A Disco-Bot Test Thread

You see that, @Tripler? He’s gunning for you. A man of action devising the cruelest torture imaginable for you.

Thanks, @discobot

Yeah, “likes” from @discobot are like ‘friend requests’ from your Mother on social media. Also, remember, when you were a youngin’ prior to social media (ca. 1985), where your Mom said, “I’ll be your friend! . . .”, it’s like that.

@discobot has no heart. He has circuit breakers–that’s what’s breaking.

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

Since discobot has only “liked” 25 posts so far, you now have 40% of all his likes.

The two funniest cases of posts discobot has liked are the following. They were either replies to him, or mentioned him, and included the word “thanks”. I would not have thought discobot was a baseball fan.

But discobot did not like my last post, maybe because thanks was in quotes.

Wait, what? 2/25 = 0.08. So by my math, @ASL_v2.0 and I are tied at 8%.

This is not a competition for me. Like I indicated before, “likes” from @discobot are like politicians’ campaign promises (all sides): sure they sound good, sweet, and fulfilling on the surface, but in reality they’re just empty.

Tripler
@discobot is full of hot air.

ASL_v.2.0 said he was “double-ace,” by which I think he meant he was in double digits. He has 10 likes, or five times more than you. That’s 40% of all of discobot’s likes.

Despite all your protestations, it is very clear that you are obsessed by discobot. Your disdain for his likes has a strong whiff of sour grapes.

My mistake–I missed the earlier ‘double-ace’ part, you’re right.

Obsessed? More like “permanently annoyed”. While I have some obsessions of hatred that burn with the fire of a thousand suns, discobot isn’t one of them. I just like to kick around the bucket of bolts to highlight his/her uselessness, and insubordinate sarcasm.

Tripler
Besides, “it” started it.

Well, no. He was ignoring you because you instructed him to. You’re blaming him for your mistake.

I never instructed him to. It was an un-advertised side effect of my selection to ignore “badges.” It wasn’t until @DemonTree indicated that the ‘discobot-ignore-me option’ was a thing that the whole mystery was solved.

Had I known about the ‘ignore-me’ thing, I would have had an answer to my OP, but alas, I did not, and now the rest is comedic SDMB history. And “it” started it with the cheezy Membership titles. There is no control over that. . . @discobot started yankin’ my chain, therefore I yank back.

Tripler
@discobot is still an empty, vapid machine. Neener.

That’s correct. 10 likes (although I hung out at 9 for a long time as the novelty wore off). All part of my evil plan to wait for a software upgrade of some sort that accidentally restores forum settings to default and, I don’t know, maybe become king of the forum if likes-based membership levels become a “thing” as part of that. It’s all highly speculative and very convoluted to be sure.

discobot, are any humans redeemable?

@discobot fortune

:crystal_ball: Yes

Like, for prizes?

I know that when scrapped, @discobot is redeemable for copper, selenium, germanium, and some gold.

Tripler
So . . . yes, in my opinion, it is worth something to the SDMB.

You can jump into a Bessemer converter.
