I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

That has been literally all internet humor since the dawn if the internet.

All your base are belong to us, nyancat, GGG, advice animals, roflcopter, it's a trap, badger mushroom, everything.

Internet humor literally relies on enough regurgitation to be a huge inside joke.

I mean, before that it was pretty much "I hate my wife" humor and dirty jokes for half of a century,, so even if the dead horse is being made into applesauce, it still might be a step up.

I know it's not the conversation we're having, but nothing makes me hate anti-LGBTQIA+ folk quite like the "I hate my wife" shtick.

"GAYS ARE RUINING MARRAIGE" My brother in Christ, just yesterday I heard you joke about finding your wife a pair of concrete shoes. You did perfectly well destroying the concept of marriage all on your own.

Whenever I think of these "jokes" as a Gen Z I think of an ungrateful joe who got to date and marry and hates his wife. Doing these in 2023 year of our lord without being burned is a miracle.

You can say a lot about those anti lgbtq+ folk, but hypocrite and and un-selfaware are just two of them

To go further off topic, LGBT+ folks have my full support but can y'all please stop adding to the acronym?

I thought the 'q' was supposed to be an umbrella for everyone else, then there was a plus that's definitely for that purpose, yet somehow more letters still seem to get added every few years

The next time a boomer co-worker comes up and passive-aggressively asks me, "what's this new letter I just found," with a grin like this exposes how dumb the whole community really is, I swear I'm going to throw them out a window

I don't want to go to prison, please stop adding letters so they will stop talking to me

The actual gay agenda is to rearrange the alphabet and covertly get the world to memorize it. The butt stuff is simply a strategy.

This is a perfect representation of what the people I was talking about would say
