Want to wade into the sandy surf of the abyss? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.

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.

(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

        Factor Fexcectorn sounds like a Roman centurion who tried to improve the army’s logistics by hitching multiple wagons together in sequence.

          I was thinking Factor Fexcectorn was the name of a furry OC, with an extensive backstory and a surprising amount of commissioned art. Fits in a fantasy or sci fi setting or both. Oh god am I writing an OC

      “K9: scom”, just need to figure out what scom is.

      But my favorite part is in the upper left, the brain that just says “Autism” and “Autism” around it.

              for years the human experience has vastly exceeded the codifications of mere simplistic scientist narrative, and it has long been known that the standard model was all wrong. in this essay I will
