TBH, and after reading some of the comments it seems to line up with this how Op post is “duh”, and low effort and thinking about it more makes me wonder if this is botception and that’s why it’s all ringing weird bells and bothering me? The post feels like a vague dissemination of generic information (read bot/LLM) linking a wikipedia article that reads like someone non-human smashed it together (read bot/LLM). I’ll leave what I started as a response before I arrived at this post.
_-------------------------
I think this is the worst Wikipedia I’ve ever read and as a 30(?) year user that has maybe never time to criticize a wikipedia page (blatant bias or trolling aren’t worth the effort), it’s saying something.
It doesn’t list obvious things like sports or any other activity from bingo halls, board games that would probably be some of the most common activities in the world.
Their concept of the phrase seems almost like an opinion that isn’t really applied at anytjing more than an adolescent knowledge of a subject without any source material.
The one part of their writeup I (subjectively) had heard (alcohol being described as an social lubricant) was described as “negatively viewed” though that seems like a limited claim/opinion. Which feels weird and information without any synthesis.
oh I wrote a whole response to this but my instance was down so it wouldn’t send and I forgot about it
I heard the term social lubricant in tharipy and had never heard of that phenomenon having an actual word for it before and googled it, thought it was interesting so I posted to Lemmy.
also I didn’t think about it in the moment but that wikipedia article is indeed absolutely shit. I guess nobody with a special interest in the social lubrication field has come along to improve it like other pages 🤷♀️
Also, for the LLM part here’s my cat to prove I exist
