Just asked ChatGPT what the social structure of a Wolf pack is and it trotted out all the alpha, beta crap, because that’s now what most people believe.

Yes, Xitter is also my platform of choice to consume non-dumb-ass content...
I think Sigma is more often used to describe misogyny than anything positive, so I'm definitely not that either.
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a mockery of misogyny (or the more general toxic masculity). The Sigma male term was supposedly describing a social outcast who doesn't play the social game but still somehow wins the social game, and thus gets respect and women. Obviously the internet ran with it because it hits the sweetspot of stupidity where it becomes funny
Of course some people actually believe it and use it unironically, but it's mostly about mocking the supposed Greek lettered male classification. Then again memes change in time and maybe it is returning to its original toxic meaning.
Do people just say "type A" personality now? Or describe someone as more "passive" as opposed to "assertive"? The alpha/beta/etc terms are scientifically unreal but it's not like people generally don't know what is being referred to when discussing people's general personality vibes
I tell people there are two reasons I wear clothes. If I didn't: #1 people would be uncomfortable. #2 I am too inattentive to stop it from dragging on the ground.
The only thing I know about wolf socialization is from a documentary I saw where 2 wolves were fucking and the girl wolf's dad came back with the rest of her pack and caught them and when the boy wolf tried to run away he dragged her down like 3/4 of the giant hill they were on by his dick before it popped out. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.
Isn't this the plot of one of those twilight movies
Aren't alpha males and females kind of real in the sense that they are just wolf mom and dad?
Not really, they act more like normal extended family dynamics. The pyramid isn't as linear as that implies.
And if he'd rolled low: "It's the big one."

Also rabbits eat carrots, mice eat cheese, and turtles eat pizza
Alpha software: broken and incomplete software
Alpha radiation: very little penetration power
Alpha Centauri: less than a tenth of the mass of Beta Centauri.
