Advertisement for whatever slrpnk dot net is trying to sell?
I definitely have friends who I know are a lot better at this kind of stuff than I am (mostly because they get less anxious over what happens if they screw up but…). I have never seen a difference once the tv is mounted because… you can’t see the fricking mount once the TV is mounted.
I dunno. I also kind of have problems with the underlying premise too. Yes, toxic masculinity is a massive problem and people very much do not realize how few “male role models” there are for kids who aren’t bald human traffickers and the people who sniff their chairs. But “Hey dude, I see you are a super masculine strong man with a bubble level” is not the answer.
The answer is to teach kids they don’t NEED role models that fit the same gender roles they do (or, more often, their parents think they should). An athlete is an athlete and a smart person is a smart person. Same with being “handy”. This is a lesson girls/“girls” were forced to learn long ago and is one boys/“boys” would benefit from. Because then you don’t need to say “Well, I like what this person is saying but they have the wrong genitalia and aren’t muscular enough”.
This is the internet. Always assume people are selling something.
In this case? MAYBE it is someone advertising their handyman service (doubtful because this is a nonsense premise). More likely? It is the same as all those posts about the fucking aligator or puppy and all the ai generated jesus missing a leg and wearing a military uniform pictures where people say “Why don’t these posts ever go viral”? It is nonsense that boomers stare at and share.
Which in and of themselves are “harmless”. But when the metrics for those posts get high enough? THAT is when the owner of those bots post ads.
Screenshotting with no citation kind of undermines that so… good? But it is important to understand why content like this exists.

That’s another lemmy instance.
Knew that part but figured it was an article based on the link. Apparently just a picture of a facebook post.
So… no idea what that facebook post was trying to sell but I guess this is why all that AI nonsense is spammed endlessly on that site.
They’re not trying to sell anything.

Take off the tinfoil hat and go touch some grass.
You are wildly naive if you view things this way
