            Female Gnomes have beards, making them Trans.

            I don’t know what to do with information, but I’m sure a MAGA would have lots of ideas.

              I… …

              I don’t know if having a beard is sufficient to make one trans.

              Also, if gnome women just naturally have facial hair, then it obviously does not make them trans, they just do sexual dimorphism differently than humans do.

        That is a bit of a misnomer since figuring things out requires at least a double-digit IQ and I don’t have one of those.

    Might be the conspiratorial part of my brain coming through, but I’m half convinced it’s not just a stupid person, but an AI that completely missed the point.

    I almost wonder if there shouldn’t be an extension or corollary of Hanlon’s Razor somewhere to account for AI.

          For what ever reason, your assumption that someone would just take it at face value and, presumably, use it incorrectly, made me think of that female redditor that used to call her short brother “a grower, not a shower” in front of people until she learned what it meant.

        I recently watched a video responding to a video about Supergirl. Idiot needs Supergirl to be bad so he can complain about it; his channel depends on complaining about popular movies. He complains that she shouldn’t be able to get drunk because alcohol doesn’t affect kryptonians. Someone explains to him directly that she goes to red sun planets so that she can get drunk, that she CAN get drunk on red sun planets, as was clearly explained at the end of Superman (2025), and his immediate response is “yeah but why drink if alcohol has no effect on her?”
