Aids and/or tetnis, totally worth virtue signaling to friends.
Sounds fake af
yea very fake
they probably made it themselves just for a few retweets
Would that even work? Looks like the sticker would just come off more easily
would only work if the blade was on the edge
where you would poke it with your fingernail
Yeah, I can see that.
What the actual fuck is that vice thing? Holy shit!
I'm not finding evidence of the original tweet.
I think its more of an Inb4 meme
Yeah. It's being sold on here without context
It's really not helping fight against fake news by propagating fake news.
Well
The funny part is I 100% believed it
I expect complete stupidity from VICE
@RyeNorth i don't think that was even a tweet but a facebook message.
Which implies that all the people reporting on this are reporting based on a single screencap it seems.
o_o
archive.is still works on vice.com
so either it's a fake screencap, they failed to block it, or they changed their minds.
i don't have fbook so i can't check
I tried to check
I found nothing.
Everyone I saw while checking people reporting on it
I got z-list websites like The Ralph Retort, going on typo-laden articles about it.
They're all using the exact same screenshot.
And no links.
Reporting on it as if it's fact.
I don't think you can even block it
don't archive services desguise the bots as regular users?
i don't know exactly how archive.is does it, but it's not hard to conceive of unblockable methods.
I do know that some websites have on occasion succeeded in blocking archive.is though. NYT occasionally succeeds, at least for a while.
i found stuff from early 2017 on that vice/archive thing... so even if it is a real screenshot, it most certainly is not actually in effect
i miss jontron
There is always a way to circumnavigate those blocks. I use archive.is a lot. When I find one, I run it though https://via.hypothes.is . Archive.is does this automatically for some websites like Vice.
