    I’m glad everyone finds it weird and gross, but I’m also amused at how many people don’t know this is a five year old joke from a mommy blogger at this point.

    Never actually real, just meant to make people who were currently dealing with sticker boards and feeling weird about it chuckle.

      It honestly blows my mind how many people on Lemmy are completely incapable of interpreting sarcasm. I know Poe’s Law and all that, but this is pretty clearly a joke.

        We live in a post Trump presidency, post Covid mandates world. Nothing is pretty clearly a joke anymore.

          Yeah, this. I’m certain there do exist people in this world who have a chart like this. Probably they just happen to enough sense to not post the chart online, or are too obscure for theirs to become the meme.

        As has been pointed out before, Lemmy is mostly people who up and left Reddit.

        There’s a variety of different archetypes that did that.

        And it explains a lot of the more head scratching experiences I’ve had here.

      I’m appalled that you actually expect me to do research on memes and not accept them at face value. Leave my propaganda addled mind in peace dammit.
