Why do people do this? Not the first time I've seen someone comment the title of the post and nothing else. On Reddit, that would've been a sure sign that it was a GPT bot because that's the kind of thing those bots do occasionally when they slip up.

Oooh, that actually makes sense lol. Guess I'm just slow.

Ehh. It took me a while, too, and I wrote it. Seriously though. What kind of sick evolutionary history is that? This is worse than the whole swim bladder thing. At least that doesn't make me uncomfortable.
