      It took me a second to get it too. It’s just a joke that’s worded like the caption on an old fashioned 1 panel cartoon, like Far Side.

      e.g. if I’d posted a picture of a man surrounded by an angry mob, he might have commented something like “in hindsight, Greg shouldn’t have sold a counterfeit Mona Lisa to ALL the museums in town.”

      Honestly, it’s a little weird that people can’t identify such obvious shitposting in a meme community. This is the second time it’s happened in two weeks.

        What are you talking about Fascist Fedora? Everyone else seems to be having fun with the post because it is a shitpost.

          You don’t understand the humor of hearing about something that seems to be a coincidence, and then hearing a separate example that is overtly terrible in the same way?

            what are you saying, what are you talking about? it feels like you’re making reference to something which seems obvious to you but the rest of us don’t know what you’re referring

              Okay, I’ll explain it to you, but only if you play along.

              Explain to me what is the purpose of OP’s post, with the protest sign at the no kings protest.

            No, I don’t even know what you’re talking about. I’ve engaged in this for too long already if you’re not going to explain whatever the heck you were talking about. I think you’re also getting downvotes because others don’t know what you’re talking about either.

              I literally just explained it to you. I’m not being cagey. I think you must be used to not getting jokes, so I’m not sure why you’re blaming me.

                I would say based on the votes nobody knows what you’re talking about. But yeah, go ahead and be condescending for some reason. Enjoy it I guess.

                  Downvotes are meaningless, except to give me a list of usernames who don’t know how to participate in adult discussions. I don’t have much in the way of respect for people who take stock in them. Donald Trump got the most votes in 2024, and it doesn’t mean anything except that tens of millions of people made a poor decision when voting.

                  Hey. I’m sincere when I say this: I think we sometimes get into the unfortunate habit of gloomscrolling, just incessant negative news- that when we stumble into another community, we go in a bit “on-edge”. Please don’t think they’re out to harm you. I’ve gotten upset by TheOnion more than my fair share of times. Also, toast rocks.
