Anything that filters through the emotional part of someone brain before the logical one would work.

Right? I am not capable of believing in anything harder than I believe in the gullibility of those rubes and their constant role as useful idiots

Conservatives will believe anything so long as it’s said to them by the right person

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

Or denied by the right person.

"The baseless rumors that the Democratic party are partnering with Anthropic to enable men to become pregnant are divisive lies perpetrated by cretins in the Republican party."

  • Hilary Clinton

That'll have them frothing at the mouth in no time

They'd just call the AI woke.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

I don't think it'd be much of a fight. Conservatives get their jollies from hurting others feelings. AI has no feelings, and data centers are just buildings.

So conservatives could yell at a data cdnter "I FUCKED YOUR MOTHER!!!" and the data center would still be a brick building without feelings.

You only have to look at what flat earthers, chemtrailers or antivaxxers believe. Given that, "male pregnancy" should make a nice and straightforward addition.

That that's why Sam Altman (who's gay) is pushing AI so hard. He's trying to get pregnant. Illuminati confirmed.

Preganté~

[-] zorflieg@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Part of the childbirth freedom and democracy act. Did you know that a womb isn't actually needed to give birth. Scientists at the UofT theorize that the organ is a left over from ancient days when babies needed more protection from daily danger. Now in our totally safe society it's redundant and men can just gestate babies in the space between their organs. Of course c-section is the preferred method of delivery but the alternative is not insurmountable.

[-] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 days ago

Well, that's how flat earthers started. Let's fucking go 🔥🔥🔥

We spread a misinformation campaign based around AI forcing you to become a woman

[-] Wilco@lemmy.zip 11 points 4 days ago

MAGA is mostly a group of Boomers that have just gotten the hang of the internet within the last 10 years or so. They are still in the "trolling" child-like phase of using the internet.

However, this is slowly morphing into a conspiracy oriented culture. They tell weird stories to each other and other people pretend to believe the stories and add to them. This is why they seem so batshit crazy, they know half the stuff they say is idiotic ... but they like the reactions they get from "the libs" ... its another form of trolling.

So put a liberal hating spin on the story and it would work.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

I think you're giving them far too much credit

They would use it as ammunition to attack trans people even more, please don't

Conservatism is a top-down movement. Even if they are anti-AI at the start, they will fall in line once their masters (who consist of the very people with AI datacenters) push back. In fact, they will go full pro AI and kill their own town if Trump makes being pro-AI a MAGA issue.

Their personal beliefs are always overridden by those of their masters. They literally support a pedophile.

[-] Azal@pawb.social 5 points 4 days ago

There are some places where the leadership has to turn to whatever their followers say.

Trump did push Operation Warp Speed to help push the COVID vaccinations faster through the regulations and manufacturing.

The fascinating moment was watching him become an anti-vaxxer. He had a speech gently encouraging people to get the vaccine, saying he got it, and said it should be anyones choice but he suggests they get it. The crowd turned on him and booed and he immediately dropped it. After that day he was pure antivax.

It means there is potential to get some nonsense conspiracy from the ground up under these assholes. It's hard, but its possible.

Conservatives will believe anything as long as it's followed by the hastags #MAGA #PATRIOT #WOKE and #TDS in any order.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 19 points 4 days ago

You ever hear of the radio production "War of the Worlds"?

Hell, were you around a few years ago when they were all raising hell about litterboxes in schools for kids who identify as cats?

[-] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I am in no way pushing back that the general public will fall for stupid obvious bullshit, that keeps happening and will always happen.

However, since I find it so fascinating I want to shine some light on your first example. Among historians and sociologists it's widely accepted that the Orsen Wells "War of the Worlds" broadcast did not cause widespread panic as the over sensationalizing newspapers reported. Which was quite common for the essentially click bait reporting of the time. Sure some people probably did belive it was an invasion, but there wasn't mass looting in the street and was a much tamer "outrage" from what most people today belive occurred.

Did sell a lot of papers tho.

Tell them the AI is making their kids trans and they’ll burn the shit down

My son used AI for a night and now he is a cross dressing transgender freak. 10/10 would recommend.

Introducing the Protecting Children From Woke Groomer Computers Act in 3… 2… 1…

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Option 1): AI is genetically enabling gay couples to become "pregnant" by match a surrogates DNA to their partners in order to find their perfect "Gayby" offspring. Allowing gay men to produce a baby with similar genes to their loved one.

Option 2): AI companies are now helping newly transitioned women to have their genes spliced with womb donors, in order to further research into male-born pregnancy. The first baby conceived by two people of male DNA is espected happen to within the next two years, with doctors confident of current results.

Option 3): Men without families are now being targeted by an extremely addictive AI app. The app named Family Now is giving men the customized experience of having a wife, and even a child who looks like them, however some who play the game have reported feeling manipulated and addicted to it.

Honesty I think liberal audiences would be much more likely to be fooled simply due to the left typically being more open to flexible gender roles.

I have to wonder if they would be upset or joyous about this. Conservatives hate women and see them as nothing more than breeding stock. Would they see this as rendering women obsolete or reducing men to women’s roles?

[-] matlag@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Let's try "At last pregnancy for people strong enough to refuse abortions!"

reducing men to women’s roles

It will be this. 100% this. They don't hate women and see them as nothing more than breeding stock.

Conservatives love women, when they also do what they say, stay in the kitchen and "do womens work"

[-] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago

That’s just slavery with extra steps

Yes. Without question. They’re proven idiots. There is no world in a multiverse in which they wouldn’t, that is how fundamentally stupid those assholes are.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
