Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!

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 here 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.

    Idk if this even meets the lowest-quality bar, but I just saw something on Reddit’s Buttcoin sub, and the fact that this is a real headline is making me question my sanity. The future of finance, everyone.

    And the AI-generated image is the cherry on top.

      Decrypt has been trying a desperate pivot to AI, and even essayed a few LK-99 pieces in superconductors’ two weeks

      Aah, the smell of second-tier dipshits fomo-farming on meme stocks by people who likely absolutely insist they “were there for the critical r/wsb moments”, such a unique aroma
