Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post, there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

SCP-8008: TIME PERVERT

https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8008

This SCP Wiki entry riffs on our favorite fan fiction extruder cum doomsayer. It is the deepest, weirdest cut, it relies on having some familiarity with SCP Wiki lore, and it is also very NSFW.

I'm sorry.

Okay, that was actually funny, even though I understood zero of the in-world references. Is the whole SCP project like that or is this one an outlier?

I was of the impression that it's just X-files meets bad creepypasta (I remember the one from years back where some paper-mâché statue chased you around when you weren't looking at it) and never paid much attention to it.

@mii @o7___o7

There are also some nicely logically contradictory ones that are cleverly done. One SCP in particular cannot be defined, as the act of doing so changes its nature again.

There's a YouTuber called Dr Bob who does an exceptional amount of work animating and narrating SCPs.
