I’m completely baffled that these people couldn’t recognize the troll after two responses. Even worse, they continued after the book post. I have to assume they were also going along with the troll for a laugh. They can not be this incredibly dense.
I don’t get it. His trolling is pretty good but it’s not exactly top notch comedy just to say “no you’re wrong” a hundred times
The bottom image is pretty much why it’s funny to me.
Apparently for dudes who’ve got a compulsive need to be the smartest person in the room, “someone who’s wrong in a really stupid way who has unshakable confidence that they’re smarter than you” is their kryptonite.
Tons of people keep trying to convince him even though he’s just saying “no you’re wrong” over and over again.
The point is that when you’re an adult and talking to a child, you can’t talk to them like an adult. When you’re dealing with someone without the faculties or desire to engage in informed debate, just save your breath.
Actually incredibly instructive to US readers at the moment given our horrific levels of education and high levels of misinformation and bias in media.
I like this take
This is why “/s” was invented, no matter how silly it might seem.
Because human skulls are thick af.
They’re actually quite thin, like a shark’s smooth skin.
This proves two things:
- Internet arguments are pointless.
- Playing dumb on the Internet and refusing to admit the bit under any circumstances is hilarious.
You forgot one more point:
- Sharks are smooth.
This is an interrogation technique: make a presumptive statement, and try to be wrong about it. People will jump out of their skin to correct you, even when they’re coached to not answer questions (but honestly it’s really hard for people not to answer questions).
Cunningham’s Law states “The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it’s to post the wrong answer.”
No that’s Godwin’s Law!
Case in point
Post of the century.
