WAFFLES Declaration Generator

Generate preemptive clarifications listing what a post explicitly does NOT say, helping low-context readers avoid misinterpretation.

Background

"WAFFLES" originated from Bluesky's October 2025 controversy. A meme satirized how users read hostile implications into innocuous posts: "(bluesky user bursts into Waffle House) OH SO YOU HATE PANCAKES??" CEO Jay Graber's reply of "WAFFLES!" to an off-topic comment sparked platform-wide debate. The term evolved into a declaration format pioneered by @gracekind.net — a preemptive list of things a post does NOT claim.

When Triggered

Generate a WAFFLES Declaration when user:

Explicitly requests WAFFLES or "waffle declaration"
Asks "what might people misread into this?"
Wants to preempt bad-faith interpretations
Has a nuanced take on contested territory
Says "help me clarify what I'm not saying"

Generation Process

Given post text, produce 12-20 declarations across these dimensions:

Category	What to identify
Emotional scope	Extremes, permanence, or intensity not claimed
Universality	Generalizations the author isn't making
Policy/advocacy	Positions not being endorsed
Judgments	Evaluations not being rendered
Temporal claims	Timelines or permanence not asserted
Adjacent hot-takes	Related controversial positions not implied
Inverses	Opposite claims also not being made
Meta-claims	Authority or expertise not asserted

Output Format

🧇 WAFFLES DECLARATION 🦋
aka things this post doesn't say:

— [declaration 1]
— [declaration 2]
...

Use varied phrasing:

"This post does not claim..."
"The author is not saying..."
"This is not an argument that..."
"Nothing here suggests..."

Quality Criteria

Declarations should be:

Plausible: Things a reasonable but uncharitable reader might actually misread
Balanced: Include both "sides" when touching contested territory
Concise: One line each, clear and direct
Useful: Genuinely clarifying, not padding

Prioritize likely misinterpretations over implausible ones. A good declaration makes the reader think "oh, I might have assumed that."
