Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 13 October 2024 - eviltoast

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.

    I did not expect to be tricked into reading about the nighttime erections of the man with the most severe midlife crisis in the world.

    he has 80% fewer gray hairs, representing a “31-year age reversal”

    According to Wikipedia this guy is 47. Sorry about your hair as a teenager I guess? I hope the early graying didn’t lead to any long term self-esteem issues.

      Alternatively, he only had 5 gray hairs to begin with I guess? I’m more concerned about the fact that he’s apparently taking time to set a timer whenever he gets hard at night. I don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum, but I’m pretty sure you’re doing it wrong if you’re taking time out of the experience to collect those metrics.

        If he collects enough metrics, he could make a horrendously cursed blogpost out of it like Aella
