Yeah not a joke. Straight from the W24 batch page... I'm sure these weren't even the most absurd.

To anyone with eyes? Job seekers looking for startups to join, investors looking for places to put money, etc. I'm sorry if your company got accepted into YC, better luck next time. At least you can hang out with the founders of... 100

Flies have demonstrated signs of consciousness so if that's supposed to be reassuring, it's not.
