We will read the headline, and possibly every single word in it. Like 75% of the time, at least.

I like to read until I hit a noun, then look to see what community this it was posted to, then kinda riff it from there.

So has anyone tried this pewpowpie recipe and does it taste any good?RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Yo, I love pudding pie. Is it chocolate?

It’s also always been the way that the people who actually clicked the link get to come into the comments and be frustrated at us for being legitimately wrong.
