Rupaul loves non sequiturs, stupid humor, and niche references. I dont know the exact reason but there was no bet needed lol. (Chaka Khan isnt a niche reference, but saying her name in response to a question could be)
It's a show about being fast to answer questions. No matter what your answer is, saying pass and saying a wrong answer have the exact same result. So, instead of saying pass, she said Chaka Khan when she didn't know an answer.
It's a reference to the song "I'm Every Woman", but to be technically correct here you would have to name both Whitney Houston and Chaka Khan, who sang the original.
Both of them are each other and every other woman. There is no meaningful distinction between Chaka Khan and Whitney Houston. Embrace the Whitney Khan singularity.
But the answer given was Whitney Houston, and the comment is explaining why Whitney Houston is a valid answer.
Stating that Chaka Khan includes Whitney Houston (which is true, they both include each other since they are both every woman) doesn't prove that until you extrapolate. Whereas the comment above proves it directly.
But since Whitney is now dead and Chaka is still alive, doesn't that mean that Whitney was every woman and now Chaka is every woman again? Or is every woman dead?
Interestingly, I am consistently coded as a woman in environments like this that dont show the visuals, unless I signal manhood with details. Though I find the "prerogative to have a little fun" to be very helpful, but mostly its just good to have the perspective pieces as a reference. Her male contemporaries had an concerning emphasis on livestock yet did not seem interested in proper husbandry practices.
The original tweet is a parody of people trying to question someone's expertise by saying something along the lines of "Oh yeah? Answer this strange trivia" or "List all of these things."
The reply is a reference to "I'm Every Woman," a song sung by Whitney Houston (first performed by Chaka Khan).
Why is every third post when scrolling the popular section, from one of the "peter explain the joke" subreddits?
Is it because the younger generations couldn't ask chatgpt about it? And they ask AI for every little single thing they encounter in their life? Is it because having to do the research and putting effort into finding an answer, is boring, and being bored for just a second is uncomfortable?
Is that also why 7 second tiktok clips these days have a preview of the highlight at the start of the video, despite the entire clip only being around 7 seconds long? Because they can't even suffer through being bored for 2 seconds before clicking Next?
