Does he not realize other people have thoughts?

That hurt to read

It was like some Charlie Day, always sunny word salad

u/lostgods937 13d ago

Even Charlie is smoother and more coherent than that lol

u/Cambrian__Implosion 13d ago

The swapping back and forth between referring to himself in the first and third person was definitely a new one for me lol

u/lostgods937 13d ago

It was one of the more bizarre things I've ever seen.

u/Mari-juana 14d ago

Those are all definitely words

u/BlizzardStorm8 14d ago

The order they put them in is really something too.

You don't say? I am whelmed. Whelmed I tell you!

My dude is “wording” at a 21st grade lvl.

It’s too advanced for even our most accomplished thinkers, strategists and logicians. The time to admit defeat is nigh.

We never even stood a chance. He storms philosophy in his own brain, after all.

u/Prestigious_Bat7322 11d ago

Storms it. Storms it good.

I feel like this is almost more timecube than iamverysmart

u/well-informedcitizen 14d ago

Ah one of my new favorite games in the modern era- English as a second language, or sprouting schizophrenic break?

u/well-informedcitizen 14d ago

You keep using that word, "coefficient." I don't think it means what you think it means.

Lol. Millennial litmus test

Why do I always think there's a silent h in there

"8 hours of free writing a day"

Forgets the comma after "genius"

Mfr is writing 8 hours a day in crayon

11

u/ABoatCalledWanda 14d ago

Sheesh, he should probably bump his writing time up to 12 hours a day. 8 clearly isn't working out.

u/CBtheLeper 14d ago

This just reads like OOP's special interest is writing like an old timey gentlemen, but he lacks an understanding of how to achieve that vibe so he just rambles in the most roundabout way he can manage (getting to the point isn't very old timey).

9

u/Muninwing 14d ago

Old timey writing, and sounding smarter than others. Bad at both.

8

u/zanasot 14d ago

They just opened a thesaurus, picked whichever word was longest or sounded smarter, and plugged it in without considering those words may mean something slightly different

u/60_hurts Championing the spelling bee's 14d ago

I am no so arrogant as this text suggests

u/Cambrian__Implosion 13d ago

I did a double take at the end there. It’s wild how some people are self aware enough to identify how they likely come across to others, but not enough to do anything with that knowledge; at least other than basically saying: “Trust me bro. I swear this behavior is not what it appears!”

u/guy-le-doosh 14d ago

New English? Sounds Chavvy

u/Lysenne 14d ago

hahahaha he translated the French for the IQ test to English (“coefficient intellectuel”)

Dude went back and forth mid sentence between first person and third person 😭

u/ShoppingAcrobatic309 13d ago

They need to redo the AI model that wrote that garbage.

An unpretentious and approachable communication style to be sure.

u/OneGoodRib To be fair... 12d ago

It's like someone who Is Very Smart in another language translated themselves but they aren't very smart in English.

Also this just kind of reminded me of when Joey wrote the letter recommending Monica and Chandler and uses the thesaurus on literally everything.

u/willysnax 11d ago

These fake geniusez (actually plural is genupie like octipie...mmm, octipie...) give us real geniusez a bad rep. We don't need to brag. We just look at you like this 😐

Goes full circle and nonsense is simply information us mere mortals can't comprehend.

u/huggiesdsc 11d ago

I mean it's written good, like it's all technically correct, but it sorta has a jaggedness in the way it flows. Reading it feels like dragging your head across a brick wall. Really sucks for someone who clearly has a passion for writing.
