Lol I recently had a comment removed from the bogleheads subreddit because some guy was talking about buying a bit more of their usual index fund purchases if the market were to dump 20% in a day. Someone asked how they'd do it and I said "probably just shift a bit from emergency fund and build it back over the next month or two."

Cue the True Bogleheads ripping me for suggesting "timing the market." I said "this is, of course, fine." And they went nuclear. That comment got removed and I replied to the mod with "You got your head pretty far up your bogle there, bud." That got me a 3 day full reddit ban. Worth it.

For the uninitiated, bogleheads are basically just adherents to a popular passive investing philosophy. I agree completely with it, but it was hilarious to me how dogmatic - borderline religious - they were about "timing the market" with zero nuance or recognition that it's just not that serious.
