We used to have "sigs" (big obnoxious images and text below every post). I had a fake link embedded which would put my buddy on your ignore list (this was before people understood what that really was because we were new to the internet).

I missed the screenshot and am super pissed, but I had that Styxnhammer or whatever that fascist fuckhead is called show up in my recommendations. I went through the "not interested" options for hiding it and one of then was "don't show recommendations based on Bill and Ted 3 announcement"

One click and I get fascist youtubers recommended. It doesn't happen eventually, it happens instantly.

During the early internet my friend had downloaded a free2play, 2d turn based shooter, and because the game had been recently made available in NA from China it was not especially intuitive. "ALT-F4 2 SHOOT" got a good chuckle.

I would play this game for year afterwards.

Genuine answer - it's a push for raising awareness by wearing odd socks, because chromosomes are sock shaped and they have an extra one. Honest.

Hey, The Algorithm says that people will go from literally any topic to one of the fascist channels, who are you to judge

Please ignore that The Algorithm is also currently concluding that fascist channels are related to literally any topic and pushing people to go to them

Ok fair enough but that post still doesn’t make much sense.

Thanks for the answer though I didn’t know that.

I honestly thought they were making a joke about them not being able to match their socks.

It doesn't work unless you post pictures of it on facebook to show everybody how supportive you are.

To someone that doesn't have a Facebook to be bombarded with crap like this, it looks like they are saying that people with down syndrome are incapable of matching socks.

I don't see how it would raise awareness unless they also told people. Unless you're wearing shorts very few people will notice, and most people will just assume it's your eclectic style.

that's much too "in your face" the ideal way to show support is quietly in a way that 99,9% of people won't even notice

Neoliberalism is dying your hair blue, and the more blue your hair is, the more neoliberal you are.

(Also, it’s totally not a coincidence that they’ve deliberately used a picture of one of the country’s most famous gay rights activists and one of the country’s most famous transgender people)
