Subliminal messaging has never convincingly been shown to work outside of specific laboratory conditions.
That said, this made me laugh:
On Twitter—which is now called “X” for some reason
- yvan eht nioj!!!
  
  Superliminal advertising is way more effective.
This is the opposite of subliminal. It's almost super-liminal. This people must think that a punch in the face is subtle disagreement.
- Yvan eht nioj
- Yvan eht nioj!
- Ngl I can't read it until I squint
  
  Depends on what device I'm looking at it on. The thumbnail preview makes the words super obvious, but the full size version on a computer screen is almost unreadable, even if I squint.
- Drink more Ovaltine
- Other way around, people think subtle disagreement is a punch in the face
  
  No, i think it ws right the first time. They think something that is super-liminal is subliminal. That's the big obvious thing, vs. the small subtle thing. So, in conparison, they would think a punch in the face is a subtle disagreement. So big obvious thing vs. small subtle thing.
On Twitter—which is now called “X” for some reason—
Best part of the article right there.
Here's what's really going on
Yeah nothing out of the ordinary
Thanks I guess
- it's clearly a clickbait title
- It's vice, what do you expect.
"On Twitter—which is now called “X” for some reason—algorithmically-boosted blue-check users..."
Words so mesmerising I turned off my adblock
I read the ‘Gay Sex’ as ‘Day Sex’ 🤔
- Fighter of the Night Sex
  
  Champion of the Cum!
  
  Ohhhh ahhh ahhhhhhh
- Ew, gross. Weirdo.
  
  If God wanted us to have sex at day, why did he create the night!
- Funnily enough gay sex was fine in ancient Rome (as long as you were the dominant one) but having sex in the light (whether natural or candle light) was seen as a massive taboo.
  (Amongst the upper and middle classes anyway, I doubt the majority of people cared)
- Day sex fan VS Night sex enjoyer
  
  Skyyy roc-kets in flight!

- I read it as OAY SEX. I kept asking myself... the hell is an oay?
- OAV SEX for me
- They even found words to bitch about twitter being renamed.
