I clicked the link and read the whole thing. I still am not sure if this is sincere or satire. It's so out there that I kind of hope it is real, and that they find what they are looking for.

Come on, "polyrule" was right there
Wanted: Roommate, must fuck every other housemate
Edit: wow this is a cult lmao
How many people does a group need to become a cult? I don't think 3 cuts it
A cult with only one member is just an unusual habit. But two? You've got a leader and a follower, I think that's enough.
There are single family cults. You can absolutely have a cult with 3 people. It's all about control.
Check "Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence" - a Hulu documentary series released in 2022.
Warning: heavy shit. Like, seriously. I can take a lot, but this was a hard pill to swallow.
There are so many little things in that link that sends up a little red flag, but this section.... Oof.
Family planning:
- We would like to have 3-4 kids.
- We are considering having Melissa breed with Norman or Zaid, and/or Mackenzie with Douglas, as we believe these would be the genetically-optimal combinations. This would likely take place in the next 1-2 years.
- As you would be a newer addition to the polycule, we would need to get to know you for 2-4 years (depending on good behavior) before considering adding you to the gene pool.
Genetically-optimal? How in the fuck do they determine that? What happens if their spawn is not genetically-optimal? Recycling bin?
Geezus fuck people are dumb sometimes.
Genetically-optimal? How in the fuck do they determine that?
Hot and hot = optimal, I'd assume. I haven't checked the website to see if they have photos of the people or anything.
Ugh it smells very american, who ever talks like that any more? Didn't you pay attention during WW2? 😬
Yeah 100%. As someone who is a "normal" poly person, the stuff listed in this is awful and terrible and shouldnt ever actually be considered polyamory.
Yooo!!! Lets start a cult in Seattle!
I only join cults nowadays if they offer a remote-only option. Tried it out during the pandemic, got used to it, refuse to go back. It's so much less work.
Not even who you replied to but If you can help me relocate I am so down :P
What's so terrible about long walks on the beach in 3:4 formation??? /j
Poly as in plastic.
It's Norman, who will absolutely give up the presidency, but right now is bad timing.
"We are considering having Melissa breed with Norman or Zaid, and/or Mackenzie with Douglas, as we believe these would be the genetically-optimal combinations. This would likely take place in the next 1-2 years."
Wow, I think this just found the field of microeugenics
Yeah, I know when a polycule is looking for a short member they can lift up to get the cookie jar & high shelf stuff.
5'5" is about the global average, it's not short.
You are right, I was trying to reference this in a petty attempt at humour

Maybe if you're including children.
edit: Apparently not: https://compareheight.net/average-human-height-worldwide/
I'm not poly, but $1,500 is pretty cheap rent for San Francisco...
Are you sexually compatible with all genders in their cule?
Jesus I was just thinking the opposite. I would be OK with poly if it meant saving on rent but 1500 is fucking ridiculous (and I'm thinking Canadian). Even coming from the most expensive rent in Canada, that's way too fucking much to also be dealing with weird "breeders".
Well if they're walking 3:4 there's 12 people in said polycule so total rent would be $18 840 which... doesn't seem particularly cheap.
E: Haha ok so if they meant 3+4 then '3:4' is the absolute worst way of writing that. And that's still $11 000 a month.
I'd need more information before I could say I wanted to be in their polycule, much less their breeding pool.
I don’t understand this post. All I see are red flags.
I'm happy with my monocule. Every couch feels like an XL couch when you're by yourself
"You can't click on this link because it is on printed paper, you will need to type it into your browser".
That got me chuckling, because I have actually tried to do that multiple times, but only succeeded twice.
The video of Zaid on the website. He blinks a lot while pausing before saying he's ok. That is a sign people in cults do when they are not ok.
Also, when a group make a video of a member in which they state they are ok to prove nothing is wrong, it's a sign something is wrong.
When they state a member leaving as "defected", it's a sign of a cult.
When they use the word "breeding" for adding children to their group is totally not a red flag lol.
I was convinced this was satire and then I clicked through the link. See for yourself and maybe apply :)
The form still feels very satire-like
Probably only if your waist is below a certain size 🤢 god that link made me unreasonably fucking mad
Wait, really? I might actually qualify ♥️ BRB, filling out an application to be in an elitist discriminatory sex cult 😄
Edit: nvm, I don't meet their tallness specifications 😥
Or above a minimum... who knows.
If serious: The breeding thing and this being SF suggests some strange subgroup from lesswrong/rationalism/TESCREAL or whatever they go by now.
I love how they don't rule out people who can't figure out a printed url. I certainly couldnt partner with someone who needs instructions on how to use a link.
Why wouldnt you just use a qr code?
Ominous shadow puppets in Zaid’s video. A+ to them for logistics and teamwork. I hope they find their match.
One person's heaven is another's hell.
This sounds like an unrelenting horror to me. Imagine all of the talking.... yap yap yap every second 'it's hot' 'i'm hungry' GET OUT GET OUT
I still can't understand if this is a joke or not. Some parts feel like a joke.
