Worst rankings posts you’ve seen lately?

At least half the posts on this forum are just ranking colleges, IB groups, and occasional “NY vs SF vs CHI” or whatever. Please help me assemble the most brain dead, over generalized, and uneducated rankings and related comments that you’ve seen lately.

Consider posts that have been answered a hundred times in the past, advice that will lead OP down a path you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy, and brainrot that makes skibidi toilet seem like high class media in comparison. Try not to get bamboozled by trolling; earnest yet idiotic content only.

I just want to give the 18yo lurkers on here a chance to see how dumb everyone on here is so they don’t take everything at face value. Self reflection is key even amongst the high finance elite.

I don't really pay attention to the rankings as I know IU IBW is top with Stern a close second.
