  • It’s a waste for MOST people. Then there’s people like me. I don’t have uses for everything I get. They go into storage.

    Then one day, someone is like "Hey, remember MC Hammer? Ha! It would be funny if we could listen to his 1991 album right now.

    And then I’m like “be right back”.

    And then people are like “why do you HAVE this???”

    And I say “I was using it as a doorstop. I needed something I didn’t care about that would just end up in a landfill.”












  • I still find it hilarious that about 15 years ago, the WWE introduced a new wrestling character. His name was “Abraham Washington”. A name that, yes, it is a combination of exactly the two names you think it is. So who did they get to play the role of Aberaham Washington? A black guy. He played the role of a TV talk show host, who legitimately got fired, and this is true, for going off script and saying “Titus O’Neil (A wrestler) is like Kobe Bryant at a hotel in Colorado - HE’S UNSTOPPABLE!” which referenced some 2003 legal issues Kobe had involving a sexual assault case.

    Abraham Washington everybody!



  • I love how even though your answer is “this one”, it’s not based off of angry emotion with nothing else behind it. You make a logical point where it’s hard to make the argument for any other president. It also means future presidents will probably break the current levels as more efficient technologies emerge.

    Notice, the question was NOT “Who’s the most ridiculed POTUS in history by humans?”. There’s a lot of wiggle room for still being correct while also artificially stacking the deck. There’s a little over 8 billion humans on earth. You could create 88 billion bots, and now you’d have the bots united message of ridicule heavily outweigh and thus manipulate the narrative to other real humans.

    “President Tom Smith is absolutely HATED by everybody…everyone online is saying it. It must be true.”

    And now suddenly a real human has made up their political views, based on one corporate entity shaping the online message. That’s why musk bought twitter. You can claim bluesky and mastodon exist, and they do, but in the mainstream they do not replace twitter. Twitter is still the dominant way for that microblog style communication. bluesky and mastodon combined don’t come near their real numbers of twitter.

    But how much of modern day twitter is actual real humans? See where I’m going with this?
