The digest
In this episode of Smosh Reads Reddit Stories, Shane, Angela, and Chance tackle the intriguing and often hilarious question: "Am I the Devil?" They explore a range of Reddit posts, dissecting human behavior and offering their unique perspectives on what makes someone truly 'evil' in everyday life.
What Makes a Devil?
The episode kicks off with the hosts pondering the definition of a "devil" in a non-murderous, everyday context. Shane suggests that lying, especially when it involves consciously formulating a deceitful narrative, is a strong contender. He emphasizes that removing reality from someone, particularly when trust is involved, is a deeply problematic act. Angela agrees, highlighting that making someone feel less than, just to feel powerful, is truly bad. They both concur that being rude to service workers is a clear-cut example of devilish behavior, often stemming from the perpetrator's own insecurities.
Angela introduces the concept of the "where's my hug guy" or the "you should smile" person, who expects things from others and feels entitled. Shane adds that people who expect things from others without earning them are also exhibiting devilish traits.
