Mechanical Turks are my favorite trope of the 2020s.

My man!

Surreal to imagine from 2024 POV.

Modern fast fashion allows literally everyone you see to wear stupid fad garbage of the week, every week. The only difference between then and now is the absence of homogeneity. There are just too many fads to chase

Depends on the context. If they start out with a speech about revenge, use it as a demonstration of their work, or make it a goofy play on 90s hacking, it could be fun for the right person at the right time.

But if they went into it saying “I’m such a little tendieslut. God, I can’t wait to steal some chicken. My neighbor blew me behind there *point* when it was still a Wendy’s, and that was confusing because she was just supposed to drive me to my mom’s place so I could get ready for junior league” then their audience shrinks considerably further.

I think most people can agree that Jesus was a cool dude, but the folks co-opting his message to various ends are less cool. Love me some Jesus, loathe me some church/mosque

For anyone that needs to hear it, you can have both. You can live in a free society and also plot to bisect your nearest oligarch next time they go to their favorite sushi restaurant

It would cook it, the springs are hot and acidic enough. You’d just have to sit for a long while. Edibility depends on your allergies and tolerance for poisons.

Sure, but I usually prefer high/low success/failure

Yeah, d10 (1-5 cursed, 6-10 normal), then repeat with 1 or 10 being a reroll. I’m curious what the intent of the character was, whether they’re looking for a simple answer or something contrived like the DM’s answer.

An odd choice on their part is dessalines upvoting every comment that corresponds to a removal or ban. Feels almost as though they’ve Jerry-rigged their moderation code to an extreme degree in order to keep up with the day job levels of moderation they’re doing.

As someone who essentially uses their mouth as a shoe, I feel your pain. Bright side, you won’t receive any more garbage of that specific variety!

Funko pops are the modern lawn flamingo or garden gnome. They’re tainted things, too corporate to be kitschy, and far too uninteresting to be worth calling a knickknack. I instantly judge anyone who owns one for their future contribution to a far-off landfill.

Tyler durden, Walter white, Rorschach, homelander, Travis bickle, Rick, Saul Goodman, Eren Yeager - people tend to idolize the most toxic characters. Serial killers get fan mail aplenty. Particularly weird when the character is a child, but I’m no longer surprised at what people are capable of pointing their admiration toward.

Pretty sure every single one since Tay has been fairly racist. They get around that fact in many modern AIs by forcing subject changes but it’s still fairly racist on the backend. Early “jailbreaking” proved as much.

It would be morally indefensible not to!

Oh shit, there’s a database of the easily influenced with expendable income?

Literally everyone knows that AI is racist. They did this while fully understanding and accepting the implications of their actions. Surely that should count toward a higher fine

All things considered, that’s incredibly recent. It’s essentially modern folklore, and that’s absolutely fascinating to me. Thank you!
