It's only fair that I start:

Every Funhole content engager knows the iconic characters of Hank, Brenda, and Brank. There's no doubt in my mind they're an instant favourite of our content community. But what if there's something more to this dynamic egg trio? What if the story of Brank, as told by our fearless content leader qrstuv, is actually the story of qrstuv's childhood?

Of course, I brought receipts:

  1. Here, we see a drawing of Brank holding hands with his cool frog friends. As you can see, there is a caption that reads "my friends!" (my emphasis)
  2. Here, we see a Brank-looking figure seated in a bucket with a caption that reads "I'm in a bucket" (my emphasis)
  3. Here, we see a baby egg accompanied by their mommy egg. This makes the fact that eggs can have families known to the engager.

If my theory is true, then that means...

  1. As previous, qrstuv has/had cool frog friends
  2. As previous. qrstuv had fun in a bucket
  3. qrstuv can summon forth boomerang hands just by thought
  4. qrstuv is a master of numerous ninja tactics
  5. qrstuv once helped make dinner
  6. And of course, though I can hardly believe this myself, qrstuv's father one day went to the egg store to buy new eggs.

Good thread, but I think your approach is entirely wrong.

Yours is the most superficial interpretation of the content listed. Basically what you describe is what the casual content consumer is supposed to take away from it. Before I go on - please, keep in mind that this is just for fun and nothing I say is true. But I will give you some of the things I have noticed in some of the content you mention.

From 1997 onward, a certain government agency was using image blogs to pass data to its sleeper agents around the world. The images themselves were irrelevant, no matter what was on them. However, in the metadata were contained encrypted messages to be decoded by the intended recipients. This approach is no longer possible, since most content sharing platforms convert the images to its own formats and strip the metadata. Out of necessity, a new method was devised - that being encoding messages into the pictures themselves. Notice that every image contains countable objects, creatures, fingers, eggs, what have you.

For example, notice the boomerang hands image. Count the boomerangs facing inwards: 17. Brank is holding 2 boomerangs. 17th of February? The bird? It's a place. Of course we cannot know which city it's meant to represent, only the agent would know, but think of cities named after birds. Bird City in Kansas? Phoenix Arizona? Pigeon Forge, Tennessee? Maybe Canary Islands?

Helping with dinner, again, there is a date in the carrots, maybe a GPS location. The knife? Perhaps an assassination.

Baby and mommy eggs, count the spots on the eggs. Again, a date?

1 against 100, the red background suggests a warning, an alert. Perhaps the recipient is in danger.

Hank buying new eggs? The egg pack represents explosives. A bombing plot. The old eggs? Prompts the recipient to abort mission and leave, which Hank literally does in the comic strip.

Brank and frog friends? 8 reeds, 3 lily pads. 8th of March, extraction by the French foreign legion.

tl;dr, Funhole content is used to pass encrypted messages to sleeper agents.

I said too much. I recommend you do not pursue any further inquiries.

You've been reported to the headmaster for that. You still have time to run away. But you know they'll find you. < End of content
