    It’s not a virus, and I think that @TachyonTele@lemm.ee was saying that they’d like the study reproduced, not the Obelisks.

      I know that my comment deserved an “/s” since I was playing off of unclear pronouns and the article’s use of “virus-like,” but I felt that admitting that I was in on the joke undermined the humor. I stand by my choice and accept my downvotes for the chuckles.

              “It didn’t pass muster as much as gas” is now my favorite phrase of the week. I’m stealing that to throw in everyone’s faces and act all smug and sophisticated when I say it.
