Part of me wants to create a user named Hypnotoad for the express purpose of replying to this exchange and offering his services. But it's coming up on 4am and I'm expected to be a productive member of society in a few hours.

Introspection — you should try it

i posted a meme on 196 the other day asking people to please go out and vote and promptly got 55 replies from people who unironically believed this. a solid 50% of them admitted to not reading the post i wrote.
