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.
(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this.)
You may have heard that Catturd doesnāt have any fiber in his diet and was hospitalized for bowel blockage. (Best sneer Iāve seen so far: ācanāt turd.ā) Along similar lines, Srid isnāt taking his statins for high cholesterol caused by a carnivore diet.
Meta: Iām kind of pissed that Catturd is WP notable but laughing my ass off at the page for carnivore diets. Life takes and gives.
My favorite part of the carnivore diet is that apparently scurvy can become enough of a problem that youāll see references to ānot wanting to start the vitamin C debateā in forums.
Iām pretty sure itās not just a me thing, but I thought we all knew that sailors kept citrus on board specifically to prevent scurvy by providing vitamin C and that we all learned about this as kids when either a teacher tried to make the colonial era interesting or we got vaguely curious about pirates at some point.
scurvy? what year do we have? maybe they need to include mice in their diet since rodents can make their own vitamin C (iirc)
if they start eating rat, does that technically define them as cannibals? given how much of their ilk become diet targetā¦
I learnt about it because I was so damn interested in sauerkraut.

@o7___o7 @Amoeba_Girl also delicious
So thatās how to translate āYo, this diet is for chumpsā into Wikipedian.
you could say that being full of shit finally caught up to him *rimshot*
Hereās a bonus high fiber diet pro-tip: Metamucil tastes like old socks and individual capsules have hardly any fiber anyway, I eat triscuits and Oroweat Double-Fiber bread instead because theyāre both much much better tasting. Also chili is the food of the gods.
what, are statins woke now?
edit wtf 'sneak did this too? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42800452
Refusal of statins was one of the most prominent anti-medical trends I remember observing among right-wing acquaintences, even well before such people got on the anti-vax bandwagon. To be sure, some people experience bad side-effects (including my mom, at least for a while), but it definitely seemed like a few bits of anecdata in the early 2010s built into a broad narrative of ādoctorās tryinā ta kill yaā
apparently this kind of disinfo was kinda prominent all the way back in 2017? looks like it was fueled by fad diet industry. statins affect something that is not immediately perceptible and tests for that outcome are done only rarely, maybe thatās why
I love how srid deflects by claiming no one has reported bad outcomes from the āmeat and butterā dietā¦ I found an endless stream of anecdotes from Google, like this.
can you imagine sneak, of all people, telling you youāre crazy and probably being right?
Is this why they want to cancel Wikipedia? Because they hate their bowel blockage being reported on?
