    That’s a legit evil advice, but not that ridiculous to my taste.

    1. Start with mass find&replacing by a mask ‘not’ to ‘indeed’, delete all n’t, replace ‘and’ with ‘but’.
    2. Take all groups like [*](*) and change a content of links in brackets to How to play a cowbell tutorial video.
    3. Remove double line breaks to a single one so it’d all be single-paragraph messages with a failed markdown.
    4. Delete commas and replace dots with question marks.
    5. Change register of letters by counting the next letter to redo by the next number in the π sequence.
    6. Do a table of all pronouns and replace half of them to Red Pants, half to Blue Pants to keep it political.
    7. And, finally, end every 13th message with a disclaimer Retired 2023, thirteen year daily forums volunteer, Windows MVP 2010-2020.

    Congrats, your comments are fucking insane and super harmful. I imagine what a garbage it would be to find a genually helpful of empathetic reply turned into that mess.

    But as a lite version of that, first three sentences, would make it confusing enough with being easily recognizable.
