I fed a hundred 5 star chefs’ dinners to a dog and then the dog shit them out but I still made the dogshit

A fuckup that specifically in line with what the Führer wants is no accident

Counterpoint: I am tired of this earth. These people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives.

Vine, Tiktok, etc are all just finally sinking into the swamp that is the internet.

They’re already on the internet. Well, except for Vine since that site has been toast for a while now.

you just never participated in the real internet

What does that even mean?

Yes, that’s why the first thing I said was asking if it was meant to be comprehensible because I could not parse a clear and singular intent behind it for reasons I’ve already mentioned. “Incomprehensible” is a genre of media, especially for TikTok.

Nope. I’ve deleted Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit each about 3 years ago. I will give you that Vine and TikTok have historically ticked those boxes, which is why I never had any reason to use them. Companies found that more engagement means more ad money and more sellable user data, and content that is problematic or superficial tends to provide more engagement, or bad actors intentionally poison the well of content for their own agenda. People also bring that profit-motivated content onto other sites, including sites without a profit motive. Yes, there definitely were these problems everywhere online since the beginning, but the way they breakdown our language, ways of communicating, and understanding has been manufactured to become more severe.

I’d understand the scenario and perhaps even find it funny if the joke-teller were to provide the essential context

The joke is so poorly phrased that you inverted the roles of who is shopping

It’s relatable to only a small percentage of people (fraction of people who are interested in relationships with women, subset people who are in relationships with women, subset people whose women partner is phone obsessed, subset people who cannot independently shop for groceries, subset people who while grocery shopping have had their women partner fail to answer her phone, subset people who have this happen routinely or significantly enough to even notice or care). You will see others saying that it’s relatable but that will just be confirmation bias.

And for each person who has experienced this, they only once could have experienced it as the image describes since black holes do not relinquish the matter they absorb. Who even would be in a relationship with somebody who is both on their phone 24/7 and be short distance enough to share groceries? The hyperbole is too literal and becomes nonsensical rather than comedic.

“word salad and non-sequitors without premise” is genuinely a common aim and market for TikTok media. It was only a criticism if that wasn’t what the joke-teller was going for, and that’s what I wanted clarification of.

You asked the community for context and I provided a version of it based on having heard that joke before.

Last I heard, even historians have yet to come up with the context or meaning for that joke.

those are both assumptions

Then don’t assert those claims with such absolutism and authority?

you are angry about

What part about the ancient Sumerian dog joke made you laugh?

The fact that it’s choosing an eye to open so it can see?

Where are you getting these assumptions from? Also, your comment comes across as really condescending and preachy imo. It’s like you think I don’t understand what a joke is or that all these moments will be lost in time like tears in rain.
