The word for dying hair is spelled dye, searching "how to die" triggered the bot.
Y'all ever feel like those messages are just to keep their worker drones alive? Like do tech companies actually give s shit? I'm sorry if that's controversial and no i'm not suicidal.
Absolutely, I hate this shit. It feels incredibly fake and overbearing if it’s an automatic/“broadcast” message.
Sometimes it’s designed so that it’s actively dangerous too. I said “Siri, kill me” to my phone and it started calling emergency services. Are they trying to get people fined for abuse?
This is still better than actually answering the question, though.
Dye man, AHHHAAAHAAAAHHH
Fighter of the bleach man AHHAAAHAAAAHHH
Champion of the cloth AHHAAAHAAAAHHH
He's the master of the Tye-dye and friendship for everyone!
Funny, I experimented with DDG, and they gave me a wikiHow with instructions on how to spend your final days if you know you're dying. I guess the search engine makes all the difference.
It could be worse. People use the Reddit suicide report feature to report a post and basically tell people to kill themselves as an insult/troll. You basically have to put that notification on ignore.
This is apparently a MAGA thing that they do.
DYE
Well that was rude.... They just want to know how to die their hair! Reported...

Why can nobody read or spell anymore? Wtf is happening
Yes extremely brand new phenomenon.
Yes, fenomemon, what he said!
Surely they must mean pheromones.
I recently learned misspellings and the pendants who wrote about them is one of the ways we reconstruct ancient pronunciation.
So. Really people who couldn't spell in the past were heroes ;)
I have no shame of never having been a good speller. I went through school without spell-check and I get by, but heck, spelling bees aren't a thing in many languages.
Ya know, because they HAVE a spelling system which they bother reforming to stay up to date, and not 10 in a trenchcoat.
Gen A got left behind on spelling and grammar. Too much of it that they use is automated, they find grammar to be lame, and thanks to our "pass kids or lose funding" system of public schools they all just get to coast through while not really learning much.
Yeah, my Gen A kids can't read at all. They only know half their letters...shameful
Not to put too fine a point on it but whose fault is that?
Danged gen z/late millennial parents not teaching their kids the alphabet before/during kindergarten.
Lol
It's a joke, bro. They're not in school yet. Most of Gen alpha is still very young.
Gen Alpha started in 2010, dude. Some of them are 15 at this point.
And some are still 1. Like they just marked the ending delineation a couple months ago.
Don't get mad at me because you made a bad assumption while trying to insult other people's intelligence. Over an obvious joke.
Do your own math and just admit you were wrong. If the youngest is 1 and the oldest if 15, then over half of them are 0ast the point where they should know how to write and spell at least simple words. That also means most of them are not "very young" and that most of them are school age.
When I said "they are not in school yet" I was referring to my Gen A's specifically. The ones you didn't get were part of the joke that flew over your head.
You'd think someone trying to insult others about being able to read would have better reading comprehension skills.
I would also consider a median age under 10 to be very young in the context of generations.
My comprehension? You directly replied to a response about schools to talk about how your kids didn't know all of their alphabets yet, but somehow thought everyone would get your "joke" because your kids aren't in school yet.
So explain to me why you think that makes sense?
Everyone else but you seems to get it. It wasn't subtle.
No they didn't. That's why ebolapie's comment has so many more upvotes than yours. You really suck with context.

the wikipedia take:
No, but your spelling is.
"Hello hotline? I've been feeling pretty blue lately and thought about dyeing that way. Can you give me any tips to be sure I don't mess it up?"
Gotta remember to use the right concentration of bleach.
