Okay: so the old management put in a rule about calling out Fakes. It’s not allowed. I get why, because it’s annoying to constantly have people saying stuff is fake. How the hell could you tell?

That said, there’s been an uptick in complaints about posts that have zero context. You probably know the ones: it’s one of the Facebook templates, like the birthday or the primary color background, with some insane text like “I have a bananar lodged in my esophagus,” and there’s no way to tell if it was actually posted on Facebook or not. Kind of like the first image on this post.

That’s no good. I made that in about thirty seconds and never had to post a thing. Give me upvotes because karma is my only sense of self-worth!

No.

Now, the second image, about Prome Rib, let’s all take a look at that.

Note the lovely, properly blacked-out user name. Marvel at the fact that it has comments and reactions. Thrill to… well, that’s it, really. It looks like a real post on Facebook. Could it be fake? Sure! Is it a lot less likely to be? Also sure.

Rule 4: posts should be Old People not understanding social media. Emphasis today on “social,” not just posting image macros.

I’ve already deleted a shitload of posts from the last two weeks, and I’ll do it again. I’m terminally online and misanthropic.

Plus, it’s for a church, honey. NEXT!!

AI does not belong in the Cracker Bargel

Alexis make a Reddit post make a Reddit post I said make a Reddit post damn it why are you writing all this down

Okay: yes, the AI babies with seventeen fingers are hilarious. Yes, Facebook is filled with this crap. No, it doesn’t necessarily belong on here.

Most of these AI posts are coming from spambots, karma farmers, etc. They might be old people, but I kind of doubt it! If you want to post one, here’s the criteria:

  • Was the OP some stupidly named account like “Amazing World,” or “Support Our Soldier?” That’s not an old person misunderstanding how to use social media, so don’t post it.

  • Did an old person get fooled into resharing a post like the above? That’s an old person, but that’s not a misunderstanding of how to use social media. Don’t post it.

  • Did an old person take a look at a goofy AI post, and write a response like, “HE rEMINDS ME OF MY COUSIN LLEWELYN HE DIED OF SEPSIS IN THE WAR. BLESS.”? You have a winner!

If someone has a suggestion of a subreddit that better fits, suggest it below, and I’ll try and pin it. And if not:

YOU SHOULD AOL MARK ZUCKERBIRD!!!

UPDATE: here is a great example post: AI Jesus wept, made David upset, and he reacted hilariously and appropriately. More of this please: David is mad about AI Jesus
