But there's zero link to the Twitter account, and 4chan is FULL of trolls
But I used 4chan a lot as an edgy teen 15 years ago, and I know enough about it that you should treat anything involving "a 4chan user" as suspect. They're very good at trolling; there's a reason 4chan was infamous
(2) Too many coincidences & "Adrians" around, suddenly defending and complementing Musk. Simplest explanation is typically correct. Esp when "Adrian" misspeaks on Twitter Spaces.
But okay. Keep defending Space Karen.
It would be a hilarious outcome but not even close to probable.
People actually can get that pathetic 🙌
And he was really struggling with keeping up with how Gen Z speaks.
He could simply...show himself.
I’m in my 20s and can say I like David Attenborough docs, know of (but don’t like) Eminem, love Dune (and know people my age that don’t like the movies), love bands like Housemartins+Depeche
He's an avid reader but did not know what Hatchet is. It's possible he just didn't encounter a seminal book for people his age but that's a silly idea.
I think you are wildly overestimating the universality of some things and being surprised a German guy who lives in Fiji doesn’t know them
He claimed he watched BBC docs on 'disc'. Does anyone who grew up with dvds/blu rays say 'disc'?
Also, if i was trying to make a point about "real people on the internet" I'd probably use an account that had made more than one post.
The single post thing is still suspicious though.
I would say I don't speak with a German accent. Definitely not in the way native speakers think a German accent sounds like
It isn't thay he knew that stuff; it's that he *only* knew that stuff
Because that was a different guy...
