The title says it all really. Ok, it says _nothing_, but it’s the point of this thread. Many of you have seen this before. If it doesn’t qualify as a meme, it’s sure up there as a contender for being one. So, are these the writings of a mad man, a bot, a person with limited English skills…? ---

Other: I have no idea - could be any of several listed options, or something else. Anything, except coherent English. ---

It was intriguing and made sense to _you_, therefore I tried to ken it. Glad to see you’re not that far out there, tho. 🙂 ---

There’s no “this looks like a spam email subject line” option, so I went with bot. ---

Yes, exactly! As a native English speaker, it seems like I should be able to understand it, but I just can’t, quite…maybe if I just listen _harder_… I wonder if that’s what it’s like for stroke victims who lose receptive speech. How disorienting and frustrating! ---

I machine-translated this to German, then to French, then back to English, and that makes it much clearer: “If none have been far even if everyone decides, look at the use of still want to go to like?” ---

:::parsing error 42108::: To really interpret a likely scenario would require more context. Otherwise it’s just a random text string pulled from the aether. But it tastes slightly more machine than human (ESL has MSG). Like something chewed up and spit up a few times by a babel fish or Siri. If I didn’t know better I’d think it was a quote from Buffybot. Buffybot: “You know, if we want her to be exactly, she’ll never be exactly, the only really real Buffy is really Buffy, and she’s gone” who? ---

Some enterprising DJ with more talent than me should try remixing elements of those two together. If someone does do it, I just wanna hear it, that’s all I ask!
