Never would I have thought I'd be able to use the phrase stacking bodies in a literal context until yesterday when I stacked 3 dead cows into a pile.

I mean... you're not wrong.

I get a notification for every follow I get, unlike internet celebrity type people like Chyros, I generally don't get follows so it's likely a bot.

If I click on the account it's basically always the same thing:

• Female profile pic
  
• At most 1 tweet (usually none)
  
• They're following 3k-4k people, but only have 30-40 followers (presumably people that follow back automatically without checking)
  
• They've liked a whole range of seemingly random tweets all from random time periods, often in a range of different languages

Here's the latest one that followed me: https://twitter.com/GorumGor

I've been getting 2 or 3 of these for the last couple of weeks

EDIT: If you look at the likes and scroll down a bit, you can see a WipEout tweet I retweeted, because half the accounts also like random things I've retweeted from 5+ years ago - That's presumably where the seemingly list of random likes comes from.

Ah, I see, Well for me it'd be especially easy to recognise because 96% of my viewers are male, so ANY female showing up in my Twitter followers is extremely sus .

She is real. I communicated with her. Sent her 200$ last month, she will be coming to visit me next week

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Cool, ask her what her favourite WipEout team is - She's clearly into it.

[General]

I rather not. I admit, i never talked to her.

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

!?

[General]

Wanted to trick you into interacting with her.

Not on Bandcamp, but still the best set ever made.



Been a busy day but been listening to good music all day fortunately - absolutely overwhelming sense of euphoria for most of the day. I pity people who don't love music.

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Aaaand another bot follow.

[General]

Ask them to leave you a loan.

Noice, moar music for my painting sessions.


Death Stranding is quite weird. It has annoying parts but i kinda dig it now. View is amazing though I wish i had some large high end tv to play it with.

[Alias]

Dark and weird, you say?

[General]

Didn't said dark

But good weird. Like MGS kind of weird. Could have been much better though. Kojima overdo some things. He needs someone to restrain his wild ideas

He's really good, I wonder if that track appears in any of his sets.

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Did anyone post this here?



I find it hilarious that either no-one did or it was so instantly forgettable I don't remember it all.
