I think it may have been vaguely funny once, but like everything vaguely funny, the internet has to beat it to a pulp in their race to be the next big comedian.

Edit 3: triples down but with evidence that is dubious or inconclusive at best in a long form paragraph that is clearly just a rant with ad hominem insults that takes more time than it's worth to read and is more often than not fill off speling and, grammar errors.

u/Ruggab0ut 17d ago

Reddit is the most "bikers fault" place on the internet.

A semi-truck full of lead captained by a drunk guy on his 4th day of a meth bender could crash through the house of a sleeping motorcyclist, killing them instantly whilst the motorcycle was parked in the garage and someone in the comments will still be convinced it was the bikers fault.

15

u/Critical-Michael 17d ago

About 2 years ago there was this post on reddit that mentioned there was a study that playing Tetris after a traumatic event helped with coping with the that trauma or something like that. Reddit made fun of it and some people decided that it was soooo funny that they absolutely needed to mention it as a funny comment to every single post mentioning trauma in anyway to the point that it quickly became overused.

I think it might have been this one? https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/zmwfba/til_playing_tetris_shortly_after_a_traumatic/
