What's "copium?" Is it one of those meme words (slang, we used to call it) used by people who haven't spent much time reading or writing? Or who can't detect how AI slop is nothing like actual writing? And why do you use the word "honestly" in your terse response? Would you otherwise have been lying? Or is it a crutch that you hope makes you more authentic? Honestly, I'd like to know. And why is there no punctuation or capitalization in your reply? So many questions raised in your throwaway, authentic, structureless writing.


It’s a word people who spend their days on the internet arguing use, and is safe to ignore.

Pretty good internet discourse word actually, cause there is a lot of rationalization everywhere you look online.


Usage exemplified by the venerable "@nrmaggs" and "FoxMcChief", but also Craft Brewed Sports! Honored authorities that will stand the test of time!


aren't you just @getlawgdon on some nerd computer forum? Obviously your ego transcends space and time though. We are so sorry to bother you with our lowly internet speak.

I'm sure your HN comments will be studied as great works of literature for generations to come


It's obvious sardonic humor srikes a deep, deep nerve in your very incurious, reactive being. I'm sorry it took me 8 days to reply to you, but I just noticed you now. It's going to be OK. Your memes and nerdlingo are safe.


Now that sounds like copium about the current and future state of human discourse
