calls out a dumb pronunciation of a word Guy who obviously pronounces it the dumb way just so he can feel superior to others - "kill yourself". Totally normal behavior.

Oooooh is that what it means?

Btw you didn't get your formatting right, maybe should work on that before calling others dumb.

I didnt call anyone dumb. If youre taking it personally that people think pronouncing GIF, an acronym that stands for Graphical (with a hard G) image format, "jif"is dumb, then maybe you should examine why the pronunciation of that word is such an integral part of your identity. But if you're so proud of the trivial knowledge that you read in a sentence on a website that you feel the need to lord it over others and consider it a personal affront when people think its silly, then yes maybe you are dumb.

Take a moment to reread the tone of this entire thread, maybe reflect on the concept of taking things personally.

Telling others to kill themselves is not a joke

why aren't you replying to the original post if you care so much? Super cringe to go 5 levels deep and post your random completely irrelevant opinion.

Alsi this guy here is definitely telling me to kill myself but in a muuuuch more serious tone than my statement 😇, please go harass this shithead since he actually means it. https://tucson.social/comment/2100021
