I will genuinely never understand these comments, who cares? Is it supposed to be funny that you don't believe it happened and care so much?
Especially with something like this that doesn't sound like something that'd never happen, way crazier things happen regularly. I just can't wrap my head around it why these kinds of comments are on nearly every meme.
These kinds of comments will always be found on bullshit memes because there always going to be a portion of the population that’s smart enough to know when something is bullshit. It’s just how it works.
It’s like this:
Kids are cute when they’re not trying to be cute. However, they’re fucking obnoxious when they’re trying to be cute.
Genuine things usually net the appropriate response from people who appreciate genuine things. When something is disingenuous, it should be called out.
Smart enough to know when something is bullshit, but not smart enough to understand that nearly all of them are bullshit?
It is like those wrestler critics saying it is all fake as if anybody cares enough when the main point is that it is entertaining.
It's not like I need every meme I see to be based on reality, but there's been this trend of faking stuff and passing it as real and that's where it goes too far for me. I'm not sure this one qualifies though, I can read this as purely being humorous and not really trying to sell itself as real.
These comments are not left by smart people.
The smart people know its a fucking meme, so its veracity is about as important as its eligibility for a home loan.
Right… because the comment section on shit meme posts like this are clearly NOT full of people that took it seriously.
(obligatory /s)
Engaging with the premise doesnt mean you genuinely believe the premise. Its fun to play along. Youve known this since childhood, it didnt change when you got older.
lol…. Okay. There no convincing you. Let’s just pretend everyone knows this is fake and are all in on the joke despite all the people arguing that it totally happened every time these types of posts get called out.
We can stop now.
My guy, you dont look cool pretending its hard to be in on the joke of a joke post on the internet.
You don’t look any more cooler saying “my guy,” than you do trying act like there’s a joke to be in on.
...... Do you think common speech patterns are spoken because people think theyre cool? Damn I thought you were just having a meltdown for not getting the joke, but now I wonder if you have just been living under a rock for a while and this is culture shock
ROFL! People still think that calling attention to something is “having a meltdown.” Hilarious!
I’m just simply saying this is a bullshit meme. Apparently because I dared to respond to someone disagreeing- I’m now having a meltdown. I could try telling you I tho the entire thing is funny- but you’ll go ahead and tell me that I don’t and that I’m somehow having a crisis…
Internet psychology is hilarious! Gonna block you now as a reward for wasting my time.
Did you just type rofl? And then claim you arent having a meltdown?
Dude just click block, you do not need my consent
