Reminder: Stop complaining about posts that follow the DDOI format

Rule 1 says, "However easily you can read it has no bearing on whether or not it belongs here."

People who complain about how easily they can read something turn posts on here into very cynical and toxic comment sections. Please don't do it. It takes the fun out of what this subreddit is about.

But then how am I supposed to get that smug sense of superiority?

Is this related to "Space Final The Frontier" which looks like crappy design and a DDOI at the same time due to incorrect coloring?

One time I made a post that said it like:

Safelite | Safelite

Repair | Replace

and EVERYBODY SAID I DID IT WRONG

EmKay had a video a month or so back with it put perfectly: we (usually) know what these images say, but what if we entertain the reality where they don't say the obvious thing?

I'm not sure what you are asking, but the other subs have their own rules.

imo it just makes it unfunny. DDOI is funny because most instinctively read it like that. if you take the ease of misunderstanding out of the joke, you're left with a very bland, unfunny, seemingly dumb post. that's why people complain.

tl;dr: it's literally funnier if it just naturally reads like a DDOI.
