guys this is satire i’m getting the vibe that wasn’t obvious

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

In order for something to be satirical, it first must be funny

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

sounds like you didn’t get it :/ sorry

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Oh honey, my response wasn't because I didn't get it

This is giving off r/im15andthisisdeep energy

It's a meta joke about the obsession companies have with pointing out ways to get their workers to be more environmental or save more money, only with this it's literally just describing driving normally on your own, hence implying that companies don't actually care about you and just want to say things to make you feel responsible for things outside of your control

As a rule of thumb, it's a bad idea to just say the same thing over and over again. Just like how it's a bad idea to tell somebody they don't get a joke when the joke is as bland as saltless pasta

yeah almost, you do describe like 2/3rds of the elements at play here but demonstrate a lack of understanding of the third with this comment. that third is probably crucial to what makes this post funny to most, but i won’t explain it to you, specifically, since your tone policing behavior has made it exponentially more fun to repeat

sounds like you didn’t get it :(

you're missing part of the joke, but I won't explain it to you

I dislike your tone policing behaviour

If you think that's the vibe of this post, then you didn't get it.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It was the vibe of the op's response, not the post

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Oh honey, then I fear you don't get r/im15andthisisdeep either 💔🥺

Most people's are down voting because It's not funny it's aneurism-posting,

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i don’t think you know what aneurism-posting means.

in reality it’s not well received because this style of humor just doesn’t hit the 196 community the same as in other internet spaces i frequent. 196 and diana have a lot in common, particularly with the cities skyline crowd, but i tried to diversify my posting to a probably much older and out of the loop audience which is not sensitive of the memetic value here.

i tried a diversification to my posting and the material didn’t land in this context. no need to insult 🤷‍♀️

i thought aneurysm posting was when someone is trying to say something salient but autocorrect and typographical errors have merged in the worst possible way to make it absolutely unintelligible.

(so it reads like they're having an aneurysm)

aneuryrysm is when you the then the words

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

"why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

that’s exactly what i have always understood as well, thanks for sharing your experience i was getting confused

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

My understanding is that anuerysm posting is when, even if you account for spelling mistakes and auto correct errors, the text is still indecipherable, as if the person has dysphasia, or is actively having an anuerysm, resulting in grammaticaly unparseable, meaningless sentences, where no salient 'objective' of the utterance can be determined.

(Different from schizo posting, where the sentences usually are mostly parseable as having actual meaning, its just that whats being said is completely insane.)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

even better definition, thank you. 😊

A true scholar of the Internet i see

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I got it

And as a single poly bi dude I let out a chuckle, a curse, and an upvote.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

hell yeah finally, people who get this must all log in after 5:15 UTC lol

How many layers of irony are you on ?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i counted and it’s just one layer of irony, i think it’s unfamiliarity with the original version that’s tripping folks up

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

There's an original version?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (2 children)

A lot of woosh going on in here. It's about polyamory, folks.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

that’s okay, never any shame in that! 😊(i found this if you want to change that though https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/solo-polyamorous-hijabi-amputee)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

That sounds like a really obtuse way of saying you don't have a primary partner.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

literally 😭 should i post the original or would that make it worse do you think

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

It made it better lol thanks for sharing here https://lemmy.cafe/comment/8632145

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This is the exact opposite of woke

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I've been woke for too long, where is my sleepe

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

It's so woke that it got an overflow error and reverted to a negative value.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

My non-anuerism take on this was it feels like it's the car lobby trying to pass off driving alone as an inclusive thing to do. Kinda like when I saw a BP float in Chicago's Pride parade this year.

Am I getting it right?

Edit: I think the term I'm trying to find is "corporate performative allyship"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

yeah more or less except it’s not real, i think we have different definitions of aneurism posting but if by that you mean it’s a satire of that corporate allyship/pinkwashing behavior i think that’s correct

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Somebody should cosplay this character. Thankfully, the long legs allow for a stilt+hook setup for people with good balancing skills.
