Need to make a primal scream without gathering footnotes first? 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.

Blood and Thunder, Victory at Sea, (...), Scented Candles

I'm sorry what is any of this. I'm scared to click any of the things since I can't even comprehend the content warning.

Sorry! I leaned too hard on the inside jokes. Oglaf is a pretty successful fantasy-themed web comic with adult humor. It's nothing you'd need therapy to get over, though it has more nudity than you'd want your boss to notice if they walked by your desk.

"Blood and Thunder" was heavily memed around a dozen years ago.

If you don’t already know what oglaf is, it takes but a single click to find out

I've been around internet enough to expect "Scented Candles" to be some insanely disgusting psychosexual performance art, not... literal fucking candles.

The deeply amusing thing about oglaf is how often it isn’t porn or even NSFW.

and it's remarkably wholesome, in a way. it's never particularly gross or over the line, it's always oglaf

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.
