  • Things I learned this week:
    • Things that go viral with relatively low effort:
      • Hilarious trolling of people everyone hates
      • Surveys
    • (if I’m going to continue tumblring in Lisp, I should do it this way
      • (at least I think this is easier to follow))

metagorgon said: didn’t you already learn surveys go viral when you grouped everything into left/right, female/male, etc and it was used as a personality test?

Yes, and I replicated the study and tested the method myself. Thus, if I ever need to draw attention to things, I should try to formulate them into a survey somehow so people will spread it. This is vital for memetic engineering purposes.
