OP seems to have removed their rant, and I can't go back and see the details. Was he/she the leader of the team? If so, that person should change the way the standups are run.
But even if they aren't the team leader... if you're doing standups, you're (at least in theory) doing some kind of agile approach. But agile is not a rigid process. ("We're going to be agile according to this rigidly defined process" is an oxymoron.) You're team's process is stupid? Change it. (Which you can't directly do, if you're not the one running the team. You're going to have to sell it to whoever is running the team.)
This goes double when it's a written standup on Slack because when I get in in the morning I can look at my notes to know exactly what my goal is!
I realized one day I could write my comment at the end of the day and it would appear as the first one when everybody wrote theirs the next day and nobody has ever complained.
You lose a lot of momentum being pulled into a meeting you have no purpose in.
