Nothing says "I can tell this is a joke, but it's not funny" like telling OP that they're acting dangerously as though they're actually doing this, and giving them actual advice as though they asked for any.
/s
Joke not funny, advice dumb. People no haha, give better advice.
Judging by those advice posts being massively upvoted - seems most agree.
Not my comment flying straight over your head. That reply typifies what I'm talking about.
What advice do you think the joke was giving? Why would you think a joke is providing actual advice? Why would you think that actual advice is a useful response to a joke?
Even if it wasn't funny, if you recognize it as a joke, none of the behavior makes sense. This smells strongly of lying to save face.
Once again, I can't tell if you're too autistic to understand a joke, or I'm too autistic to understand your advanced satire.
Well I for one don't get the joke. What's the joke?
It's just a "Jesus take the wheel" joke.
The humor is in the absurdity itself.
Thanks for the pointer. I had to look it up. That song never entered my (British) consciousness and I guess that's not a thing in the UK.
I also didn't known it was a song, so the song never entered the Canadian consciousness either. The joke has existed for a while in various forms,, I just picked it up from that. Sometimes in a more faithful reproduction of the "I can't drive either" joke, but often just riffing on super religious people not even attempting to save themselves or others in emergency situations, or especially in situations that are overblown into emergencies. I sometimes see it used as an ironic replacement for "YOLO" when you know you're about to do something dumb and you don't care. Shipping buggy code to prod, riding down a big hill in a shopping cart, buying a meme stock, etc.

Can't answer my questions, then huh?
Do you have any theories on why you resorted to ad hominem instead?
