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 youāll 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 cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

Days since last dangerous humanity ending infohazard discovered by some guy on twitter: 0
did it have sex with him
It told him he was very smart and correct so he had an hypnogasm yes.
(For the people not in the know and who want some more psychic damage, look up Scott and his āI can hypnotise you into having orgasmsā blog posts, the man is utterly nuts, and it is really scary how many people seriously follow him).
Looks like he confused ātantrumā with ātantricā
No shame, happens to guys all the time
If this wasnāt Scott Adams Iād have assumed this was fetish content. Now I donāt know what to think.
Fetish content for the worldās most divorced man.
Is he more divorced than Elon these days? I didnāt think that would be possible
how the fuck would you explain that to humans who donāt have years of psychic damage
explaining these things to normal humans is how you turn them into humans with years of psychic damage, and I support that mission wholeheartedly
an attempt at a summary:
Wait I missed this, he believes what?
Now this is doubly funny.
Content warning for this post, you will get psychic damage.
It is worse, he believes he can hypnotize people over the internet into having orgasms. Here is a link to a screenshot, not sure if Iām able to find a archive link. I think he deleted his blog.
E: a tumblr has archive links but it seems he managed to delete the first post.
Hey, havenāt seen a proof of godās non-existence today yet, thanks!
extreme psychic damage trap
Queasy.
This is quite literally ācreep discovers dirty-talking, thinks itās a superpower even though heās terrible at itā.
EDIT: From Part 3:
Bwahahahaha! Thatās some funny shit mate, Iāve seen many bollocks number straight from between them buttocks, but this is fuckinā choice.
Hey mate, I thinkā¦ I think thatās what most normal people do? I sometimes imagine an action hero standing on top and fighting a villain before the tunnel slams them in the heads but thatās just me. What do you think about, Scott? Donāt answer that. please
On the plus side, this single image does catch one up pretty quickly
I saw people making fun of this on (the normally absurdly overly credulous) /r/singularity of all places. I guess even hopeful techno-rapture believers have limits to their suspension of disbelief.
At risk of being NSFW, this is an amazing self-own, pardon the pun. Hypnosis via text only works on folks who are fairly suggestible and also very enthusiastic about being hypnotized, because the brain doesnāt āpower downā as much machinery as with the more traditional lie-back-on-the-couch setup. The eyes have to stay open, the text-processing center is constantly engaged, and re-reading doesnāt deepen properly because the subject has to have the initiative to scroll or turn the page.
Adams had to have wanted to be hypnotized by a chatbot. And thatās okay! I wonāt kinkshame. But this level of engagement has to be voluntary and desired by the subject, which is counter to Adamsā whole approach of hypnosis as mind control.
Yep, was thinking something similar. Dude just posted a public sscce about the effect addressed in the llmentalist article
(The second c there is loadbearing under original interpretation, I guess)
