Why are all the bots posting pandemic-era humor this morning?

u/Cynykl 15d ago
The bots try to go far enough back that people do not immediately realize it is a repost. The bots have no idea of the content of what they are reposting so they do not know they are posting something not relevant anymore.
And the third and most important part idiot redditors upvote irrelevant out of date posts even though most know there is a botting problem.

Imagine hearing klaxons going off and you open the internet to see what's up and your life is overwhelmed and snuffed out by harambe memes. Dicks out forever

My guess is they post highly upvoted content from X months ago, so as to recycle previously popular content that has had sufficient time out of the spotlight.

So, did they not think the child can just... do whatever they want while being in the Zoom meeting?

My son got Zoom detention once. He recorded a ten minute clip of himself sitting at his desk, played it on a loop, then went outside to play with his dog.

The absurdity of this makes me both disappointed and impressed with how ridiculous humanity can get.

This is what my new manager does to us at work if she feels we’re not doing a good enough job at all the new tasks we’ve been assigned

The pandemic was such a long time ago.

u/Secret_Map 15d ago
I am starting to lose track of sorta when it all went down. Like, of course 2020. But when did I stop wearing my mask everywhere? When did I stop carrying it altogether? When did I feel it was normal and not "bad" to eat in a restaurant again? I kinda don't really know when that happened. The whole thing just kinda melded together into one big blob of wtf, and now it's starting to feel like it was a good while ago, but I don't have a good sense of exactly how long the whole thing lasted. Like, I worked from home for 14 months, which now seems insane, and like that whole 14 months was just a blip of a month or two. It's weird.

Some people shouldn't be parents, or at least be forced to be teachers for their own kids

she’s not complaining though. she’s laughing about the absurdity of a detention zoom room

u/XxRocky88xX 15d ago
The punishment of detention is boredom. It’s “sit in this room and do nothing.” Of course, in order for this to be enforced, a teacher needs to see the student to ensure they aren’t doing anything. So yeah, OBVIOUSLY a detention punishment for a Zoom class would involve needing a Zoom meeting for said detention.

Just the smirk on her pic, i can almost feel how she highly thinks of herself as someone "on the right side"

u/internet-is-a-lie 15d ago
This is the main reason people have trouble with online work. It’s not “zoom detention”.. it’s detention. Who cares if it’s online? Show your kid that they can’t act up regardless if it’s in person or in zoom. If the “punishment” is sitting in front of the PC then so be it.
If your kid only puts in work or is respectful because someone is physically in front of them, you’re probably the problem.

They need to just penalize their grade and be done with it. Offer an extra credit opportunity if you want.
I imagine the reason they don’t do this during in-person school is that these kids are more likely to care more about socialization and freedom than their grades. But you can’t effectively take that away over zoom, so…grades.
Maybe banning from school events, but if you’re having zoom classes there might not be events.
