Reddit

The only community on the internet (other than Twitter) that will make you feel dirty, bad and morally ashamed for lord knows what. Getting cancelled on Reddit is 10x worse than on Twitter as the downvotes explicitly hammer down on the cancellation, making you all the more visible target for people to cancel you.

After posting a success story on Reddit on how John was able to get loads of Amazon items for free, John immediately got cancelled by the entire community saying that what he was doing was sleazy and morally corrupt. Several attempts to explain the situation proved futile as the hivemind was in full control of his narrative, not John himself. Poor John just wanted to share his success story, but nonetheless got his Reddit account suspended. Too many goody-two-shoes felt like they needed to give John the "justice" he oh-so deserved. In reality, the "justice" made only 0.0000000000000000001% of a difference.

Do your research

An aphorism intended to be used by any intellectual to tell someone to get to know their subject better before spreading outright BS.

Unfortunately, the phrase has more often than not been abused by internet trolls, zealots and narcissists as a hilariously hypocritical thought-terminating cliché. If used by trolls, they will go even further and link the same exact sources that you would have used against them, thereby deliberately angering you even more.

This phrase can also be used satirically, facetiously or sarcastically. In this case that is totally fine.

▼Correct/Benevolent usage▼
John: Eyy bro! Glad we could meet up at the mall. Wait, where's your mask?

Robbie: Eh I forgot it at home, but I figured I wouldn't get covid anyway cause I got the vaccine. Besides there's not many people here.
John: Bro wtf? Do you not know what the masks are really for? Please do your research man.

▼Incorrect/Malevolent Usage▼
Troll: I can't wait till that new Xperia phone comes out! I love that they are using a 144hz display.
User 1: Are you joking? It states everywhere that the display is 120hz, not 144hz.
Troll: Do your research bud. Clearly you must be trolling.
User 1: I did and you are wrong. Trolling?? LMFAO hypocrite.
Troll: *sends a link to Sony's website which blatantly states that the display is 120hz* Here's your proof bud, it says 144hz. How does it feel to be wrong?
User 2: Ugh somebody report this troll please.

▼Satirical/Facetious/Sarcastic Usage▼
Friend 1: Probably the most stupid vine I ever saw was that kid who kept saying 9+10=21.
Friend 2: What?! Are you telling me you don't know that 9+10=21?? Do your research girl! Haha.

Covidiot

There appears to be quite a discrepancy between definitions here. Let me settle this once and for all.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀:

✅someone who refuses to wear a mask in public, get the vax, social distance, or follow other COVID safety guidelines.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻:

❌ someone who voluntarily chooses to wear a mask in public because of COVID (and not just to follow rules).

𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲: someone hoarding essential supplies, someone wearing a mask in their own covid-free home (as seen in many tiktoks), someone who still uses the wrong definition of covidiot.

✅ RIGHT USAGE:
Guy 1: *does not wear mask in a crowded bus*
Guy 2: Hey covidiot! Stop jeopardizing the safety of everyone on this bus and wear a mask!

❌ WRONG USAGE:
Guy 1: *wears mask in a crowded party*
Guy 2: Hey covidiot! Stop ruining the fun and take off that mask or gtfo!

McRib

A reoccuring limited-time burger from McDonald's that ISN'T made of rib but instead of restructured meat products such as heart, tripe, and stomach. It also contains Azodicarbonamide, which increases risk of breathing problems. They also look artificially manufactured and unpalatable when frozen, sort of like styrofoam.

Guy 1: After reading the truth about McRib, I still want to eat a McRib
Guy 2: I mean hey man, it's your choice, I sure as hell ain't eating that

meme person

A really annoying kid whose only words that comes out of their mouths (or keyboard) are stale meme references. Also loves to spam group chats with stupid tasteless memes.

Classmate 1: Yo you know Dustin over there?
Classmate 2: You mean that one meme person who can't go one minute without saying SHEEESH?
Classmate 1: Yeah
Classmate 2: Ugh I hate that kid.

Anti-masker

Anti-maskers are the new anti-vaxxers. They are a new, more resilient breed of stupid that comes in swarms.

Anti-maskers are atypical in that they hold the deluded belief that wearing masks during a global pandemic are somehow an infringement on their "individual freedoms".

This is like saying there is a school shooter on the loose, and everybody in the school is forced to remain silent and hidden, but one student does not remain silent for the sole reason that it is infringing on their freedom of speech. It doesn't take a wise guy to see the ridiculousness in this way of thinking.

As with anti-vaxxers, flat-earthers, scientologists, climate change naysayers, etc etc, anti-maskers often resort to twisted logic, cherry picking, confirmation bias, belief perseverance, egocentric bias, and any other bias/fallacy to curb their cognitive dissonance and defend their faulty reasoning.

They do not get that mask wearing isn't just about protecting oneself, but about protecting others. Therefore in order to flatten the curve, everybody must cooperate.

Hopefully natural selection will get the best of them.

News on City TV: Hundreds of protesters gathered downtown for most of the afternoon on Saturday, calling for an end to the COVID-19 lockdown measures. The group of anti-maskers were carrying signs and shouting slogans, and caused traffic slow downs. Calling themselves ‘freedom fighters’, they say they are defending their constitutional rights and freedoms.

Me: I don't want to live on this planet anymore
