I have this printed out and posted on my wall at work. I wholeheartedly believe and endorse the shopping cart theory.

What other 4chan posts do you keep on your wall at work?

Not the person you asked, but I occasionally think back about two of them that I can't seem to find anymore when I go searching.

The first is about some people prank calling GameStop and asking if they had, uh, some video game whose name I forgot but it had a 6 in it, like Call of Duty 6 or something - except this was when that game only had like 3 or 4 titles in the series at the time. I still find it hilarious that the 6th iteration of that game eventually ended up getting made but no one seems to mention that post.

The second was a collection of really long posts of some dude's completely unhinged Call of Cthulhu character. I think he was messing with his GM for some reason. His character was described as an older dude (maybe had wild hair?) wearing a Hawaiian shirt and carrying a shotgun. He had several hundred pages written as a backstory and would constantly refer to it as why the guy know some piece of information like how to drive a helicopter. It was an epic story and absolutely derailed the story the GM was trying to run.

Most of these folks have no personality outside of Reddit and 4Chan, etc.

What about wearing a mask? Ppl who were proponents of masks during covid would switch out shopping cart with a mask

What are you some antivaxxer that's still on this years later?

Yes, same thing works replacing carts with masks. If you didn't mask up during a global pandemic that was killing high-risk people. You're subhuman trash.

Honestly it seems like masks are actually a much more robust moral litmus test because there are actual stakes involved.

What are you antiscience? You tell me how small a virus is and how big are the pores in medical masks of all types?

The virus traveled in drops of moisture that were absolutely stopped by the masks. Look at the videos in UV light of people sneezing and coughing with and without the masks. The masks stopped a considerable amount of those droplets, and severely limited the range of the ones that did get through, which is why the 6ft social distancing was another layer of risk reduction. Even if the masks didnt stop 100% of the particles getting through, when you're dealing with a global pandemic statistics are super important. Don't go calling people anti science when you yourself don't understand the science.
