If #pluralgang were actually trying to teach people how to fake plurality:

First, go ahead and magically come up with at least 3-7 individuals who share your body. They must each have history, which must complement each other's history in interesting and surprising ways.

You must leave ample room to force new connections and draw new conclusions about your life based on the presence of these people you are only pretending exist. It will be easy, I promise! Each one has to be consistent, and you can't use a cheat sheet to remember how to act.

It helps if one of you likes food the other one doesn't. You will either need to fake hating your own favorite food so that you can fake being an alter who likes your own favorite food, or you will need to fake liking a food you hate when you're pretending to be that alter. Easy!

You will need consistently different mannerisms, subtle if possible. Too flashy, and people are less likely to believe. You must also fabricate plausible doubt about your own existence without seeming maudlin. Don't worry if you've never taken acting courses. This is super easy.

If any of the alters you are *inventing* have a tic or an issue, you must keep all of that straight and bring it up a realistic number of times. This is very straightforward. You'll need to decide how you all look and come up with conflicting theories on why you look that way.

At least one alter should practice a different religion than yours and be devout and well-informed. Crack open a book and start studying a new religion ASAP. This will take no time whatsoever. When you are finished, come up with academic or career regret only one of you has.

Find small, subtle ways to hint at this being true when you're pretending this pretend person is out. Find little ways for this person to piece together their dreams despite not having a legal identity with which to make them happen. This is extremely intuitive.

You'll also want to learn how to pretend that you're only pretending to be a singlet in the company of others while making subtle slip-ups that almost expose you. You'll need to be totally aware of what types of slip-ups can do that. This will ensure other systems relate. Simple.

If you'd also like to fake a trauma history, it should ideally be something that's unique but not *too* unique. Add some littles and consistently behave in age-appropriate manners that don't look like an adult pretending to be a kid. How hard could any of this really be?

Make sure your trauma is patchy enough to unfold over time into something coherent. You'll need to know the whole story well enough to piece it together over time. This needs to be done in a manner that convinces people you genuinely don't already know the whole thing. Basic.

Faking plurality has many benefits. You can start a YouTube channel that makes you some money for
a while but ultimately ruins your reputation. You can forget what day it is and go to work on Saturday. Best of all, you can make cute avatars and have a few plurals hit "like."

Best of all, you can get tons of attention and add impressive misery credentials to your bio, until the inevitable fallout with half the internet that leads you to get doxxed by some guy who likes to deep dive into internet mysteries yet somehow has nothing original to say.

As you can see, this process is not complicated, especially considering the tremendous reward you will receive. Therefore, as a satirist, I strongly recommend you devote all your time and energy to faking plurality to get "likes" you could have gotten in simpler ways.

If a lot of people in #pluralgang laugh at this thread, there is a chance that none of this is stuff people in our community actually say or do with any regularity, and all the, "Encouraging/teaching people how to fake DID," stuff is a strawman argument.
