https://copypastatext.com/ask-the-gym-receptionist-if-their-gym-is-based-or-cringe/

It’s apparently an AI-generated copypasta that is based word for word on an actual 4chan post about a gym being based or cringe, but the AI just replaced based with creepy and cringe with wet.

Can someone explain the diff

[–] [email protected] 109 points 4 days ago (3 children)

from the other site:

Creepy is mostly men, wet is mostly women.

When it's mostly men you're just one of many (men) and only the truely creepy guys are considered creepy.

The higher the ratio of women the lower the bar for creepiness drops.

If your gym is very wet just looking around might already be considered creepy. Rules 1 and 2 apply.

Rules 1 and 2 apply.

  1. Be attractive.
  2. Don't be unattractive.

What's always upset me about this is that I don't get to see the illustrated diagram. I want to see the diagram.

i imagine it must have chad sigma grindset for based and soyjak beta virgin for cringe or something

Isnt wet wet because women can sometimes release some bodily fluids when they are struggling, for example in the gym?

I do believe men also sweat

This sentence reads like an alien trying to sound human.

I tried to be politically correct but did not succeed after reading my comment again

This is a ChatGPT generated post based off of if the gym is based or cringe. not sure what everyone else is talking about.

Apparently a creepy gym is mostly men and a wet gym is mostly women.

[–] [email protected] 91 points 4 days ago (2 children)

That’s a weird way to describe the latter

[–] [email protected] 90 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's 4chan, wtf did you expect?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Intellectual discussion of course!

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago

Fair enough, I understand your disappointment now.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think you misspelled incellectual.

That's the type of person who knows a lot about HOI4 and WWII, no?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Strong opinions about military uniform design and style in, say, 1941

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's a weird way to describe both

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago

Men creepy, women horny. Yeah def weird

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago

Ooh... I assumed wet meant their is a lack of ventilation in the locker rooms...

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

Thanks for finding the answer

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 days ago

Me and my friends were literally just making jokes about this tonight and its the first thing I see when I boot up Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

This is so gross.

Wet gyms are usually in basements and on subfloors. Creepy gyms have racketball courts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Not a fan of racquetball? It's awesome!

Yea I could see that. I'm more partial to creepy gyms being planet fitness and wet gyms being those expensive CrossFit giant pool, low weights gyms.
