So this girl is running up an escalator the wrong way and the whole crowd starts cheering her on until she gets near the top but completely runs out of gas. Amazing how fast they turn on her lol

Sheriff Judd also said that Mr. Schulz had a lengthy criminal history, which he described as “meth arrest, meth arrest, meth arrest, meth arrest, meth arrest.”

Nobody thinks this is AI generated content? This reads like male fantasy bait with a nice veneer.
ETA: Removed “incel” since I’ve concluded I don’t really know what the word means.

I just assume every reddit thread is fake.

That’s pretty much the response to all these Reddit threads. That they are fake/ai. I just suspend disbelief. O Cassio ally one seems real.
Fake? Maybe. AI-generated thread originally from 2019? Probably not.
It’s about the friends we made along the way.
The thing is with so many of the reddit drama threads is that even if it is someone pouring their heart out onto reddit, what they write might as well be fake. Thread after thread is stuff like 'my mother-in-law called me a fucking whore for no reason whatsoever, my husband took her side, AITAH?"
The best ones are the threads where OP is trying to do the above, but still leaves in some detail that makes it clear they are awful for whatever reason.

I agree, reading between the lines of these types of stories is supremely entertaining.

Some of them I wish were fake but then they post pictures. Like the guy with the cumbox my god.

Then there’s the guy who says he was a teenager and broke both arms, so his mom asked him if he needed help with anything and they ended up having a physical relationship

There’s occasionally a great non anecdote post like this one about what to do to max insurance value after damage to your house.
The one that stuck with me is the guy who said he was going to try heroin just once to see what it felt like. He kept updating the post and you could see him turning into a full blown addict in real time. He eventually clawed his way out.
I also like the story about the guy who kept encountering crazy things in his apartment, but it turned out he had carbon monoxide poisoning and was hallucinating or doing the things to himself. That was covered in a podcast episode.
Or this one about Kevin, the dumbest student this teacher has ever met.

I’m currently a reddit junkie learning to tailor my feed.
As a maladjusted discontent with a deep yearning to believe, the relationship posts are prime bait for me. News of the psyops that Reddit allowed on it’s users has made me start really thinking about what I want to consume.
Trying to spend more time on NextFuckingLevel and r/composting and less on subs like mildly infuriating.

Fair point. I was conflating AI generation and all karma farming fakery.
Lol I liked when he kept orange Kool aid for a long time thinking it would ferment into alcohol but it just made him throw up.
I also liked Kevin not understanding cats and dogs are a different species.
Haha, that was actually one of my favorites too because of how I found it out. We were doing an assignment on personification and I had people describe their pets using it. (Welcome to America, where we teach personification in high school, I know). Kevin didn’t have any pets but he said his neighbor had a cat he played with sometimes. He listed off like 3 or 4 things and it became really apparent that he was describing a dog. At first I thought that maybe he just had trouble figuring out the right way to say it, but after 2 or 3 more sentences, it was abundantly clear that this was a really big dog. Someone else who lived on the same street put 2 and 2 together as well and said “Kevin, that’s not a cat. That’s so-and-so’s black lab.” Kevin was absolutely floored that A. someone else lived on his street and B. that there was a difference between a black lab and a house cat. Like, I am only guessing, but I think to him…dog and cat were as interchangeable terms as Hat and Cap.
You train and prepare as a teacher to try and find ways to redirect embarrassing situations like a student being REALLY wrong in public, but I was at a loss for how to move on from there.
See for me I want them to be real but the juicy part is the discussion around the post. I just like seeing what lots of people/bots have to say about situation. And of course there’s the dumb pleasure of responses that are just popular reddit memes. Oh look I recognize that!
