SDs are cheap these days, 128 class 10 for 9$. Just don’t buy them for OS level writes, logging is ok.

I’m gonna be that guy and say most of this misses the mark. The point of stupid catchphrases is to make it extremely obvious why something is wrong in a manner that is personally relatable to the audience, nuance be damned. Not only does this not do that, it implicitly agrees with the original premise. Let’s look at common examples and retorts.

“Black lives matter” -> “All lives matter”

The initial phrase is short punchy and too the point, but the retorts is as well. Instead of trying to address the issue, it reframes the original to give it a meaning that it doesn’t have. (Black lives matter too)->(Only black lives matter). An effective* retort, but not a cache phrase of its own, lest the person be caught looking “liberal”.

“Global warming” -> “Look, a snowball/Why is it so cold?”

This retort does the same thing by instead taking the words literal meaning and misinterpreting it deliberately, rather than engaging with the vast body of science that backs it up (our actions as humans have caused a consistent rise in global temperature averages which has caused ecological disasters and a financial apocalypse). The retort moves the perspective away from the original wide view point, and directs your personal attention to the “snowball/cold” (it’s cold, therefore it is not warm) despite being incredibly stupid, this comes off as smug to their team, so they are going to repeat it. Excellent thought termination.

“Eat bugs” -> “Shrimp is bugs”

Congratulations to all of you that remember the original lemmy raids and psyop posting, so I’ll go through this one for fun. This one stems from a right wing conspiracy theory claiming that due to impending food shortages all regular food will be given to rich elites and we will all be forced to eat bugs. Uhhhhh??? (Food anxiety, antisemitism?, “economic anxiety”/suffering under capitalism, invocation of gross) Shrimp is bugs succinctly acts as a retort because it reframes the issue. Bugs ain’t cheap (you won’t be forced to eat lobster???) Shrimp aren’t gross/unfamiliar (Don’t tell me you’ve never had seafood). Destroying a global cabal in under three words might take some workshopping. (half point for smug because it is stating the obvious)

“Couch-fucker/Weird” -> no retorts yet …

10/10 no notes lmao. Being verifiably false and still accurate gives you the smugness point off of the bat. “Weird” invokes the gross which reduces support for people that wear spray tan makeup. Couch fucker is both distinct and specific enough to to be remembered, succinct in criticizing Vance’s lack of charisma and hot-topic-esqe makeup, and cannot be easily misinterpreted without ceding the entire argument.

“Go woke go broke” -> Go Nazi get shot?

A retort should be:

1. Be smug/obvious about it. (x)
2. Make the people saying it seem gross/weird/weak. (x)
3. Explain/refute/sidestep the issue. (x)
4. Under 4 words/Writable with emoji. (✓)

I’m much more fond of “Follow your leader” although that’s a general insult for people that are going mask off.

Much more fond of something that is inherently dismissive of the point like “go sleepy, baby”. Always mock the fascist.

We’ve migrated so many times now … what’s one more

nah that one’s the kid friendly. 196 is for antagonizing children and authoritarians

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no

oh but don’t forget clipping and the fact that you now increased audio variance means the 10¢ tinny speakers at checkout cant power it, so now you have to work around perceptive loudness and normalize to speech frequencies and when you get to the shop to install new firmware you see a granny wearing glasses asking “what does the self checkout menu say?” and now you have a new problem.

Mfw the lefty “natural” bullshit peddled by health nuts gets tacit approval from my conservative parents trying to eat “traditionally” aka raw everything.

Honestly, this is pretty much what LLMs and user generators were built for. A couple of the shit post subs (anything with horny on main) already have tooling set up.

For the crowd, the goal is to clog the system in a way that is really hard to filter. You want bad data and also lots of differing types of bad data. Spam shrek, bee movie transcripts, AI generated rants, report a guy called “Lehuge” 80 times with conflicting info, etc. You know the drill.

The website basically tries to discredit fiat currency. I have a much simpler hypothesis.

I mean you’re right, but also, anybody who is an actual mathematician has no idea how to add 6+17, mostly only being concerned with “why” is 6+17, and the answer is something along the lines of bijective function space.

“Gender affirming surgery can be the opposite of health care, supporting what neuro-diversity thinks it needs is often harmful to that individual. For example, you wouldn’t prescribe unlimited sleep for someone with narcolepsy.”

… Brushing your teeth can be the opposite of healthcare. sometimes idiots mistake electric toothbrushes for dildos and shove them all the way up their ass.

1. Gender affirming surgery is healthcare.

2. The idea that trans is “neuro-diversity” is… huh? Do you think gay people as “neurodivergent”?

3. Neuro-divergent people often have to advocate for themselves.

4. Doctors are educated more about the subject than a random lemming and are more suited to making medical decisions. The research says basically nobody regrets it.

5. Surgery is harmful. Sometimes the doctor has to cut you open. But the benefits are often much greater for the patient.
