The original wifejak memes were wholesome. They were things that were often mildly frustrating about women, but in an endearing way that would make you want to get a wife if anything. Quickly, they became yet another avenue for hackneyed "I hate my wife" slop. This new Truman Show version of wifejak has gone through the exact same process, perhaps even faster. The first one I saw (image attached) was about how women seem to be able to find things in the fridge instantly while men struggle. There was no bitterness, it was just sweet. Within a few days, most of the meme variants I saw were like the one in the quoted post. Not rabidly bitter, but not endearing either. You can see the meme devolving into resentment. Now of course, this is just normal degradation of memes towards the lowest common denominator. But there's something depressing about the fact that the lowest common denominator seems to be bitterness.



Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

I understand the oracle problem is very difficult for Opinion Markets but why can't google search trends be the baseline? Would love to chat with anyone building a product allowing you to trade google trends.
