• The prize wheel that would take literal hours to spin and would occassionaly reward you with a screamer

• Neopets having petpets and the petpets having petpetpets which were just parasites

• The laboratory ray that was extremely fucking expensive to use having a chance of turning petpets into piles of ash

players lined up en masse for waking up turmaculus and PRAYING that he would be nice enough to eat their goddamn petpet and give them a special site avatar for it

They had a halloween event featuring the characters from supernatural as neopets

Only one neopet in the Neopets universe owns a car (Nigel the Chia)

There was a battledome item that would let you turn your opponent’s expensive precious painted pet into a Chia

There was a also a battledome item that would let you just PERMANENTLY DELETE your opponent’s potentially very expensive weapon

The original version of the penguin pet Bruce was straight up a picture of the real-life English television entertainer Bruce Forsyth 

Neopets has a stock market, this one used to work as real life Stock Markets do, which lead to players coming together and all investing on the same stock in order to inflate it’s prize and gain a lot of money, yes, this was way before Reddit did it in real life. The Neopian Stock Market is now randomized instead of based in player’s investments

There’s a Neopets Black Market in which you pay real actual money to get rare items, usually unchanged Neopets that didn’t went through the UI update, which are considered the highest Rarity in the game

Lutari Island was a Neopian city, this one was only available through the mobile game however, and now the place is unreachable

Just to be clear, this one is a rumor within the fandom, but apparently one of the TNT (The Neopets Team, pretty much the staff) jobs was actively looking for and DMCA'ing Neopets not sfw content, as far as I am aware, this has slowed down/completely stopped after the staff change that caused the Neoapocalypse.

I love "how do you do math?" questions. Here's how my brain does it:

1.

The King sits you down with his other two advisors, has you close your eyes, puts a hat on each of your heads. The hats will be either red or white, he says, with at least one red one. The first to speak up and name the color of their own hat wins the prize.

You open your eyes, see the other two advisors both with red hats staring at you. You all study each other, thinking. Silence. Silence. No one coming to a conclusion.

Ah, but in their silence it is obvious: if your hat were white, surely one of them would have figured it out already. Your hats all are red, of course.

2.

You pass through a tunnel in a group of n where n>2 friends, wind blowing through your hair; you emerge from the darkness to see each of your friends with a smudge of soot on their foreheads. You laugh. You cannot help but laugh. They look hilarious! The moment they realize they have a smudge of soot on their foreheads, they will wipe it clean, of course, but for now all of you are laughing. You all will keep laughing as long as there is a spot of soot left to be seen.

You think, How inseparable you are from your friends, how your minds all work according to the same rules of logic! You can imagine what they are all thinking, right now, in their laughter; and they of you; and you are imaging them imagining you and so on ad infinitum. You watch them laughing and are looking into a hall of mirrors.

You think this is what knowing is.

In any case, so long as your minds all tick along at sufficiently different speeds, eventually, your faces will all be clean.
