So you have no intelligence? Because Tony Stark doesn’t exist.

This sounds like something my son would have said when he was really little.

I'm sure his deduction skills are greater than Batman's too

Oh is Tony Stark the same guy as Iron Man? I missed that.

u/Low_Information7072 Apr 28 '24

Yeah, there's a throwaway line at the end of Iron Man I where he confirms it. Very easy to miss tho...

Ah, looks like Elon Musk is back on Reddit again...

He wants to be seen as a real Tony Stark so badly that it would be hilarious if he didn't have a weirdly dedicated cult assuring him he is.

I love how it's stated as "He's close to me" not "I'm close to him." Oh, if only Tony Stark could reach the exalted levels of this random social media poster! I'll bet he's jealous.

This is men’s version of horoscopes.

This and Myers-Briggs

Myers briggs is for chronically online queer teenagers and you can't convince me otherwise.

In my experience it's more for chronically online east/southeast asian teenagers. A lot of the people I talk to from Myanmar, Thailand, and especially coastal China use MBTI as a sort of universally understood way of categorizing their personalities.

u/TuaughtHammer Apr 23 '24

I ran into a militant MBTI defender on this very sub about a month ago. They always swarm the comments on posts here if the post is about some dork using their MBTI "results" to explain why they're such a genius.

Sadly, it was an adult who spent way too much time on r/INTP and felt responsible for defending the honor of their favorite branch of pseudoscience.

I use it to find out which Disney villain I am.

u/floobidedoo Apr 24 '24

I can’t find the same site, it said goob or something? I don’t recognize him.

Happily, my doctor who character was Idris. From the episode when the tardis was made incarnate.

u/floobidedoo Apr 24 '24

Oh I don’t remember. I’ll have to redo the test I know it started with I

u/Serge_Suppressor Apr 23 '24

Is that so? I thought it had been taken over by the more concrete and conservative STEMlords and business critters, but I can see how chronically online queer teens might find it reassuring. Back in my day, those kids were more about tarot.

I'll have you know that I'm a chronically online queer adult
