I’m literally obsessed with how crazy insane retarded this thread is. It’s off the chain nuts.

I thought it was "off the rails"?
I like "off the chain", though.

As someone who has been PEC'd a few times, I am comfortable telling you I am certifiably crazy.

It's beloved.

How else will they attract your attention to their "simple hack" that is "secret", but they are broadcasting on the internet?

Oh my god; my MIL uses ‘crazy’ to describe every situation, story, current event. I’ve considered providing her a list of alternative descriptors.

Those are the first two words that should come to any sane person's mind when thinking about a modern democrat.

Perhaps ‘crazy’ and ‘insane’ somehow drive clicks?
Per every clickbait headline writer in the world, use of those terms is “massive”!

The internet (especially social media) has homogenized slang for everyone under 40. Regionalism has basically disappeared, and now everyone talks like a cheesedick youtuber.
"That's craaaaazy."
"That is insane work, my guy."
"Ayyyo, _____ is diabolical!"
are all phrases that I hear constantly, all of which need to retired. All of those are basically black New Yorker slang, that influencers have copied and parroted ad nauseum.
Idk if anyone here is familiar with the great southern author Harry Crews, but he talked (in the 90s) about the dying southern accent and how in a generation, everyone would talk like radio announcers. He was close; young people all talk like youtubers.

Louis CK has a bit about this:

I feel even accents are somewhat meshing. Like some parents may have a deep southern accent of some kind but their kids for the most part sound like any average kid online.
But in addition to what you said, it’s this plus people like to exaggerate things for emphasis (and most things are emphasized)

I’d say mainly because of the classic film Weird Science
