Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

Woke: examining your teeth for cavities before and after licking interesting objects found in nature and getting bonus nootropics out of it
Microbes in my mouth that produce ethanol instead of acid? You are all wrong here, this is ideal. I'm sure it's 100% safe to have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-brewery_syndrome but only in your mouth. Make sure to wash your mouth out with everclear whenever you brush, just to be safe.

'Tisn't safe for me. Incompatible with my prescription medication.
