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 youā€™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 cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post ā€” thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this.)

    it is funny as fuck, though

    on which note: I would love to see a kind of ā€œdouble-blindā€ experience where a pile of (ideally, more clever/clueful) muskrats get to interact with felon (without knowing that they are), and then watch the fallout as they all go ā€œwtf is this dumbass Iā€™m speaking toā€

    Iā€™m thinking something in the survivor-y format of shows

    probably wouldnā€™t ever happen, felonā€™s too fucking proud (and would 10000000% rig the game to own image advantage). but in a perfect world where this happened, oh wouldnā€™t that just be some great television

        aww schucks šŸ˜³

        (I have a whole suit of gameshow ideas for felon to participate in tbh; the magic formula is ā€œjust make him do anything at all that requires a tiny bit of specific detailā€ combined with literally anything else, with a 7/10 ā€œoh yeah no sorry the wifi isnā€™t working and cell reception is bad down here[0]ā€ layout. guaranteed comedic success.)
