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

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 24 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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

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.

Not sure what the other site is but this is wrong. the post is AI generated. this is the original

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

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 1 points 3 days ago

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?

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 84 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I do believe men also sweat

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 40 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 77 points 4 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 91 points 4 days ago (2 children)

That’s a weird way to describe the latter

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 91 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's 4chan, wtf did you expect?

[–] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 54 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Intellectual discussion of course!

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 31 points 4 days ago

Fair enough, I understand your disappointment now.

[–] SacralPlexus@lemmy.world 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?

[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

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

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 35 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's a weird way to describe both

[–] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 25 points 4 days ago

Men creepy, women horny. Yeah def weird

[–] frog@feddit.uk 20 points 3 days ago

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

[–] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 16 points 4 days ago

Thanks for finding the answer

[–] Comrade_Spood@slrpnk.net 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

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 days ago

This is so gross.

[–] hedhoncho@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

Not a fan of racquetball? It's awesome!

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.
