Ten Things I Want To Stop Seeing On The Internet In 2014
Read the original on Slate Star Codex →
Summary
A primarily-comedic listicle of ten Internet pet peeves Scott wants gone in 2014 (the words 'fanboy'/'butthurt'/'dudebro', doge memes, meta-humor, 'lives in his mother's basement', hating on girls with male friends). Several genuine comic set-pieces — the Haskell-writing frat-bro dialogue, the doge-of-Venice riff — with a couple of mild epistemic asides (single-data-point-vs-trend on climate).
Why this score
Quality 53 · Solid. A light, topical, now-dated comedy listicle — funny but slight, in the SSC humor-list band (cf. Search-Terms 52-53). 53.
Claude’s paradigm shift 28 · Slight. A topical humor list, negligible novelty. B28.
Real-world impact 1 · Negligible. Pure comedy, ephemeral. RWI1.
Humor 3/5 · Scissor Statement. Primarily-comedic by design (the gate clearly passes) with strong authored set-pieces (the frat-bro/Haskell bit, the doge-of-Venice riff) but low-stakes pet-peeve ranting — Scissor-tier 3, not Moloch-tier helpless laughter. 3.
