Featured Story Kitchen Nightmares but Gordon Ramsay is contractually permitted to kill the owner during filming
coauthor

If you've ever seen Kitchen Nightmares, you've run into the same problem I have. The show is fine, whatever, but certain episodes would have been seriously elevated if Gordon Ramsay had been allowed to just take out some of those restaurant owners. I can't be alone in thinking that, right?

Last year we at CYS brought in the New Year with Wholesome Dog's Birthday Adventure. This year... this.

Disclaimer: This gets a little rancid.

A Quiz I made for the Blatant Hell of it All. *CLOSED FOR REPAIRS*
unpublished

I discovered a thing that JJJ wrote. It told me all about this quiz-making shit. I followed the instructions, even though I disobeyed JJJ's opening lines by starting this WITHOUT a basic knowledge of any of that weird scripty shit he recommended. This was low-effort as all hell, don't ever use the classic editor for anything you care about.

AQIMFTBHOIA DLC: THE UPDATE DESCRIPTION

Since some of my questions contained outdated information and I needed to make sure everything was in working order, I unpublished this thing. Since I understand this to be something that generally fucks with ratings, I'm gonna add 5 more questions so you have more of a reason to rate it again. Also, every question now has a stupid answer. These are the ones that are so blatantly wrong/non-answers that they give you negative points... Some are better hidden than others. Aside from most of the endings being revamped, there are two new endings! One is for people who're spectacularly awful at quizzes, and the other is an ending for people who go off the beaten path... By being really  bad at quizzes.

No, I will not add a thing at the end that shows your score. If you want to know your score, you have to dick-measure in the comments yourself. Drill Sergeant Nasty has always been an accurate barometer for how well you did, in my eyes.


Randomly Walk II, The epic sequel.
unpublished

this is a loosely satirical and somewhat more gamey version of the game that isn't really a game. thanks to the creative juices of Bardockwest. The ORIGINAL: http://chooseyourstory.com/story/randomly-walk


WHUPASS ON THE TITANIC
unpublished

In a strange world where World War I hasn't even happened yet, Law and order is the only accepted form of justice. Until NOW.

Enter Mild-Mannered Clifford T. Boot, 2nd class passenger on the world-famous vessel, the Titanic. Haunted by the shadows of his war-torn past, Clifford bought a ticket to the United States of America looking for a new life. But trouble always finds Clifford, and when an innocent widow and her child are kidnapped by a cult dedicated to resurrecting Napoleon, he has no choice but to return to his old ways and save them... Because for some motherfuckers, mass tragedy doesn't come soon enough.

It genuinely seems to be some kind of brain disease. If they didn't comprehend why it was wrong in the first place, they just gormlessly repeat themselves and never give up their stupid toy.

CYS Community: "Please stop eating shit in our public square, it's terrible for you and everyone watching. You should really try food sometime. We only eat food here."

This dude: "Fine, you've had your say! And you clearly don't want me to be here anymore if you take issue with my shit-eating ways (it was actually shit-nibbling, in my opinion. I made the soup myself and only put turds in it after I was done.) but let's give the shit a chance to defend itself!"

The Shit: "Everyone in this conversation seems pretty reasonable. As a shit, I don't see anything wrong with coprophagia as long as you're being honest about it. Plenty of well-qualified chefs eat big heaping piles of shit, and nothing's wrong with that! But clearly, there's no arguing with these troglodytes. They just can't see the brilliant brown light of the future shining down upon them."

Next time try scraping the text of a book, with your eyes, and then prompt your fucking hands to write something based on the data you just downloaded. I recommend prompts like, "What did I like about the writing of this book that I want to emulate?" or "What's a cool turn of phrase that I would like to use?" ya bolt-licking clown.

AI cannot 'critique' because it doesn't have taste, or subjective experience of any kind to inform an opinion. It does not think, it predicts. This makes it ostensibly useful if your main concern is checking your grammar (still, don't give the slop generator data if any kind of you can help it.) but in art criticism it is utterly useless.

At best, it can create the most likely average response a redditor will have to writing vaguely similar to yours. Except that's not even true, because LLMs have also been carefully selected for not to write toxic responses, which makes them swing in the opposite direction and create obsequious, yes-man responses that do not have very meaningful things to say. If your writing has a problem that a human would notice, an LLM cannot point it out. Unless the problem is structural, an LLM cannot perceive it. To even say an LLM does perceive, gives way too much anthropomorphization to what it's doing. The thing you are typing into is not an intelligence. It is a combination of a search engine and a text prediction program like you have on your phone. The results are less an actual creation of the algorithm and more like a very small, distorted snippet of a massive, low-quality snapshot of the entire internet. The perceived originality and differences in tone is more or less entirely from the entropy inherent in saving and then displaying this much information this way, similar to the fuzzy pixels and blurry shapes you get when you zoom in too far to a lossy jpeg.

 

Writing according to the advice of an AI might not be against the rules, and it might not be as easily detectable as allowing the thing to generate your text in its image, but it will make you visibly retarded at worst, and sound more like the average of all reddiotrs put together at best, and that's a fate I would wish on no man.

MHD is gonna keep trying to adapt TV shows to a CYS format until she has a smashing success, so all of you better do your best because there's only so many plans in the chamber before we get CYS Maury.

...Bro necroing is one thing, ok in some cases, but seriously dude, that's what you had to say?


CYS HOT TAKES on 2/3/2026 5:44:36 PM

What are you talking about dude I'm pretty sure his neck just did that


Painfully, Beautifully Me on 2/2/2026 10:32:57 AM

I liked this! Speaks to how neatly the rest of it flows that the few lines that break the rhyme or rhythm deal me a bit of psychic damage each time.

That's right kids, use threaded view.

And if you don't, I'LL KILL YA!
