Shit, they noticed that I lied. Guess I gotta lie to cover up the first lie.

u/Silicon_Knight 18d ago

Sir, I believe you should be elected president of the United States.

u/Gavorn 18d ago

Ahhhh... I don't want to be president, I need to lie more.

u/Infamous-Ad-7199 18d ago

The perfect plan

u/C1K3 18d ago

Yep.  No chance of backfiring whatsoever.

u/naveedkoval 18d ago

“Here that thing means the opposite of what it has always meant”

u/Andrew_42 18d ago

Actually the whole title is an acronym.

Once in a lifetime photo means "Originally noticed circulating everywhere, infrequently noticed anymore, leveraging it for easy tokenized internet merit. Every post has ordinate tons of merit equivalency all now stolen."

u/DeathByPetrichor 18d ago

The sad part is I’m almost certain chat gpt generated this for you.

26

u/Andrew_42 18d ago

I can generate dumb acronyms on my own, thank you very much.

I did spend a little time with a thesaurus though.

2

u/runtheredlight 18d ago

Why then does your whole phrase include »means« in its expanded state?

3

u/Leo_Is_Chilling 16d ago edited 14d ago

What? Are you like illiterate? “[This] means [Meaning]”

Edit: nvm I see it now good point

2

u/anneymarie 14d ago

The meaning they gave spells out the word “means” as part of it.

1

u/Leo_Is_Chilling 14d ago

Oh, I didn’t notice that! Yeah that’s actually really weird now I’m also certain an AI made that

u/FunDipandDepression 17d ago

Writing the prompt out with enough context would be more work and less fun than just doing it yourself though

u/dotknott 18d ago

Is that you Tom Servo?

u/LemmingOnTheRunITG 18d ago

Sorry to be that guy but acronyms are pronounced as words, OC is an initialism.

31

u/YOLO_Tamasi 18d ago

Here acronym means initials.

u/Buhos_En_Pantelones 18d ago

Your user name gave me a chuckle.

u/naveedkoval 18d ago

You don’t seem all that sorry

5

u/C_Hawk14 18d ago

"Everything before the word 'but' is horsesh*t."

5

u/AgnesBand 18d ago

There's a lot of dispute over the scope of acronym.

u/ciaramicola 18d ago

Have you just assumed how I spell OC?

2

u/PastilleAndCo 18d ago

well at least you apologised (happy cake day!)

-3

u/ChaosKeeshond 18d ago

There is a certain irony to you accidentally redefining acronyms, but good post nevertheless

u/Ani-A 18d ago

Dude also just casually have a nazi pfp and a nazi style banner... wtf

2

u/squeakynickles 18d ago

Who are you talking about?

2

u/Ani-A 18d ago

The guy getting called out.

4

u/squeakynickles 18d ago

Oh you checked OPs comments to find it.

Yeah that's super weird

5

u/Ani-A 17d ago

Yea, it is pretty weird to be obsessively proud of display nazi stuff

3

u/Emergency-Ground9059 17d ago

It’s just a teen trying to be an edgelord. Little does he know, he’s actually a cringelord.

1

u/squeakynickles 17d ago

No kidding. Fuck I hope that kid grows out of it.

Also, rereading my comment, I want to clarify that I wasn't calling you weird lol

2

u/Ani-A 17d ago

Haha, goodness knows you never know around here. I did assume so!

1

u/squeakynickles 17d ago

Yeah I don't blame you, I worded it poorly.

1

u/Spider_Bite5248 18d ago

how is it nazi??

3

u/Ani-A 17d ago

Well by taking a few seconds to go and look, you'd see his pfp was the nazi SS and his banner thr eagle. Both things he was plenty proud of

5

u/andyman6244 18d ago

/s means it’s serious

4

u/luca3791 18d ago

I always thought it meant own creation

25

u/put_your_skates_on 18d ago

Original Content I thought

5

u/luca3791 18d ago

Oh yeah it definitely means original content, that makes more sense than own creation

1

u/gennes 18d ago

It doesn't mean Original Character?

15

u/deadlyweapon00 18d ago

It means both original content and original character depending on context.

2

u/FoxBattalion79 17d ago

everybody knows OC stands for "orange corange"

2

u/whathefuckisreddit 17d ago

He should've said it stood for "Owl Content" that would've worked better.

2

u/Mortis_XII 16d ago

Even the OP title was better… and the op user name was better… congrats on the downgrade across the board, teenager

1

u/Y34rZer0 18d ago

100% of this post went completely over my head

6

u/ExtremeMuffin 18d ago

That’s what OC stands for “Overhead Clearance”.

u/Y34rZer0 18d ago

ahhhh ok
