    To this day the part of the Internet that vexes me most is shitposting. Like is this funny to anyone? It’s like family guy humor but without good writing. It’s just random and gross and weird. Good job trolling me or something?

      Shitposts bring me a small amount of joy because it’s just people all agreeing to be silly together. The fact that someone else thinks this will make me chuckle makes me feel a small connection and also they’re right it did make me exhale slightly.

      It’s the internet equivalent of a cliche in casual conversation. “I’m hungry” “Hi hungry I’m dad” … it’s mild humor delivered as part of a social reflex

      No, I don’t think that’s what shit posts are about. Shit posts are just basically whatever weird memes someone’s brain comes up with that may or may not make sense. And everyone liking or commenting is basically saying “yes. I see your weird brain and it makes my weird brain light up also.”

        That is definitely the most sense anyone has made when trying to explain them, so I thank you for that.
