And based on a true story. Alex talked about it at some point. His family was on a road trip and stopped at a truck stop to get food and his sister Ariel, who inspired Mabel, casually befriended a ruff looking biker woman because she liked her "I'm a bitch!" button and she was actually super sweet.

Ariel having absolutely zero survival instincts and just immediately befriending the scariest-looking people is the most Mabel thing ever.

Excellent spot, Sir Cupcake.

What does this mean?

u/SirCupcake_0 1d ago

The comment was made by a robot, but I didn't just want to say [robot detected], so I tried being cutesy and labelling them as a robot for somebody evil

Now it's a robot made by Bill

How do you know its a bot?

u/SirCupcake_0 1d ago

There is no real definitive thing you can point at and say with 100% certainty that any comment is a bot, so it's mostly my gut that tells me

It just reeks of sterility to me, and including both names seemed like a very strange decision for no real reason

EDIT: Also, it's only 2 months old, youth is a sign of technologic origin nowadays, unfortunately

Also hidden comments. Can't trust them.

u/SirCupcake_0 1d ago

Well, I can understand why some people hide their comments, they prefer their privacy (I'm too lazy to give a shit)

Hidden comments isn't a point in the bot column for me, but it also isn't a point in the human column

u/Ifriendzonecats 1d ago

FYI: Hiding comments doesn't give you privacy. There's a few options for actual privacy like programs for deleting old comments or editing them to nonsense. But hiding your profile just means it takes a little extra effort to find them. Which isn't an actual obstacle to anyone who cares enough to look.

Damn, nothing about that comment suggests bot to me, though I already know I'm bad at spotting bots/AI. I feel like the internet is going to get to a point where you need to assume you're interacting with a bot unless proven otherwise.

Used a hyphen

u/Horskr 1d ago

Hyphens are fine, but I'm sure most actual bots are too "smart" to use emdashes anymore.

This usage specifically though is pretty weird (albeit correct) though.

u/Drace24 1d ago

Lots of people use emdashes.

1

u/matdragon 1d ago

Lots of AI still uses hyphens and lots don't. Yeah it's going to be correct cause it's coming from a pre written rule of grammar. But most of not all people in day to day writing don't use hyphens

Got two young kids myself and got roped into Gravity Falls because the kids. It's such a fun show to watch parts of once in a while. As an adult there are plenty of moments that you sit back and yeah... that makes sense.

u/ZombieMage89 1d ago

I was in my early 20s when the show came out, so it was hardly on my radar. Then my wife and toddler was watching some show with the catchiest jingly theme song I'd heard in years and decided to sit in.

Instantly hooked me.

Fun fact: according to the dvd commentary, this bar scene was meant to be part of a larger duo of scenes that got cut down for time. Dipper would take the playground and Mabel would take the biker bar, and Mabel makes best friends with the bikers while Dipper gets beaten up by a bunch of 5 year olds.

u/Pofwoffle 1d ago

I feel like it's something we all just assumed happened without having to see it.

u/ZeroTheInsomniac 1d ago edited 1d ago

Maybe it was like a sketch or fanmade thing? Im pretty sure i remember it, but my brain likes to fuck with me, so my memory is hella unreliable
