You knew this was coming. Since the “Tell me you’re a woman” and “Tell me you’re a man” threads are problematic, let’s try one that we can all join.

Here’s mine: when I come across a bullshit claim, I simply reply “Cite?”

I invoke Og.

I call out threadshitting on other platforms.

Any more?

Oh yes. I was thinking about being snarky and making a topic called “Tell me you’re a doper without posting in this thread,” but I figured it’d (rightfully) get shut down pretty quickly, ignored completely, or both.
