Gonna be honest, it's probably gonna take a few months to get back into fighting trim. We're out of practice from peak-r/chapo era, and in general, nicer and more genial people than we were back in those days.
People would absolutely watch this, you just shouldn't over-expose them to Terry Crews like they did with Dwayne Johnson.
I know we're (hexbearians) not technically supposed to do this outside of our own instance, but your general level of anxiety and growing antipathy is why the 'Chapo Posting Method' was created.
It's essentially the online leftist answer to the general question posed by Sartre's Anti-Semite and Jew. If they are not going to take words and the conversation seriously (and why would they when there is no material incentive to do so, it is just a game of psychological aggrandizement to them) then you are under no obligation to do so. There are rarely any bystanders, and if there are, the point isn't to convince them that you are right, the point is to convince them that you are funny, because people habitually listen to people they find funny and make them laugh. And these redditor-types, despite their two second replies ultimately take themselves very seriously so they're easy marks for this stuff. Never be the nerd in the room.
So the poop touching story was from I believe the 2018 midterms. Matt Christman had made a bet that the Dems would do poorly (I believe) with Virgil (Who's Virgil?) and Virgil won because he generally speaking had a better grasp mathematically of the horse-race of electoral politics (which is why he was a wonk about them mattering). When Matt lost, he had to 'touch the poop', which was I believe Virgil's cat's poop.
Details may vary. It's amazing to me that I remember that much.
Edit: it was also done live on-pod. I'd say it's about the closest the pod ever got to 'Adam shitting himself on air'.
This is more of a technical question than anything, but if we post on an instance of lemmygrad, can .world people see it? Or because they are unfederated, they can't see anything we post, even if it is on a posted hosted in lemmygrad? Probably not the correct venue to address this, but I have given this whole federation thing about three brain-cells worth of thought.
