Feel like you want to sneer about something but you don’t quite have a snappy post in you? 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.

    There seems to be some legitimate research into the effectiveness of anti-aging compounds like retinol, also they’ve come out with some good advice like wearing sunscreen, drinking enough water, and eating balanced diets to promote skin health which reduces the signs of what we usually associate with aging, if you count that.

      so the actual advice is “don’t eat trash less healthy than asbestos”

      there are some people claiming that polyphenols, flavins or other pharmalogically mischievous, promiscuous trash like that that is barely soluble in the first place and shredded by liver within minutes after absorption into bloodstream is the Real Secret To Long Life ™ but it’s really proxy for the not-deep-fried-everything diet, or at least that’s the impression that i’m getting

      one specific strain that boils my piss the most is curcumin peddlers, because they waste everyone’s time and it’s a part of government-funded altmed disinformation campaign (of India in this case)

          seed oilers don’t even have an interesting conspiracy theory

          heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made a great point:

          The furor over seed oils has gotten so intense that on Aug. 15, Andrew Tate couldn’t help but mock people about it: “SEED OILS SEED OILS OMG SEED OILS OMG FUCKING OMG SEED OILS FUCK FUCK OMG FUCK,” he tweeted. “I can tell you losers have never had real enemies. You’re afraid of sunflowers. You legit won’t shut up about it.”
