Want to wade into the sandy surf of the abyss? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
In todayās torment nexus development newsā¦ you know how various cyberpunky type games let you hack into an enemyās augmentations and blow them up? Perhaps you thought this was stupid and unrealistic, and youād be right.
Maybe thatās the wrong example. How about a cursed evil ring that when you put it on, you couldnāt take it off and it wracks you with pain? Who hasnāt wanted one of those?
Happily, hard working torment nexus engineers have brought that dream one step closer, by having āsmart ringsā, powered by lithium polymer batteries. Yāknow, the things that can go bad, and swell up and catch fire? And that you shouldnāt puncture, because thatās a fire risk too, meaning cutting the ring off is somewhat dangerous? Fun times abound!

At least it wasnāt a cock ring.
Letās be honest: These are exactly the sort of people who will stick their dicks into the Torment Nexus.
It almost surely has been done, but dare I ask where one can find trashy romance a la āpegged by the basiliskā
āPegged in the ass by a physical manifestation of an online forum thought exercise gone horribly wrongā should be a Tingler if it isnāt already one.
There were some issues with an internet-connected chastity device not that long ago, but they were conventional āwe canāt be bothered to secure our web service, even when everyone is telling us it is terribleā issues, rather than āknob gets crushed and catches fireā. Still, thereās plenty of scope for someone to make one of those in futureā¦ OTA BMS firmware updates are very much a thing, and the market for alarming sex toys is practically unlimited.

(now I think about it, I suspect thereās a market for very poorly secured internet-connected sex toys. someone got off to that headline, Iām pretty certain)
Is your ring even swole, bro
