i played a schizophrenia simulator in VR about 10 years ago and one thing it did was make stuff look like it was alluding to nazi things (apophenia).

feeling this way lately as occasionally a innocuous ss in a word keeps popping out and i have to remind myself that, nope, not every ss is a fascist "dogwhistle".

i guess if i was living in medieval times i'd be spooked by demon horns or smth, idk.

i read this can be caused by stress and/or lack of sleep too.

if i can't make it better, why not drive it ad absurdum? *every* double consonant is a dogwhistle now.

@lritter i really dislike the outsized effort people put into "educating" everyone of the latest fash dog whistles because not only in the time since i've learned them i've caught exactly zero fash with it, now i feel self conscious about my birth year and mentioning the number of keys in a standard piano, certain common angular measurements, abbreviating Subsurface Scattering, and many other things

@aeva haha yes

@aeva @lritter new underground french resistance dogwhistle just dropped, "th"
