I get it. I'm not stuffy. I like good use of humor. But this is a very dangerous joke, because it looks very legitimate to an average person, especially if they'r not looking carefully. Just my two-cents.

I had a lot more warning labels on my old site: https://irkutskicetruckers.com/. I hoped it was outrageous enough that it wouldn't appear legitimate, but well, maybe I need to exaggerate it some more.

I haven't been able to figure out how to add them to appear everywhere yet after moving to Substack so I just put it at the end for this one. Thank you, I will try to figure out how to make it more obvious.

Yes, I caught that you tried to make it super outrageous lol. But the claim by itself is already outrageous and I don’t think it’s possible to make it more outrageous. Some things are so outrageous that they recruit curiosity or belief. That was my experience. With Sedes 25 or so years ago. I’m not telling you how to do your thing, just offering my opinion…you may want to throw some more clues in there. Maybe make the “correct” answers in the questionnaire a little more ridiculous. I caught a little of that and some of the answers, but I think a person would have to really know their stuff to be able to see how ridiculous they are. I think making a joke too obvious removes the humor from it, but you might want to make those answers just the slightest bit more ridiculous to discourage belief. Again, just my opinion. I don’t tell humorists how to do their humor. This is just my opinion as an evangelizer. God bless you and your work. I’m glad to have discovered you today.
