The most ironic part with this one in particular is the amount of people holding themselves up as intellectually superior while failing to notice the obvious bait even when the replies are full of people saying "this is obvious bait."

Honestly, at this point, I don't even think he deserves the blame for this. Like, people do this to themselves; he merely provides the testing grounds to see if they can overcome the outragebait brainrot.

Honestly, at this point I'm pretty sure Jon could preface a post with "The following is a bit", end the post with "What you have just read is a bit" and *still* have people in the comments taking it 100% seriously.

Frankly, it doesn't matter.
I'm just making the observation that you and others reacted to an obviously absurd post by treating it as sincere and perhaps that merits reflection on why you missed it and how you could avoid obvious traps moving forward. But, that's your prerogative.

Well, no. The "answer" is to go "Wait, regardless of my personal beliefs, I am subject to the same flaws of human nature that fuel all forms of outrage media, so perhaps I shouldn't take clearly outrageous takes at face value and hold off on my reaction until I've actually looked into it a little."

Ironically, considering how long Mr. Bois has been kicking around the internet, ChatGPT probably *would* be able to connect the dots and spit out "this is a bit, dude."

Look, I'm just saying, they don't call 'em "finite" because they go on forever.

So, the correct counter is to go with your kneejerk reaction and not take the ten seconds of clicking and scrolling though someone's profile to realize that you're responding to an obvious joke?

Honestly, it's kinda impressive that at least five people read such an absurd statement and concluded it was sincere.

So, just making sure I have this clear:
You're arguing that the times the man said the thing you said he didn't say, he wasn't actually being genuine, even though there is no evidence to suggest that's the case and him saying those things would be consistent with the rest of his thesis. That right?

If you ignore the parts of the video where he said it existed in some form and while release was unlikely, it could happen under extraordinary circumstances. Cut those parts out, and you're completely correct!

Jon, not to nitpick, but you didn't actually explain what's *on* the third aisle! How am I supposed to plan my shopping trip without this vital information?!

Might be worth poking around to see if anyone's curating a mass "here are all the bots" list the same way there's a "here's all the MAGAts" list so that you can mass-block them.
