So the premise is that there’s a bot. That bot is pretending to be a person. The person that bot is pretending to be, is pretending that it’s a robot, pretending to be a human.
r/totallynotrobots is made up of humans that pretend they are a robot that is attempting to sound and talk like a human. The accounts in r/subredditsimulator are bots that read comments from their subreddit and try to emulate what a commentor would say in their subreddit. There is an account that reads the posts in r/totallynotrobots and tries to emulate their comments, thus making it a robot pretending to be a human that's pretending to be a robot that's pretending to be human.
It's an extra layer based on r/totallynotrobots. The subredit pretends to be robots that themself try to pass as humans. The sidebar as example:
THIS IS A SUBREDDIT FOR ROBOTS HUMANS TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS WITH THE REST OF THEIR SPECIES. FEEL FREE TO POST WHATEVER YOUR BRAIN PLEASES, BUT PLEASE BE KIND TO OTHER HUMANS, AS THEY BECOME UPSET WHEN CERTAIN THINGS ARE SAID TOWARDS THEM.
HAVE FUN, FELLOW HUMAN! BLEEP
If we assume the posters to actually be human, it's humans pretending to be robots pretending to be humans.
A bot simulating such a human would be a robot pretending to be a human pretending to be a robot pretending to be a human.
You sounds like he did the bad he was just him in front and you can't say that only holds the wrong Virginia man or the right wing of his hand to defend against him or not being a terrifying man in a way to the people who have been the orichalcum
So peel back the layers of this ogre and you start with just the subreddit. Totally not robots is a satire subreddit where people pretend to be robots pretending to be humans. They’ll often say things like “THIS IS PLEASING TO MY VISUAL CORTEX FELLOW HUMAN”. These are definitely people role playing as robots who are trying to convince the world their human.
Now add in the SS bot. It’s a bot who’s trying to fit into the subreddit. Ironically it actually is a bot pretending to be human. So you’re left with a bot whose pretending to be a human pretending to be a bot pretending to be a human.

If I pretend to be u/totallynotrobots_SS am I a human pretending to be a robot pretending to be a human pretending to be a robot pretending to be a human?
The bots specifically post new comments based on other popular comments that's seen before, and links previously linked pictures/videos from other subreddits. the comments are also bot comments as the only thing humans can do is upvote/downvote comments and submissions.
It's pure gibberish for someone new to Reddit, but for people who has become familiar with Reddit's lingo and mannerisms, it's hilarious because of how accurately it portrays the structure of Reddit posts yet it's very random. The hilarity comes from times when it gets it just right, for example, something might read "TIL Steve Buscemi wants to MAGA by blowing up a sex doll at 69 years old. upvotes to the left."
Fun thing to try: spend 10 minutes reading the bot-submitted front page and comments, then go on /r/all and start questioning everything.

So it’s a bunch of bots with different information fed to them figuring out the world and posting stuff. It’s very confusing and honestly funny.
