"I am offering private geography lessons" copypasta

This spamposting trend started at around 10:30 PM EEST (GMT+3) on September 16th, 2023. It all started when OKPR V3 member Glowk posted the following message[1]

@Useless ping I am offering private geography lessons, the asking price is 75 lei[2] per session, and 5 lei bread money. My name is Professor Doctor Engineer Glowk, I am offering reparations, private lessons and cardiology surgeries for a modest sum, and if you're at least 18 years old you will receive a candy from me in person. Signed: Professor Doctor Engineer Glowk

It holds comedic value due to it resembling private lessons advertisement posts on various platforms, amplified by the popularity of private lessons among high schoolers. The members olduser and potaie almost immediately started spam posting this message, with slight changes (i.e. maths instead of geography and a different name). More members caught up to it and eventually admin Szailor locked #bucuresti-general, to no avail as members just started spamming into a different channel. Over the next half an hour, the messages which were being spammed changed from the original "private lessons", to images from bots or supplied by the users themselves, messages saying that Szailor deserves to be owner and simply empty messages.

Glowk, ofer reparatii, meditatii si operatii cardeologice la o suma modica, si daca aveti minim 18 ani primiti o bombonica de la mine in persoana. Semnat: Dr. Prof. Ing. Glowk".

  2. Divide lei currency by 5 to get a rough estimate of what it would be in euros or dollars, in this case around 15 euros or dollars.
