Did you know...

  • ... in the entire history of the chat, the word "hoen" (and its parent "hoeny") has been used 1,419 times, the highest of any non-stopword?
  • ... the chat has been renamed at least 22 times since 2020, with names ranging from Rugged Outdoorsmen to Oops, All Hoeny Boys to the current Newfound Glory Hole? See the List of chat names.
  • ... the very first "hoeny" was posted by Kyle Derrick on 2021-10-28 ("Great, now I'm hoeny") — almost certainly a typo for horny, but no one corrected it and the typo went on to define the next five years of the chat?
  • ... the 420 Blaze It Leaderboard is the chat's longest-running statistics project, with 19 editions by Evan Bbbender from 2021-11-15 → 2026-02-08, and Matt's score of 69 has remained unchanged across the final three editions?
  • ... Daniel Miller called formal dibs on Evan's iOS sticker collection on 2026-02-17 in a message that has never been formally contested?
  • ... the chat's busiest single day was 2021-01-09 with 1,028 messages?
  • ... Kyle Derrick is the chat's Founding member, with the earliest documented message on 2020-07-07?
  • ... Hail Mary (film) has been formally proposed by Evan Bbbender seven times and seen by nobody?

About this project

Hoenipedia is a parody encyclopedia generated from a real iMessage group chat between seven friends based mostly in Portland, Oregon. The text is extracted from chat.db (consolidating across three sibling chat ROWIDs that the same group has occupied through ~22 renames since 2020), decoded out of NSKeyedArchiver attributedBody blobs, and rendered as Wikipedia-style articles. The site is named after "hoen" / "hoeny", the chat's most-used non-stopword, which originated in a 2021 typo by Kyle Derrick and has since defined two of the chat's prior names. The unrelated chat-internal joke domain halupedia.com, posted by Evan Bbbender on 2026-05-13, is preserved verbatim in the Hoenipedia article as a historical artifact of the corpus.
