The word for dying hair is spelled dye, searching “how to die” triggered the bot.
DYE
Well that was rude… They just want to know how to die their hair! Reported…

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.
This is still better than actually answering the question, though.
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?
the wikipedia take:
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!Why can nobody read or spell anymore? Wtf is happening
Yes extremely brand new phenomenon.
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 ;)
Yes, fenomemon, what he said!
Surely they must mean pheromones.
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.
Gen A?
Alpha, the one after Gen Z, which is after Millennials, which is after Gen X, which was named that not because it was the 24th, but because they didn’t have a good name so they used X as a placeholder for an unknown name.
Generations are slightly bullshit tho. Birthdate definitely matters, but it more of a continuum / spectrum than discrete generations.
There’s definite bleed over , and the differences are loose generalities than facts, but there’s definite patterns that emerge between music, fashion, and technology.
Like how gen Z and especially A can’t really use computers or understand file structure well, or that mellennials are the last gen who mostly know cursive. Or how anti bully gen z is compared to earlier gens.
There’s a huge divide in computer literacy between first and second half gen Z.
They should name the next generation gen Y because they missed it. It wont create any confusion at all
Millennials are Gen Y
Generation why is the world like this
It was a placeholder.
Gen Y was renamed once a cultural event/experience name took hold (Millennial). I was expecting the same happen to “Gen Z” but that could still come in time.
Gen α
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.
Everyone expects the LLMs to do it for them
Yes people stopped learning to spell because of a technology from the last 2 years. Ha ha. What fun.
Look at what community you’re in
So shouldn’t you be trying to be funny?
You mean funny, like a clown?
Chill, meatbag. You’re not the final arbiter of what is funny and what is not. Humor is subjective.
Right and I’m subjectively saying you failed, if that was your goal.

Great question — and kind of a loaded one, right? It definitely feels like reading and spelling skills have taken a nosedive in recent years. There are a few reasons people often point to:
-
Tech dependence: Autocorrect and predictive text mean we don’t have to think about spelling anymore. Same with grammar checkers. It’s like outsourcing our brains to our devices.
-
Less reading for fun: People, especially younger generations, tend to read less traditional material (like books or long articles) and more short-form content (texts, tweets, memes). That impacts vocabulary and attention to proper language.
-
Educational shifts: Some argue schools have moved away from foundational skills like phonics and spelling drills in favor of broader literacy or test-focused approaches. Others say students aren’t getting enough one-on-one help, especially in underfunded schools.
-
Language evolution: English is constantly changing. Spelling gets looser, grammar rules shift, and new words enter the mix all the time. Some see this as decline, others as evolution.
But what’s your take — are you seeing this in schools, at work, online?
Thank you for thinking for me. I was afraid of doing that for myself.
(I get that your comment is tongue-in-cheek, not sure everyone else will)
I was about to downvote the AI slop, but your reply gave it enough context that Imma leave it alone.
Ironic that you’re using ChatGPT when the answer is quite literally ChatGPT
Yes a two year old tech broke people’s brains 20 years ago. If chatgpt broke spelling what broke your concept of causality?
People had bad spelling before chatgpt
Bad grammar as well. I see posts all the time where people don’t even put periods at the ends of their sentences
ahem
(the first one is still there, you need to remove it or replace it with an exclamation mark so more people understand it)
Lol. It’s close enough for government work.

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.
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.
Marge Simpson in shambles.
Excuse me, she is an all-natural bluehead. She definitely does NOT have a stash of #56 dye hidden in the upstairs closet!
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.
I once searched for whale song on YouTube and got one of those.
Can confirm - yes. It would look that bad. Or maybe it’s just my face.
It was probably the shade of blue that didn’t suit your coloration. If you really did want blue hair, there is likely a shade that would harmonize with your features better.
This got a literal laugh out of me
Is that the traditional or modern definition of “literal”?
From context, it seems clear that you’re literally the most fun person to be around.
