I was reading a few posts in certain sports subreddits earlier, and it's incredible how much of a parody of itself the site has become. Entirely apolitical subjects and news being flooded with people making allusions to Trump, Star Wars and Harry Potter (and the latter two circled back to Trump). Dislike someone in sports? he must be VoldeTrump. These people have nothing else in mind other than virtue signal and preach to the choir constantly, relentlessly trying to remind the world how much of a good redditor they are by bringing up the subjects that make others applaud. Can't enjoy a bit of leisure without having TRUMP VOLDEMORT TRUMP VOLDEMORT TRUMP living rent free in their heads 24/7.

The funniest part is that the OG Soyjak looking guy forced the meme in the first place, Chad and Max were just the first people to be infected with his engineered Mind Virus

On r/okbuddyrosalyn (a Calvin and Hobbes funposting subreddit), I saw a crossover edit with a character from some older Spanish comic.

then saw this:

I remember my high school classmates in the early 2000s saying exactly this. Racists.

While wanting the whole world to "speak English or shut up" may be a jerk-y view, it's not always "racist" as it could just be about how people talk. SJWs see BS everywhere.

Prior to chat GPT and even reddit accounts being valuable enough to age and sell to astroturfers, there were still creative writer types all over different reddit subs seemingly doing it just for fun. Other people treat karma farming as a game just to make number go up. The unidan guy pretended to be an expert in every facet of every science just because he enjoyed redditors worshiping him as le heckin science man. If there's none of the more common explanations fit, there's always just "people are weird". Some people really do just go onto the Internet and tell lies with no motives beyond their own enjoyment.

I thought Unidan was basically an expert on crows and knew a lot of other stuff about biology. His fall from grace was when he was using multiple accounts to make fake updoots so he got banned after making some cringe post about the difference between jackdaws and crows.

The fact that people regularly still fall for GPT's default

layout is honestly just incredible. Redditors don't even have the excuse of "ooh old people can't see AI". Something's very wrong with these people on a basic level.

This is the 1-3-1 essay format that was drilled into our heads in middle school. You write an introduction, three paragraphs supporting the thesis from your intro, then a conclusion that wraps things up.

Basically a big portion of going to public school was taking multiple standardized tests every year to make the testing companies richer. I remember there was a state test with an essay that was graded on a scale of 1 to 6, with 6 being the best. You were expected to write an essay based on a prompt. The test itself doesn't say it, but our teachers made it very clear that a 1-3-1 essay was expected. My class got lots of 4's and 5's and the only 6 in the district.

One of the test prep materials gave example essays responding to a prompt along the lines of "write an essay explaining why smoking is bad. The 6 basically sounded like a ChatGPT response. The 1 was something like "my sister fold she smoker alot" and I never really understood that one.

I love the fact the comment saying "it's just Reddit, chill out it's not like anyone is getting hurt" got downvoted. It's quintessential Reddit behavior. I've got no idea what this meme is but if it's triggering Redditors that much by just being repeated I am all for it. It reminds me of my parents repeating blatantly false facts just to wind us up as kids.

I'm sorry if im late but I'll take the hit as this is some good news if it was missed. The researchers of the AI project convince project previously cited attempted this first on "extremist sites" (I'll take that as saying non-conformist ones) and the AI's had a lot more problems dealing with people who aren't NPCs.

Mafalda is argentian and a communist icon. She is the original pedantic fat sjw. Definitely a character that deserves to be told to stfu.

Some of the redditors called out the OPs bullshit.

"stupid ass trope

fuckers will kill babies for fun but it's okay since they would never say the n-word, wow such character depth and redeeming quality

now non-racist villains are good. bad guy having an "evil limit" is cool

but saying stuff like "guys, at least he's not a bigot" is just pure Reddit"

Click to expand...

Remember their safe edgy mantra. It's cool to be evil and irredeemable and edgy as long as it ain't racist or bigoted! Because you know what? I may be a villain who kills and dismembers babies for fun but at least I respect MINORITIES AND TRANS RIGHTS YOU B I G O T.

Comically obvious Chat GPT written post about the Trump assassination being faked to "humanize him" gets 43,000 upvotes on Reddit. Keep in mind a man with children was literally shot to death at that Butler rally. They are saying Trump had a man killed and then magically grazed Trump's ear to make him look good. Fucking insane. Q-Anon levels of batshit. 43k upvotes and multiple awards.

That's a botted subreddit. I want to believe it's a botted subreddit. This is a botted subreddit and I will not be gaslit further that it's not. A YouTuber made a video on it and included some interesting things.

One such being the strangely high count of online members compared to the overall numbers. (Though, looking at it now, it's just 59 online. I wonder why's that, though.)

Not to mention posts getting upvotes in levels that usually subreddits in the 100K+ to 1M+ achieves, especially one's gaining thousands in mere hours, which is impossible to achieve in a subreddit of 51k+ members.

I feel these are the most possible cases that this a botted subreddit. Let me breathe in my hopium because my God, the guy they hate so much gets more coverage, infamy, reddit posts and attention than any other president in history. Reddit only fosters these communities as long as it's a figure or event they agree to hate on.
 
I've always been fascinated with why Reddit is constantly and consistently on top of Google Search engines since a couple of years back. I thought it might be a form of censorship as I barely ever see any other forums except quora.

But apparently, according to their competitor bing and its AI, Google has entered into a contractual monetization agreement to feed you Reddit slop when ever you search for anything above and beyond any other site.

Its slightly old news but new to me. Maybe for you too.

(it came up since Im doing research for a project and I didn't even query the AI about it directly. Here's to hoping AI's have feels which we can exploit against them)

You're not even told it's an advert yet it's probably all an advert. It doesnt explicitly here state that Google then promotes the content. But I'm sure that's part of the quid pro quo of blocking other search engines from crawling it by scewing the algorithm to 11 to favour Reddit. Otherwise what's in it for Reddit?

When pressed the AI rates the likelyhood of it as "plausible given how businesses tend to work".

Another reason is that reddit is usually the only place with an answer for obscure tech questions since they killed forum culture and Discord is impossible to search. If I'm having trouble installing an old piece of software there's almost always a years old reddit post that answers my question.

The joke of the meme is that it’s utter nonsense that’s sprinkled in sentences at random. Yeah,it’s stupid and immature,but that’s the point. It’s a joke. It’s a meme you dip. But also it’s even more immature in my opinion to get your panties in a twist over it,even more so to cry to janny about it. Imagine being miserable about the yoghurt effect.

Yeah Reddit is a nice microcosm of the internet as a whole. There’s some genuinely good stuff on there, but there’s also a bunch of retarded faggot shit that renders it mostly annoying

Villains have to be "safe" evil and not make them feel uncomfortable in unauthorized ways or that's emotional rape.

This is patient zero. This image destroyed western villain discourse because it equates a villain being a good person with a villain being well written. I can't even think of a single character who has "better motives than the hero" because to be a villain you need to be bad in some way. This image has snowballed into ranking villains based entirely on how noble they are instead of their entertainment value. The tide has turned against it and people make fun of it now but it was treated as fact for years.

So no, it's not a mystery why this new wave of "I love villains that aren't bigots" is coming into focus. It's based on this ridiculous belief that being racist or sexist is worse than being a mass murderer or a thief. Rape is still unilaterally seen as evil though, but only if it's a woman going by how Anissa from Invincible is treated like Voldemort but there are infinite excuses for like, Dracula and his slave harem.
 
So some redditor is asking for what people should do before going on game shows if they get chosen to go on. Reddit's, specifically lolcow Cory Anotado's solution, just take drugs, it will be fine even if you smell like shit.
