You were able to look at my settings. I _ **know** _ I have at least _one_ stalker. 🤔 Tripler Waitaminnit. . . are _ **you** _ the one leaving $20 bills under my mouse? 🤯 ---

I hate to break it to you Tripler, but all you have to do to get @discobot to like you is to thank him. ---

Hi! To find out what I can do, say `@discobot display help`. ---

Well, mystery solved. But it was wayyyy funnier when Discobot was being an jerk to Tripler. PS, I am not interested in being liked by Discobot, but I’d like to hear more about the Bluetooth Fairy leaving $20s… ---

> [@needscoffee](#): > > Wait, how did discobot know you were going to thank him ahead of time? Discobot has very advanced technology. Actually, I think that all you have to do is use the word “thank” or “thanks” in a post that mentions him. Discobot is very easily pleased. ---

There must be some nuances here, since @discobot did not “like” my last post. No thanks, discobot! Discobot’s all-time favorite poster is **ASL\_v2.0** , with 9 likes, evidently because he has been very thankful to him. ---

How come @discobot gets to like posts while none of the rest of us can, unless someone puts a poll in their post? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-disco-bot-test-thread/920497/210))_ ---

> [@Karen\_Lingel](#): > > How come @discobot gets to like posts while none of the rest of us can, Discobot is sort of like Discourse’s version of Tom Bombadil. He is not subject to the laws that apply to the rest of the beings in this universe. My last few posts didn’t get likes, so let’s do another test. Thanks, @discobot! ---

I’ll thank @discobot when he delivers a bushel of beef jerky to my doorstep, and pecks me on the cheek. Stoopid robot. > [@Karen\_Lingel](#): > > Well, mystery solved. But it was wayyyy funnier when Discobot was being an jerk to Tripler. I agree. T’was my thoughts that **discobot** , **SkyNet** , and **WOPR** were in cahoots or something. @discobot Would you like to play a game? > [@Karen\_Lingel](#): > > PS, I am not interested in being liked by Discobot, but I’d like to hear more about the Bluetooth Fairy leaving $20s… You never got a Jackson from the Tooth-Keyboard-Fairy? Man, you’re missing out. Tripler Seriously, I used to get $5s back in the day, but she adjusted for inflation. ---

Not really. . . I got two “likes” from @discobot, just didn’t say anything. Likes from @discobot are meaningless. Tripler I still don’t like @discobot. ---
