Tumblr post by marxism-transgenderism. "Had to unfollow this one person on here cause they just would not stop making posts about how transfems on e getting periods is just made up symptoms and like, I don't have definitive proof I only have my and others experience but like how do you, as someone who is not on e, who has access to the same amount of studies looking into this with decent sample sizes as I do (none), feel so confident to say it's all just placebo and made up ? What makes you so confident ? Cause I gotta say after almost two years of nearly right on the dot once a month suddenly feeling nausea all week, taking the most unbelievable shits, feeling all my organs cramp, and having mood swings out the ass which always just so happens to line up with when the two people with uteruses in my house also get their periods, I feel like I have more data to work off of than you do" Then someone replied "getting told you're exaggerating and making it up is actually what makes it a period" and OP said "LOSING IT".
Tumblr screenshot. Guy here. I was walking a friend home one evening and I mentioned to her that I am quite oblivious about when a girl likes me. I said "a girl could smack me on the head and I wouldn't realize she was into me". She then smacked me on the back of my head and I responded with "Ow! What the hell was that for?!?" Reply to that post: I mean, he specifically told her that wouldn't work.

Hacker news post, where OP says "I haven’t found near infrared radiation referenced in the article - I‘m using near infrared as a brain hack, by shining a cheap 850nm LED light on my forehead. This has, over the last 2 years, enabled me to code for weeks on end, for 12+ hours a day, with only minor cognitive decline. It’s not something I really want to do, but sometimes it’s useful." And gets mocking replies: "This is the funniest post I've ever read on this website. Either it's entirely the placebo effect, or it somehow actually does something and you're cooking your brain to wage slave even harder." Another says "this is the most hacker news post i have ever seen that doesnt involve Rust."
