      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.

          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.

                  … 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
