Pac-Man ran into a wall at full speed.
Give this part a bandage!
Lego always tends to use this piece in sets.
I myself have never used it in a moc.
This is everyone’s very favorite six wide half circle part.
Anyone know why not much people message on these daily things anymore?
With some specialized tiles this would be a great way for lego to give us a rainbow

Idk it’s weird. I miss the hundreds of comments from people around the world discussing a single Lego brick each day. But yet the world moves on….

Not always that much to say about some pieces

I suppose it may depend on how early you look at the comments as people will read it at different times depending on where in the world they are and when they get chance to access the internet for leisure.
You may find more comments than you read previously if checking the entry for the previous day. Also as a lot of the parts are quite recent maybe a lot of readers don't have an example to comment about.
@Brickodillo:
Like the 2x2 macaroni tile w/ rainbow print that comes with CMF Kermit the Frog?
But why is it just with cut and not a cutout?
@Supreme
Comments also get turned off after a certain amount of time so you can't comment on them after a day or so
@Miwa:
They might abbr. some words to save space if there’s a character limit in their database.
For the other thing, RSOTD, RPOTD, VSOTW, and Advent Calendar posts are all limited to one article apiece. When a new one posts, the previous one gets bumped off the front page and has its comments closed. RPOTD is strictly on a daily schedule. VSOTW lasts all week and takes one slot away from RSOTD, so Friday’s RSOTD lasts two days until it gets bumped by Sunday’s post. Advent Calendar posts are not automated, so they last roughly one day each (assuming the reviewers post around the same time each day), but I think the final post might expire like a normal article since there won’t be a new one to bump it off the front page for over 340 days. Some articles have comments shut down before they’re even posted, if commenters can’t be trusted to keep things civil due to the topic. All other articles expire at some point, I would guess based on how long it has been since the most recent post, rather than some set period of time from when the article was first posted.
Because of the automation quirk, and Daylight Saving Time, there was an instance of a RPOTD that stayed active for just one hour. I think RSOTD posts at 3am, UK time, and RPOTD was set to post one hour earlier. When the first time change hit, it triggered at its normal time, and then one hour later the clock got set back one hour which triggered a new article and killed the other one before most people had even seen it.
