Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? 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 soo 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.

    Another front in the war of the sexes has opened, and men are on the back foot!

    HN: Women are using ChatGPT to catch men lying about their height

    The counterattacks are planned!

    “They” all lie:

    I personally take my job as Photo Detective very seriously, a trait I only acquired from too many dates with people who did not look as good as their photos in real life.

    Double standards!!

    I’m pretty sure if men would use ChatGPT to catch women lying about their body this conversation would be in a completely different tone.

    For some reason The Internet decided that 6 feet was an arbitrary limit, under which men could be just ignored.

    Imagine men deciding that any woman with smaller than (insert random body measurement we can’t affect) could just be filtered out?

    Both sides!

    Women will hate finding out that it can guess their age and weight! It can even guess their socioeconomic group, and if they dye their hair.

    Great, guys can use it too. We’ll see how these chicks react…

      But can it detect Inexplicable Cimmerian Vibes? Can it guess the haplogroup?
