The well meaning crew at BAR has produced their annual internet nonsense quiz. The dumbest online events of the year is not behind a paywall, loaded with popup ads and cookie disclaimers. TDOEOTY is of limited value, but a writing prompt is a writing prompt.

Which of these is not a real remark she made on Twitter? … I have not done any multiple choice questions yet, and I am morally required to do at least one. Since the last four letters of morally are ally, it would be best to choose the answer with an -ally. … b. “speak for yourself, i literally want to kill all the men literally” … @sarahjeong is a person of color who says rude things about wypipo. She displays this poc-privilege in option d. “white people smell like unseasoned chicken and they don’t wash their legs in the shower” This is reminescent of a meme.
