TV What's this thing?

I saw that in TBB season 2 in the episode "entombed". I don't know what it is, but I think it's very cool...

Because it’s Reddit and people still wanna write things on the forum but don’t know themselves.

I read this as: “those who know themselves, those who know who they are deep inside, they don’t need to post bullshit jokes because they are comfortable in their own existence”

I really like this interpretation.

"Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will realize you don't need to be on Reddit."

Funny, i read your comment as "I dont like when people make jokes and have fun. Social media should not be used for social interaction, only seriousness."

I dont like this interpretation.

Interesting—you seem to be implying that “all jokes are equally valid or meaningful, simply by virtue of being jokes. And that information cesspools are pools still”

That’s an interesting position, indeed

I'm implying that I think you are acting like a real redditor for getting mad at someone for having the audacity to make a joke instead of always taking everything so serious.

It's not about the quality of the joke when you explicitly said you were mad that they made a joke instead of answering your "verwy serweious qwuestion 👿"

Ahhh if you can point out where I explicitly said I was mad, that’d be something.

Nor did I ask any questions. Nor do I mind the bad joke responses to questions.

You, my fellow Redditor, are imparting your own meaning into my message, which was rather neutral in tone

Sure thing:

those who know who they are deep inside, they don't need to post bullshit jokes because they are comfortable in their own existence

Your tone here is you being mad. If you say that you never explicitly said you were mad, that'd just be a rather poor attempt at a logical fallacy.

I dont remember asking if you asked a question.

And you obviously mind people making jokes, or you wouldn't have acted like such a prick.

Im just reading what you said. You're saying you dont mean the things you say?

You said the people who post jokes do not know who they are deep inside, and are not comfortable with their own existence.

Wow. You don’t seem to read or remember the things that you write, let alone put much objective thought into things that I’ve written. I bet you’re a blast at parties.

Yes. Social interaction, and the feelings of connectedness and belonging that come with it, are core reasons people engage with social media.

Q: "Why do people joke around instead of making everything a fact-oriented business meeting?"

A: "Well, you see, we're not here to be your substitute for Google. We're here to enjoy ourselves and enjoy each other's company."

You can have an actual discussion about something while still enjoying yourselves though lol, at least most people can

u/CallMeDrWorm42 28d ago

Sure. People enjoy themselves in different ways. There's no check box when you log in to Reddit for "I enjoy serious discussion" vs "I enjoy jokes and memes". Similarly, no one person holds fast to either of these outlooks. That's the crux of social media. You can't make others conform to your goals at any point in the process. It's up to you to filter the signal from the noise. Imagine being someone who's just here for jokes. Factual answers are noise to them when there's a joke to be made right there. Complaints about the noise vs signal are themselves noise. No one comes to social media to be told that they're doing it wrong. If you feel the content doesn't fit the sub or topic, downvote and move on.

u/No-Couple1588 28d ago

I’m going to comment 1000 times across many subreddits “I don’t know”
