Why? kind of pointless to me.
oatmealFeb 1, 2011Submitter
As I said in the blog post, they're probably gonna remove it once the new changes go live. It was just a funny response to me posting "when are you gonna add an Oatmeal tab?" in the digg dialogg with Matt Williams:

Your check bounced, we'll be removing it shortly :)
sabazouFeb 1, 2011
Anyone can have their own tab for the low price of $15,000 USD per day divided by the number of followers you have times the number of diggs your submissions get plus Kevin Rose minus Matt Williams divided by the square root of Leo Laporte Mashable Mashable Mashable Mashable

What about my Ultimate Goat Fansite? http://www.ultimategoatfansite.com I think you guys should acquire it to help goats of the world network and upgoat eachother's submissions. Thanks for listening.
*slides piece of paper across table with $16.00USD written on it*

LOL. That's a little rich for my blood, Its all yours Greg:-)

Ten bucks and a slurpee?
eagles7977Feb 1, 2011
Ill give u $1,600,000 deal?
canyoucountFeb 2, 2011
If it was an Ultimate Goatse Fan site, maybe...
WreckedEmFeb 2, 2011
How about goat goatse?
mariocarrascoFeb 2, 2011
You sir are badass
jerryjamesstoneFeb 1, 2011
You cannot divide by that many Mashables as it results in an imaginary number or sometimes a unicorn.
arbiincFeb 1, 2011
Is there any package deal? I need 2 tabs (possibly 3).
badqatFeb 1, 2011
So, about tree-fitty?
aprillajuneFeb 2, 2011
Hilarious! and true at the same time.
weirddemonFeb 2, 2011
It would be awesome if the Oatmeal tab was kept and could only be turned on from the settings menu.
Or as an Easter Egg
inditechFeb 2, 2011
Surely it should be a motherf**king easter pterodactyl?
elevenFeb 1, 2011
A final reminder for me to pre-order your book! Done and Done.
oatmealFeb 2, 2011Submitter
thank you sir!
llanowarFeb 1, 2011
Proof that Oatmeal can get anything he asks for.
oatmealFeb 2, 2011Submitter
Not true. My girlfriend still refuses to beat me with sacks of raw chicken on sexy-adventure-tuesdays in the Oatmeal household.
llanowarFeb 2, 2011
Take more initiative, man! Next Tuesday, wait for her in the bedroom, naked, while beating yourself with sacks of raw chicken. I'm sure once she sees how much fun it is, she'll join in!
badqatFeb 1, 2011
I agree, they'll be removing the tab.
P.S. I accidentally clicked the bury button on this so I cannot digg it. (seriously it was an accident and there's no warning it just buries instantly. I wasn't trying to be a jerk or anything)
absolutelytrueFeb 1, 2011
Funny coincidence. Same thing happened to me.
maxell101Feb 1, 2011
It's happened to me before.
diktator279Feb 2, 2011
I can't say it's ever happened to me, but I did accidentally the whole thing once
blydchyldFeb 2, 2011
what, the whole thing?
canyoucountFeb 2, 2011
what is this I don't even
boucheFeb 2, 2011
And here I thought that this would be that one killer mind blowing feature I was asking about.
specimen7Feb 2, 2011
Get the hell away from the internet.
usherzxFeb 1, 2011
Digitaldd, you're no fun.
primitivemindFeb 1, 2011
I feel the same way about your comment.
krayziekydFeb 1, 2011
You're kind of pointless to me. Oh digg, how I've missed you!
vtbarreraFeb 1, 2011
Where's the SMBC tab? Don't get me wrong though, I'm a huge fan of the Oatmeal, but I'm not sure Matt can create something Digg worthy everyday.
/OatmealBait
thekadFeb 1, 2011Staff
Oooh a challenge... would the Oatmeal accept? DISCUSS.
emitstopFeb 1, 2011
Whatever this is it's f**king lame.
vtbarreraFeb 1, 2011
Sup Zak!
emitstopFeb 1, 2011
What's up? I'm just here for the show
gvoakesFeb 1, 2011
No donkeys here, move along kid
usherzxFeb 1, 2011
Create a mascot for digg to rival the tumblebeasts!
paduraFeb 1, 2011
SMBC is not so popular here, it is more popular on reddit, thought it is a great comic
weirddemonFeb 2, 2011
The Oatmeal > SMBC
byderekjFeb 1, 2011
Doing this because the Oatmeal stories get the most diggs?! (filter out everything else?) I don't know.
morebanterFeb 1, 2011
clever digg...
arbiincFeb 1, 2011
What criteria did you use to determine Oatmeal (and not any other publisher) should have their own designated tab in the main menu bar?
What it seems to me is that "Oatmeal" is the new "mashable."Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
Closed AccountFeb 1, 2011
I believe it's a little joke.
maxell101Feb 1, 2011
I saw Oatmeal's comment yesterday. It was a joke. He or she asked when they were getting their own tab. Everyone was asking for the world. Here is the tab. Follow the link left by Oatmeal above.
atomic1fireFeb 2, 2011
I thought XKCD would get one first,
It would make Binky happy.
edit: inb4 This is the best XKCD tab evar
usherzxFeb 1, 2011
Yay digg is BACK!
alapoetFeb 1, 2011
who blew kevin rose to get this?
louiebaurFeb 1, 2011
Oh you didn't get the memo?
blydchyldFeb 2, 2011
You mean the one with the new cover sheet?
Closed AccountFeb 1, 2011
It's beautiful. Like the heavens had opened and bestowed upon us a gift with no earthly equivalent.
paduraFeb 1, 2011
Digg promotes Oatmeal, Oatmeal promotes Digg
marshdabeachyFeb 1, 2011
Coincidentally, the reason I found this story is because of the Oatmeal tab.
Keep the Oatmeal tab!!
mhuntFeb 1, 2011
