I don’t get how parents can be this fucking stupid. They have lived on this planet at least twice as long as we have. They should know more than us not less. Instead, they actively refuse to learn new things.

Oh, you’re a youngin. You’ll understand as you get older that not only are there things that will pop up in popular culture that are clearly targeted towards those younger than you, you will realize that you actively don’t care what stupid shit the kids are up to now. That your day will be better if you don’t sacrifice mental energy trying to understand.
You don’t understand. It’s possible not to understand any meme template. To not understand the concept of a meme template. My mom was probably in her 40s when image macros started taking off. She doesn’t give a fuck who Thanos is, wouldn’t understand the text over the image, wouldn’t understand the “this is you” comment.
Imagine someone walking up to you and saying, “Knock knock” and waiting expectedly and you’ve never heard a knock knock joke before. That’s my mom (and lots of moms) and memes.
Anyway, about memes, there have been illustrations since maybe longer than the written word. You see a picture of the guy using the stairs during a fire instead of an elevator and you don’t go “I don’t know who that guy is I don’t understand”.
Very likely it could be fake but still doesn’t explain how my mom doesn’t understand how a post about how I shit over 20x in one day made it to the front page. “How does anyone have time to read about your pooping?” She says. Parents…
This is exactly how confused I would expect my mom to be if I sent her a meme. I feel like this would be more on me than her

Bro you don’t have to know every meme to understand how jokes work

“knock knock”
“What?”
“Interrupting cow”
“What are yo–”
“MOO”
Hm still works.

it’s literally a meme, it’s not what they expect a low-effort email. also maybe we should send memes over email? there’s potential there…
also maybe the original post was fake
