Dang, these are actually really good costume ideas. I'm kinda thinking of what other more nebulous fears can be costumes now.

[–] RQG@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Misinformation. I wonder how one could make that costume.

Have a shirt with the letter X

Whatever costume you choose this Halloween, make sure to wash it with Torgo's Executive Powder. Torgo's Executive Powder; when your costumes stinks like a Omicronian's feet, only trust Torgo's Executive Powder.

A suit with a pattern that looks like Newspapers but they're all the onion articles.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Onion is satire, not misinformation. Try Fox, or some of the more blatant shit like Info Wars.

It was a joke. They're a satire of misinformation. That's the point. I would NOT suggest wearing REAL news articles in your costume.

[–] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

You don't even need to use onion articles.

... Probably want to avoid the pointy hat made out of white paper

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, it's a showcase of misinformation - white supremacy is a pretty glaring front for that shit. Perfect match imo.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I agree that it's a very strong statement, but actual or facsimile symbols of hate are not appropriate costumes

Come dressed up in a clown costume and loudly and persistently insist you're a politician?

[–] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably someone else's idea...

*semi-original idea made out of someone else's images.

Let's not forget that the actual technology isn't the issue here. The issue is how the training data for it was sourced.

I nominate willful ignorance!

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a couple outfits and accessories I can think of.

Carrying a Google search for "Do vaccines cause autism?" with 9 links to scientific studies crossed out and an opinion article on Fox News circled and highlighted. Perhaps a Bible still in its shrinkwrap.

Let's make these costumes and sell them to end up on the winning side of each!
