I’m sorry, is there actually anyone out there who takes the idea of tipping one’s landlord seriously? I always thought this was just an absurdist running gag…
LMFAO, they actually used “tipping cashiers” as an example. 🤣
Who the fuck tips their landlord anyway?
Tip landlords? What? Everyone in the States have lost their minds.
Back the fuck up. ‘Tip’ landlords? I think you mean bribing.
Poe’s Law strikes again. Based on the community, I’m to take it as a right-wing meme, but this feels like a parody of a right-wing meme, or at least a parody of something.
But assuming it’s real, holy wow, that list of things that the meme-maker thinks people spend money on is the clearest, most-explicit result of right-wing projection I’ve seen in a long time.
Shows how delusional Lemmy can be that this OBVIOUS troll post is being taken seriously. The “tipping landlords” bit is a running gag.
This isn’t a Lemmy problem, this is just the Internet. I feel like we need to start teaching how to recognize sarcasm and parody in different styles to kids in school.
Critical thinking is discouraged in schools, they want good cookie-cutter workers.
What would you teach? There’s no clear indicators of sarcasm here. You would have to have the cultural-economic knowledge to know whether tipping landlords is expected and prior knowledge that this is a running joke apparently (I just found out from this thread). And poe’s law applies. This isn’t some political cartoon in a newspaper
