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.

(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this. Happy Halloween, fellow sneerers!)

    I was looking for a google thing and accidentally clicked the first link and not the second, so I came to a their FAQ page. And I was told to wait while gemini generated the answer to the question, which made me realize that even google doesn’t cache these things. Wtf are we doing?

        Re-derive everything from first principles when you search for things rather than indexing the internet! Can’t pay for bandwidth!

            Make sure you freeze all the genetic supergeniuses who are involved in the project in liquid helium so that when you discover how to hack reality you can bring them back
