Online Debating Mugs

The First Asshole

"That's enough, boys! Take it outside or online!"

"Well, you don't have a clue about anything, but you have an opinion on every subject. It's a pity that being a facebook commentator isn't a job you can make a living from."

"It's been nearly twenty minutes since I totally over-reacted to something I read online."

Hello, my name is riskyy@ronny5 and I am addicted to comments boards.

My new laptop is nicer than your new laptop. I'm not going to get into a competition about whose new laptop is nicer. The one I replaced is nicer than the one you replaced. Stop it.

The Proust of Twitter

"We broke up. I wanted a proprietary platform - she wanted open source."

'Don't bite. They're trolling again.'

"Honey, come quick! This guy in the comments section just solved the Middle East crisis."

"I had a great weekend... My Grandpa talked about the war again and my Dad about his most daring facebook comments!"

'I can watch T.V. shows on the computer, so who needs a TV?'

"I'm suffering the unbearable loneliness of being right on the internet."

I can't keep up, Randy. What happened, little buddy? You know how I created a hate-bot to automate my back you up in online arguments business? Don't tell me: The Russian troll farms beat you to it. No. My hate-bot became sentient and created an even snarkier hate-bot. Mankind is officially obsolete. For an extra $1, the HB-1000 will throw in racism and misogyny.

"Sorry, Man! I had no idea Alexa would be here!"

"I can tell you about this article or you can just read the comments online."

"I know you're wrong, I just can't get the computer to say it yet."

"How's your lowrider blog going?"

"Not now, honey. Daddy's arguing with strangers about the sexual orientation of puppets."

"I learned my social skills on social media. . . what's it to you anyway you stupid cow?!"

"Whatever the politicians might decide, I'm well prepared because I've got enough hate comments for the next five years!"

"Thank you for participating in this poll, but because your answers do not coincide with your social media rantings, you're obviously lying."

Rudy, be reasonable. We can't have a functioning media if everyone starts putting up their own stories on the web. We need professional ethics. We need editing. We need fact-checking. We need

'Don't internalise that simmering rage -- get it out of your system on website comments sections.'

Maybe Those Bots Can Be Used for Good

"Great! Now I'm torn between whether to post rants on X or Meta."

"Hmm... I wonder what I can find to trigger my self-righteous indignation today..?"

Every man and his dog gets to have an opinion on social media.

Oh no! What's wrong? I tweeted a sarcastic insult about Brian Blount, my nemesis in the race for class president. So? So … the sarcasm didn't come through. All my followers think I was praising him. Oh. Yeah, well sarcasm's tricky online. Oh no! My followers are confused about where my loyalties lie. Oh no! Some of them are calling me a sellout. They're saying they're disillusioned! Oh no! Now they've split into two factions, those who say I'm a sellout and those who say maybe Brian Blount isn't

"They're powered by Internet outrage."

"It's the first law of social media."
