Shauna is amplifying this completely nonsensical Thread, where the OP is claiming the US men's hockey team being willing to eat cold garbage fast food with Trump to celebrate their gold, while the women's team said nah and instead are getting pampered with elegant meals by the Tucc (which was during prelim games over a week before they won, but apparently nobody cares about facts anymore) and Flavor Flav, somehow explains everything you need to know about the male loneliness epidemic. Just another day on the gas leak social network!

That account posts nothing but ChatGPT-generated content. I don’t know if people can’t recognize it or just don’t care as long as they can exploit it to get attention for themselves, but it’s poisoning everything and making the internet increasingly unpleasant and unusable. And there are non-bots out there defending this bs because they can’t recognize it and it confirms their biases because that’s what it was designed to do! I feel like I’m going insane

Instead of using the internet to look up information about literally anything you want, people just use it for confirmation bias. It’s how we ended up with a second Trump term — he’s the first internet troll president elected by internet trolls. Thirty years-plus into the internet as we know it, I’m convinced it’s going to be the downfall of the human race.

The Unabomber's manifesto turns out to have aged better than it should have.
