It's Tuesday 08/25/2026. Hey, What's Going On!

My mom's still on Facebook so I gotta watch the occasional shit she shows me while doomscrolling, but today was a doosy and a half. She hits me with some version of the reptile replacement theory where she found a video that compiles like a bunch of weird shit happening like Selena Gomez tripping and her leg doing a weird bendy thing, Hillary Clinton behaving weird etc. And she believes it. And I am so.. SO baffled by this. I'm still stunned thinking about this as I am typing this.
I mean we out here get it, we've been thru the "all the celebrities are reptiles" thing, but I just sit in silence as I can't think of a proper way to refute this bullshit. I know it's basic ass engagement bait. But as my mom isn't technologically savvy, she obvs doesn't get it and falls for this shit.
Sorry I just have to vent about this because AAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
She likes to think of herself as not stupid, being able to recognize AI shit and generally not liking it (tho she does show me the occasional AI image still) then hits me with this.
I think people like us who've been thru much worse than the tape of Reagan getting cut up live have a good shield for this stuff... But mane how do you metaphorically hit someone with a table to get them to stop thinking shit? I should also point out at this moment she also loves that show Ancient Aliens, but that's a separate rant I don't want to get into.

Ahh, thanks for the explanation. I’ve heard the term incel here and there, but always just took it at face value. I had no idea that the whole alpha male thing originated from there.
Obsession with sex and hatred for women does sound highly contradictory to me, but I’m not gonna question it. This does not look like a fun rabbithole to fall into. I will agree, however, that this is deserving of mockery and ridicule.

One thing tho: -cel isn’t a suffix. Incel is a portmanteau of involuntary celibate, i.e. someone who wants to have sex but doesn’t.
Codecel should thus mean someone who wants to code but doesn’t, which honestly sounds like what a vibecoder would be.

Thanks for clarifying. That's really strange tho. I don't think of incel as a insult so it's strange to me that you'd mock them. And for the meaning of the new "-cel" suffix to stray so far from its original context.. weird.
