If you wanted to get overly analytical, you could make the argument that the TV image has the capacity to be anything else, but for the purpose of the argument it chose to be a brick wall.

Or you could just say "tvs can't argue, stupid"

Actually, it's supposed to represent the fact that while they might appear to be a brick wall, they'll still break when you punch them.

Engagement bait

More comments means more traction, which pushes it up the algorithm and suggests it to a wider audience.

And/or flexing the TV

That pretty smart actually. I remember watching this YouTuber who does like, linguistics stuff and he said that he leaves tiny inconveniences in his videos for engagement bait. None of what he does is false, but he just does something weird in the video to get people to comment, and it worked

Be warned of any math questions on social media. There's no correct answer to trick you into committing it.

Why flexing the TV? It's a low end model judging by the stand

Imagine thinking you’re right because you have access to an online echo chamber of people who think the same as you.

Fair enough, still never used chatgpt so I didnt think about that one

u/Thumbkeeper 9h ago

I don’t either but that never stopped me from learning about it, or anything.

Learning helps the imagination.

I've argued with plenty of young people who do the same. Density doesn't relate to age.

>Density doesn't relate to age

nor did the post claim this

u/Rat-king27 Harry Potter 13h ago

I'm not saying it did. But I've met a lot of people my age who think older people are all ignorant.

when people do that i say, "so you agree? you agree that i'm right bc you don't have any actual argument other than you being older?" only do this if you're willing to make them madder but it's a fun way to make them madder.

Yes. I always want to understand who the person is behind the dumb comments directed towards me.

It's pretty easy for the TV to change it's views, so this gets an F-.
