Want to wade into the sandy surf of the abyss? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid.
Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned so many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
@isaackuo
yes, though it’s the extra-ketamine flavour box :D
@cstross @V0ldek @techtakes
@Landa @cstross @V0ldek @techtakes Oh wow. The BOX is flavoured? You don’t even have to open the box. You just chomp it down along with the contents.
This is brilliant! Quick I need to Shark Tank pitch this and get rich quick. And then when the product tanks I’ll pivot to AI and get even richer quicker!
@isaackuo Movers and shakers ain’t got time to unpack, just chomp down on the whole box.
It will make you instantly look like the alphaest of ~~Alpha^WSigmas~~
Lots of fibre too!
@cstross @V0ldek @techtakes
@isaackuo @Landa @V0ldek @techtakes AI is so 2026, Bro, to get ahead of the game for 2027 you need to pivot to Quantum Computing, ideally on the blockchain in an orbital data centre.
