  For what it’s worth, I interpreted your original comment as a joke, but then the doubling and tripling down made me think you were serious. Sometimes you should just let the original lol stand alone.

    Yeah, I can see how that happens. But in my defense, I don’t think any real person could have gone through this thought process to turn the obvious clues into the most unreasonable conclusion possible.

      I think you are underestimating the amount of near braindead people posting shit on the internet. Sometimes a person really is as dumb as you were pretending to be.

        I mean, plot holes on this meme?

        Any chance that in hindsight those people could’ve been joking?

      This is why they invented emoticons and emoji. On the Internet, no-one can tell you are smirking unless you tell them

        I’m not convinced that a visual equivalent to a laugh track would’ve changed it for the better.

        So you’re telling me he slept with a clone? 🤣🤣🤣
