A thread for updates on the various ways the internet is destroying everything and the undying hellsites of social media. Let's all laugh at the abyss.
Y'know those women who spend a kersplillion dollars to look like a real-life barbie doll? This is the dude version of that.
It really isn't. Those women succeed. This guy ain't gonna live forever.
I do appreciate him putting his own body through this, rather than anyone else's. For science!

Only without rigorous experimental design, controls, or replicability!
For pseudo-science!
The only bot I like is that one on the Lego subreddit that links to sets when a number is posted.
With this sizable budget (more than $2 million a year), he pays for the food he eats (a precise 1,977 calories a day, made up of the world’s most nutritious elements), as well as the 112 to 130 supplemental pills he takes on a daily basis
Holy sh*t, that's insane.
Also, if you're on Twitter (still), then you, like me, have probably noticed a more-than-slightly surprising increase in various bots in the replies of tweets now.
Yeah, the spam bots are worse now than before Musk took over.

Also, Mr. Beast paid for 1,000 people's cataract surgery, which has caused some minor kerfuffle online.
I think I view this in the same light as I do a similar stunt John Oliver did with medical debt. Whatever I might feel about the squick of this issue being made into #Content (or a broader dislike of Mr. Beast), it's still, ultimately, a good thing because the real issue at hand is that if not for a rich YouTuber paying for people to get this simple surgery for #Content, none of them probably would've been able to get it, which is The Actual Problem.
EDIT: More succinctly -
The beauty of our Capitalist Overlord Production System is that every Capitalist Overlord can soothe their conscience by philanthropy. Thereby keeping things safe for the next Capitalist Overlord.
It's amazing how much solidarity there is amongst the Overlord class.
Is Mr Beast a Capitalist Overlord now?

Internet says he has a net worth of north of $100 million.
f*ck yeah he is.
Actually, commentators put his value somewhere north of $1.5 billion. So yes he is very much a capitalist. Anyone who amasses wealth beyond what a human and its family could consume in several lifetimes is an overlord.
... Motherboard found 4chan members appear to have used the product to generate voices that sound like Joe Rogan, Ben Sharpio, ... to spew racist and other sorts of material.
I mean, you don't really need a special tool for that.
The special tool was a recording and playback device.
Nothing says to me "this guy has the keys to intelligence" quite like saying "way smarter".
I’m following the other guy that said more smarter.
Psh, my guy says he can make you super-duper smarter. Being only way smarter is a way to guarantee a mediocre career.
f*ck I've been listening to Smartless guys for months now and it's not getting me anywhere.
Also, the "For You" tab is just so many of these dudes now:
YES THAT'S THE ENTIRE POINT, DUMBASS.
(not you, Pred)
I'm way smarter because I'm following the guy that's way whiter.
