It's high time we get a new designation for wrongness... We got confidently incorrect, patently wrong, woe- and blissfully ignorant but how to neatly pack into two words: you just constructed that whole bit around your worldview, a worldview which hinders you from fully grasping the topic...

Pseudointellectually baggaged?


Like that redditor I saw today, quoting from Mein Kampf, to reach way way out to imply Hitler hated muslims, when in that same book somewhere Hitler expresses his "admiration for the muhamedians", I know that because that is the singular time I have ever seen that word. I mean damn the nazis had a friendship treay with turkey until 1945.


Like I get where they were coming from sure, a totalitarian regime built on such viscious racism would have sooner or later turned on anything that isn't snow white... Still you're wrong stfu did you even read your own quote the relationship is a total reach.

[McTraveller]

I think the term you're looking for is "unfounded certainty."

It covers a huge swath of post-modernism nonsense.

[sodafoutain]

Pseudointellectually baggaged would do wonders, though.

Pseudoineffectual cabbage.

Pseudoineffectual cabbage.

Yum!

[dragdeler]

Yeah... it doesn't feel like unfounded certainty fills the boots, but I have to admit it kinda fits.




Pseudoinneffective is an absolute beauty of a word, I shall strive to live the pseudoinneffective path.

Trolley problem but the one person tied the others down, and could leave his track at any time.

Carpooling?

[King Zultan]

But does it count as carpooling if you tie them to the front of the car?

[Eric Blank]

Maybe as long as you drop them off at their destination

[Frumple]

There's that moment of remembrance that, somewhere out there, there's laws against strapping even willing people to the front of a car and driving them around... because someone actually did it, and it caused problems somehow or another.

Does kinda' make me wonder if you could build a car/car attachment that would make that actually relatively safe and non-horrible of a transit experience, though. It'd probably look silly.

When I was a kid I thought "Holla Back Girl" was actually "Hollow Back Girl" which made me think of eldritch women with gaping holes where their spine and ribs should be, and no internal organs. I also thought this was somehow a metaphor for prostitution, and wondered how having no internal organs became associated with sex work.

[King Zultan]

Wait it isn't Hollow back girl and a song about prostitutes, because I also thought that's what it was.

[Frumple]

having no internal organs became associated with sex work.

I mean, for what it's worth, that connection actually kinda' exists? Or at least improbable internal structures of similar intent; you can see an example in Baltimore Whores (song's mostly lacking in outright vulgarity, but it's definitely NSFW), which culminates with a prostitute boasting about a fleet of ships sailing in to her nethers and getting lost for several months.

General concept is explaining how they take so many varied things into varied orifices, basically, with missing organs being a partial justification. Could swear there's some weird demon-type critters leaning into that in real world mythology, even, though I can't remember anything specific off the top of my head.
