The debate began innocently enough, with Bayla casually scrolling through her phone, completely oblivious to what was about to unfold.
"Hey guys," Bayla suddenly chimed in, breaking the silence. "Did you know... Bayla backwards is also Bayla?"
Tealy raised an eyebrow. "Wait, what? That doesn’t make sense."
DumbDird, never one to pass up an opportunity to stir things up, immediately jumped in with his signature enthusiasm. "Durr, no! Bayla backwards is Durr!"
Bayla blinked. "No, it's not... Bayla backwards is... Bayla."
Tealy rubbed his temples, already feeling a headache forming. "Guys, you’re both wrong. Bayla backwards is... al... yab? Alyab?"
The room fell silent for a moment. Bayla and DumbDird stared at Tealy, mouths agape, as if he’d just suggested they all go skydiving into a pool of mustard.
"Alyab?!" DumbDird cried, horrified. "Durr, it’s not Alyab or whatever! It’s Durr!"
Tealy, frustrated beyond belief, tried again. "It’s not Durr either! It’s... it’s al yab! Or something! I don’t know, but it’s definitely not Durr or Bayla!"
Bayla shook her head in disbelief. "Wait, but... Bayla backwards literally is just Bayla! It makes sense because my name is symmetrical, like a palindrome!"
DumbDird, now fully committed to his stance, pointed an accusing finger at Tealy. "Durr, Tealy, stop trying to confuse me with your Alyab nonsense. It's Durr. No other option!"
Tealy was already on the brink of losing it. "No! It’s not Durr! It’s literally not! It’s not even close to Durr! You’re both wrong!"
Bayla crossed her arms, determined not to back down. "No, no, no. Look, guys, it’s simple. It’s like... a mirror! You flip Bayla, and it’s still Bayla. That's a palindrome!"
"Durr, that’s wrong!" DumbDird shouted, his face turning red. "You can’t just say Bayla backwards is Bayla! That’s cheating! And Durr is the real answer!"
Tealy’s eyes twitched. "I can’t believe this is happening. You’re both so wrong!"
The back-and-forth continued for what felt like an eternity. Bayla and DumbDird were adamant about their ridiculous claims, and Tealy was quickly running out of patience. Every time he tried to explain, they just doubled down on their increasingly nonsensical arguments.
At one point, Bayla stood up dramatically. "I’ll prove it! Watch!" She grabbed her phone and tried typing "Bayla" backwards into a search engine, only for it to show up as "al-yab".
Tealy took a deep breath, finally managing to squeeze out, "See? That’s what I was trying to say!"
But no, that wasn’t enough to end the fight.
DumbDird, now entirely caught up in the excitement of proving everyone wrong, took his phone and started typing "Durr" backwards. He waved it in the air proudly, showing Tealy the result: "rruD".
"Durr! There! See? It’s Durr backwards, so Bayla’s got to be Durr!" he said triumphantly.
Tealy buried his face in his hands. "This is... this is why I can’t win. I’m surrounded by chaos."
Bayla folded her arms and shot a look at DumbDird. "I’m still right, though. There’s no way I’m wrong. Look, we can do a poll if you want, but the answer’s obvious."
DumbDird grinned. "Yeah, let’s do a poll! I’ll win!"
Tealy just stared blankly at the two of them. "You guys... are both so wrong. Why are we even arguing about this? It’s just a name!"
Bayla and DumbDird continued to bicker about their perspectives, but Tealy had finally had enough. With a deep sigh, he pulled out his phone and sent a quick message: "Is Bayla backwards really just Bayla? Or am I the only one who isn’t crazy here?"
As soon as the message was sent, Tealy realized the futility of it all. His phone buzzed with replies almost immediately. Some people sided with Bayla, others with DumbDird, and a few with Tealy, who, at this point, was so fed up that he didn’t even care about the answer anymore. The debate had spiraled out of control, and no matter what, there would be no winners.
"Durr, we need more polls!" DumbDird shouted, still convinced he was right.
Tealy closed his eyes and mumbled, "I’m going to bed. You guys figure it out."
And with that, Tealy escaped the madness, leaving DumbDird and Bayla to continue their absurd debate about backwards names—each more convinced than the last that they had figured out the true meaning of Bayla backwards.
