Ruined by Technology Got into a dumb 10 minute argument about whether the ACL and Achilles are the same thing or not. My idiot friend forgot to crop his screenshot before sending it to me...🤦

As a joke once it could be funny but if it was in sincerity or happened repeatedly yeah red flag

Thank you, I was just thinking how I absolutely would have done this as a joke

Can’t speak for the friend though

Especially including the bottom part. It honestly is an excellent way to disarm maybe an intense debate and admit you were wrong.

Okay so if it were a joke, what would you do? For me I think it's also a joke possibility and what I would do is screenshot the fake information but also include some sort of evidence that it was fake, so my buddy would know it's a joke or at least know it's not real and I could hit him with the joke. After all, sending a bunch of lies with no indication it's fake and a joke is mean/wrong.

Something just like the OP's picture would be what I sent. Snip of "info" plus the little blip admitting it's fake info.

In other words this is a fucking shitpost and it's a friend sending a joke to another friend. OP got a joke and is selling it on Reddit as serious for reddit points

With the volume bar in the screenshot as well. There’s no reason to be changing volume on ChatGPT here except for it to also be in the screenshot as a joke

Also the fact that the screenshot IS cropped because the notifications bar is cropped out of the top.

For real, this post is a fucking joke and the OP is too stupid to realize it. The fact so many people in here don't get and are genuinely upset is fucking wild.

Reddit is full of people that have literally zero friends

Yeah sometimes targeted misinformation campaigns against friends are funny but you also need to give them a chance to realize they are being tricked. We once convinced a friend that a barn owl in a cabin we were staying in Colorado could lift up the roofing to attack people at night.

Redditors will end relationships at the drop of a hat. I think once you’ve ended all of your friendships you get to be a mod or something.
