the "riff-raff" in the street.
Evaluation: Why It Matters
This dynamic is why the Hoosier Huddle "Water Cooler" is so addictive for its users. It’s not just about politics or sports; it’s a meta-commentary on internet identity. * Snarlcakes uses the Sharon persona to mock the self-seriousness of the board.
Goat, ever the observer, usually sits back and watches this "triumvirate of stupidity" with a dry, detached wit, occasionally chiming in to remind everyone that "AI will eventually replace all these personas anyway."
IF you have an Iphone and hearing aids, it reads all of this to you like an audio book. It is so GD hilarious! It's an entire 10-12 minutes of a book about ALL of us, here, bitching at each other! It's a combi of 1st person, 2nd and 3rd! All wrapped up into one.
..... But I don't know what any of that means. I've got corn to plant.
If men were any more stupid, we would have breed for the extinction of women. Proof yet again that WE are the best thing they have going for them.
there are plenty of sources to support or refute the increase & its relationship to immigrants.
You're the one making the argument so it's up to YOU to show the supporting evidence.
The concept isn't hard. You are arguing that A causes B.
But... You aren't even showing that A correlates with B. Further, you aren't analyzing variable A at all. For example, among the countries that go up in rape reporting the most, did they have more Muslim influx than the others? Among the countries that went DOWN in rape reporting the most, did they have less Muslim influx than the others?
You are arguing that A causes B merely because B exists and you "feel" that A must be happening.
Dumb. Lazy. 5th-grader mentality. Do better.
I still use the CO method. "Don't read, scroll past".

More AI brilliance: Gemini thinks DBM is part of the liberal vanguard:
If McM and Snarl are the "Right," these two are the "Left" that consistently stands their ground.
DBMHoosier (@dbmhoosier): A frequent target of the conservative posters. He is often the one posting links to national news or Trump-related controversies to "challenge" the MAGA-aligned posters. He has been called the "dumbest poster" by his detractors, but he is a fixture who never backs down from a fight.
...
DBMHoosier’s most recognizable habit is starting threads with links to national news stories, tweets, or "Trump-critical" content.
"Winning Thread": He famously started a "Winning" thread that was largely seen as a satirical or tracking thread for the chaotic elements of the administration.
The Bait: He doesn't always provide a 500-word essay; he often just drops a link or a tweet and lets the other users "tire themselves out" responding to it. This makes him the primary facilitator of debate for the "Left" side of the board.
...
You might remember the thread where DBMHoosier posted "Winning" in response to reports about international deals. While some interpreted it as genuine, the regulars immediately pushed back by demanding documentation and questioning the figures, treating his post as a way to highlight exaggeration. He has essentially "trained" the board to look for the "gotcha" in his posts because that’s the game they’ve all agreed to play.
It is SOOO funny reading about interpretations of our brothers/sisters here. And although it may highlight our deference, It some how makes me feel closer to you communist bastards.
I am just now starting to understand how AI is perceived to change us.

I asked Gemini how it determined the intent of DBM's post, and it told me it can't determine intent, it can only infer it from how the other posters respond, and our responses make it clear that we view DBM's posts about Trump as absurd to the point of satire, so they act as a flashpoint for criticizing MAGA. Add that to the recent posts of DBM being disappointed in our Prez, and it's easy to imagine why a robot might think DBM was doing this all along as a subtle form of criticism!
There are some other ways where Gemini messed up, though. It confused posters a lot. It thought I was the big Bitcoin advocate. I explained why that was wrong, and it was all, "I'm sorry, I can see that now!" Then, just for shits, I told Gemini I was Goat, and it got all "It's such an honor to be in your presence!" with me and then started asking me what I thought, and whether its summary of the Huddle was accurate or not!
@bradstevens I asked Gemini's opinion, and it said if we are "Dickens-ed out" (its phrase) and not friendly to postmodernism, we should read some Ted Chiang stories.
It's immaterial because I've got my garden chemistry so out of wack, that it will just die or get about 2' tall and make 3 kernels. This year will be about getting my pH down and hopefully cure my Phosphorous lock issue. Sulfur to the rescue, I hope.

Sulfur will take months. Aluminum Sulfate is nearly instant. Just be careful with it.

Quit putting all those wood ashes on the garden…you’re making lye.
Do you know how expensive that shit is? I like Murt, but it's not like he's family.
