Something from work I noticed today that will unfortunately become the norm.

If you gibbity an answer, you’re regarded as smarter than someone who searched it. The funny part is I’ve actually given it a try, and it’s wrong so often that it actually wastes my time. And, if it’s right and I don’t agree, I can say it’s wrong, and with a 98% confidence level it changes the answer.

Side note, this is exactly why the fascist tech bros are pushing hard to shove this tech down our throats.

    I initially thought OP meant to google too, but that didn’t track for me. Ultimately bullshitting makes sense in this context (thanks urban dictionary), since they compare someone who gibbities to someone who searches.

    Either way it’s ridiculous slang to me, but I’m clearly the wrong generation for it, so I’m glad to know I wasn’t the only one confused.

      I’m clearly the wrong generation too haha, because this still makes no sense:

      If you gibbity bullshit an answer, you’re regarded as smarter than someone who searched it. The funny part is I’ve actually given it bullshitting a try, and it’s bullshitting is wrong so often that it bullshitting actually wastes my time. And, if it’s bullshit is right and I don’t agree, I can say it’s wrong, and with a 98% confidence level it changes the answer.

      I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary.
