Unfortunately for everyone alive, it's probably Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality

    it's wild how it fueled big yud's rise to fame and tangentially spawned a death cult considering how catastrophically bad the writing is

    I hate that there's a direct line from a rationalist freak writing harry potter fan fiction to me having to drag a mattress around in the middle of the night last night because the google AI told my dad the wrong location for bulk trash pickup.
