Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 18 August 2024
Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting 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: 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.

It's amazing to watch them flock together like this, nature is beautiful 😍
This is what happens in the absence of a natural predator.
No joke but actually yes?
Looks like an opportunity for the DoT to introduce a breeding colony of traffic cones to the area!
I used to wonder if they had thought about deadlock/livelock re self driving cars. Thanks to modern technology I no longer have to wonder. Thanks!
Oh this sounds like a dog I used to have as a kid! They needed more enrichment during the day or else she'd bark into the void all night and get super excited when another dog barked back.
Have they tried taking the waymos out for walkies?
saw a video of this yesterday, that “honk” title extremely understates how fucking dumb the problem is
in the video I saw, those dumb-ass things are literally crawling forward and back in the parking lot, because the one in front of it is also doing it, because…
yes, a multi-car movement deadlock, with a visually clear solution (which any human driver would be able to implement in seconds) that nonetheless still doesn’t happen because….? I guess waymo didn’t code in inter-car communication or something
seriously, find a copy and watch. it’ll give a lovely kicker to your day :>