And if there's a TotalProSports tab, you'll find articles you never should have found.
cawpinFeb 2, 2011
That's the same thing isn't it?
louiebaurFeb 1, 2011
Deer digg, Please add a PRon Tab.
Thanks Mate
eagles7977Feb 1, 2011
Mate pls save with tags
badqatFeb 1, 2011
Share with family, plz.
eagles7977Feb 1, 2011
mate u there?
louiebaurFeb 1, 2011
Sorry Mate was checking out some PRon I is back nowz.
FPSmotoFeb 1, 2011
If you have to ask WHY an Oatmeal section, it's because The Oatmeal is awesome.
weirddemonFeb 2, 2011
That's not how that goes.
jman491Feb 1, 2011
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes YES
alaskalonewolfFeb 1, 2011
Please add a WTFAUD@DIGG button. It will simply the complaint process.
nevermiss1Feb 1, 2011
I thought I was the only one that was seeing this
weirddemonFeb 2, 2011
Yeah. I was freaking out for a second.
crankyhippoFeb 1, 2011
So many man tears
jonprophetFeb 1, 2011
Here's to strong caribou butts!
tanethFeb 1, 2011
WTF? I didn't even notice that!
Where's XKCD?
nitrusoxide13Feb 1, 2011
Love it!
amtechfoxFeb 1, 2011
Cool idea actually.
emitstopFeb 1, 2011
Hot damn. Digg comments today are about on par with youtube. How could anyone support this? What happened to the Digg that had the users vote on what they wanted to see? It's pathetic. I used to like the Oatmeal, but lately it (and Digg) have been appealing the the lowest common denominator kind of audience.
"Oh hey, I'll just make these extremely obese people scream stupid things, and give these animals some chainsaws! That'll never get old! Right, guys? guys?"Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
octaviousFeb 1, 2011
i think it's time somebody gets off this old man's lawn. He just might start shooting all the whippersnappers
emitstopFeb 1, 2011
Being over the age of 14 would make anyone an old man in this crowd.
octaviousFeb 1, 2011
not sure what you're doing here then. rational people don't spend their time at places that don't like.
donkeybonggggFeb 1, 2011
now you're under a microscope. we're watching your every move...no pressure tho
justjohn025Feb 1, 2011
They should leave it there because The Oatmeal is that awesome
lameboyFeb 1, 2011
A new feature to truly rave about! Oatmeal FTW!!
nmpraveenFeb 1, 2011
I would love to see NSFW tab instead
sparkrainfirFeb 1, 2011
This was added because of a digg dialogg question. I'm sure it will be removed soon.
yvipoFeb 1, 2011
i noticed this as well. everyone loves some oatmeal
gotamdFeb 1, 2011
I approve.
blackops89Feb 1, 2011
Love The Oatmeal, so funny.
techoboFeb 1, 2011
I like this alot.
prolikewhoaFeb 1, 2011
Oatmeal is the new Homestar Runner. Does it really need its own tab though?
recruzFeb 1, 2011
Unpossible ...
KGraceyFeb 1, 2011
People are so uptight. This is awesomely hilarious. Its obviously a joke and will be going away. But have some fun every once in a while! Its good for you i promise.
zachapiFeb 1, 2011
With all seriousness, what about giving users the ability to add a tag? Not for the entire community, just for them to see.
atomic1fireFeb 2, 2011
Actually community tabs (that could be enabled and upvoted/downvoted to prevent gaming) could be a cool idea.
matthrFeb 1, 2011
GG oatmeal, even the black and shriveled hearts at digg have a place for you.
Pickle430Feb 2, 2011
lol wtf does oatmeal do and what is it for?
atomic1fireFeb 2, 2011
They should let it be activated by konami code when it's released.
dgopoFeb 2, 2011
this is pretty funny. when do i get my tab?
myers3979Feb 2, 2011
really just sounds like digg is at a loss of how to please their members
deltreyFeb 2, 2011
this is the first cool thing digg did in months
chongqingkingFeb 2, 2011
message from the CEO:
here at Digg, we treat our people like family... <whispers> but if you decide to submit to Reddit again, say bye bye to The Oatmeal Tab...
mangamaster03Feb 2, 2011
Please Please PLEASE keep the Oatmeal tab, or make it an option, like gmail and the "beta" logo.
waverlywaveFeb 2, 2011
wao...cool
graehFeb 2, 2011
BRING BACK THE GOD DAMNED OATMEAL TAB.
IF THERE'S ONE SIGN - ONE SPARK OF PERSONALITY RETURNING TO DIGG, ONE LITTLE SYMBOL THAT HINTS THINGS MIGHT HAVE TURNED A CORNER, THAT DIGG KNOWS WHAT MIGHT MAKE IT UNIQUE AND NOTEWORTHY AGAIN...
Aside from typing an overbearing paragraph in caps by holding down shift, because it feels more cathartic than using caps lock...
If there's something that shows digg knows why it f**ked up, and how to get back to having some semblence of a soul and character, it's random fun pointless sillyness. Unprofessional, unbusiness like, unamortised, untargeted, uncrosspolinated, undemographically aware, un'social', unthirdquarter projectioned, unplanned silly fun that diggers get as an in joke and that nobody else notices or cares about. Harmless stupid silly fun that brings some f**king personality back to this place - after the v4.0 soul enema.
More silly pointless fun stuff - random displays of personality and style. It not only can't hurt - it can't do anything but bury the faux pass tastic false step that was the corporate soulness lobotome of v4. More personality, plz.
micahcFeb 2, 2011
The Oatmeal tab doesn't have to come back, but silliness is welcome.
sabazouFeb 2, 2011
I agree completely
