Everybody privately shit-talks everybody. The phone always listens to it and records it. A viral hack that turns all this shit-talking into texts. Everybody in the world suddenly gets a thousand shit-talking texts from their family, friends and associates. Society dissolves.

    That’s… what everyone’s telling you to do…

    Your premise is simply incorrect. Can’t you accept that?

    But, for an example of “huffing one’s own farts”, may I direct your attention to…

    Your behaviour in this thread?

      It doesn’t matter if it’s 100%. Or 99%. Or even 90 or 30. It would still be quite the nuke.

      I think this is dead obvious. And I mentioned that.

      But you can’t get past that can you?

      It’s like you have your eyeball pressed up against the bark of a tree, insisting that there is no forest.

      (That’s what we call a “metaphor”.)

          That’s right. I did. And people who can’t see past that particular bit of treebark for the sake of discussing the forest are what we call… oh, something deeply derogatory. I forget. Use your imagination.

            Why should my imagination be making your point for you? Aren’t you able to do it yourself? I’m not missing the forest for the trees, I’m pointing out that the trees in the forest are dead

            If you say “every X is Y”, and there is even a single piece of evidence against that, you are wrong. Thats just how it works.

            If you wanted to say, “i wonder what would happen if everything people said about others behind their back was revealed to them,” then we’d be talking only about that. But you didn’t.

              I made a post just for you. Well, and most of the people here actually.

                Nah that’s definitely still just for you to continue huffing your own farts

            Yes. And then when someone said otherwise you just doubled down with absolutely no additional logic.

            And when they suggested that your personal experiences might be coloring your views, you accused them of being in denial.

            All in all the “I’m an asshole” energy is coming through loud and clear… Not to mention your very premise reveals that you think it’s normal to speak ill of people.
