My conker disintegrated in one hit, and that just doesn’t happen … I’m suspicious of foul play and have expressed my surprise

This is the very first time I’ve ever heard of this. Not just the controversy but the actual sport itself.

That is a nuanced and insightful argument, unfortunately I have portrayed myself as the steel chestnut and you as the crying wojak chestnut

I hope you post updates when available to see if they get to the bottom of the disintegrating pieces

idk if people who have English as their first language feel the same way about it, but conker, especially in a phrase like “men’s world conker championship”, always sounds like some regional British slur to me.
