what kind of idiocy is this question?
Do you stand or sit to wipe your bum?
The question has been doing the rounds on podcasts and social media, and now YouGov has the answer:
Stand: 34%
Sit: 57%

Better tell the boy not to wear his lanyard to school tomorrow, even though he cannot get in without it. I'd hate for him to grow up to be a technocratic manager.

Low Effort Rage Bait would be a good band name
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
