The Cunningham's Law Hack
The "we only use 10% of our brain" myth gets brilliantly demolished here. Instead of waiting for help that might never come, this programmer exploits humanity's most reliable cognitive feature: the irresistible urge to correct someone who's wrong on the internet. It's psychological judo - using people's superiority complex against them. The beautiful irony is that while claiming to use "100% of the brain," they're actually demonstrating exactly how our brains are wired - not for altruism, but for proving others wrong. Darwin would be proud - evolution clearly optimized us for pedantry rather than kindness.

Behold the Cunningham's Law hack in its natural habitat! Instead of begging for programming help (which gets ignored faster than my office hours), this genius posts deliberately wrong answers using alt accounts. The internet's compulsion to correct others kicks in with the fury of a thousand suns. Pure psychological manipulation at its finest - exploiting the fact that humans would rather die than let incorrect information exist online. Next semester I'm teaching "Advanced Reddit Psychology 401: Weaponizing Pedantry for Personal Gain."
