A friend of mine had a small daughter who died choking on a grape. I mean, it’s not exactly relevant here, it just made me think of him. I hope he’s doing alright these days.
I used joke with the guy I’m talking about in the comment above when he’d say dumb or basic shit. No shit.
Like, one time he seen me and another friend smoking on the porch at work and he said, “If you boys smoke, you will die.” And I replied, something like, “Deep thoughts by postmateDumbass…”
Would be a crazy coincidence if you aren’t him.
I mean, I also see how your comment fits, but damn.
Didn't notice that part. I think most subs lock the voting after 6 months if it isn't a default setting. If it wasn't a big sub that long ago, that still seems about right. If reddit still allowed you to see the upvote/downvote ratio, it would be more telling if it was universally rejected opinion or if it was closer to 50/50.
It's wild to think, by the time this screenshot was taken that far might be embarrassing his daughter in front of her friends with this very same story.
Most fun when someone says a kid "could not have done" something by themselves... Kids are smarter than people give them credit for, they figure shit out. They just lack experience.
Which way is ironic? When he calls him a liar? Or when he hopes the kid is disabled? Or dies?
I'm kinda confused how cringe unhinged behavior is "ironic". Either you are miss using the word or you expect to say it with such confidence we would wash right over it.
But I personally find this ironic humor moronic. It's completely cringe for no good reason. It's not funny. It's not insightful. It's not playful. It's nothing but pathetic.
I think the idea is that he's the opposite of his username. I don't agree with the execution though, wouldn't positivity as an opposite be more general negativity rather than outright hatred and odious behavior?
More wholesomeness from Positivityman
Classic Positivityman
So positive he went off the scale just like Gandhi in civilization.
He is HIV-positive
Now that's a wholesome 100 moment right there Keanu!
Everyone knows the Bulls logo is an upside-down alien giving it to a crab.
I thought it was a robot
Robots can be from other planets.
While reading a book.
turns phone upside-down
... huh.

That is why my wife and I chopped every grape in half before feeding it to our son.
Wow, are you him?

Not the same person.
I started out thinking General Dumbass but thought that was too presumptuous and militaristic.
But that bit just read like a Deep Thought.
Why would you post that here? That's terrible
I mean, I think it’s pretty obvious why I posted it here. There’s a dude hoping some kid chokes on a grape in that meme up there.
Sorry if I made you sad. That shit actually happened. Nothing I can do about it.
Doesn't that make it relevant though?
Sure does!
I'm so confused. Is this real or no? Like... Do I feel sad or do I go and say "hah, weirdos"!
I'm pretty sure that reply was a joke based on the username, if that changes anything for you
Are you positive, man?
Sanest Reddit poster
He is Positivity Man after all.
To be fair, he's sitting at -29 when the screenshot was taken.

I think its probably an in-joke we (and the reddit downvoters) are not getting. I probably would have upvoted it assuming it was a joke.

Unfortunately, she choked on a grape and died :(
Oh shit, Shen Bapiro's alt account!
Most sane sports fan
He's right. It doesn't look like a cow. It looks like a robot fucking a crab.
I'm guessing PositivityMan is a novelty account?
and it’s called spez
As a father I always love a good dumb-fuck who has had little to no exposure to what toddlers are actually like.

I guess PositivityMan roots for the Timberwolves.
Meanwhile on Lemmy "But have you tried using Linux yet?"
*PositvityMan
He's positive OP is lying.
Someone's well-adjusted.
Yeah, wherever would they get that idea?
Your bloodline shall suffer for their transgressions against NBA
The only problem I see is that he starts with the premise that it’s a lie because the kid wouldn’t have seen a cow
Then calls the kid a retard for seeing a cow which invalidates the initial assertion
That was when reddit was normal. Now your account will get shadow banned for saying that
Neah, that's not due to Reddit, that's just your average sport fan!
The rise of API charges brought down the Reddit.

TFW everyone takes your ironic comments as completely serious regardless of how much absurdity you pile on.

100% this. I was on Reddit for nearly 10 years and this "type" of joke is super common.
That said, it was taken too far imo.
Ironic as in the opposite of sincere, as opposed to in the sense of paradoxical incongruouity.
I don't think this fits it. The irony should be consistent. And the statement is not. Therefore the irony is lost on the writer.
That's not that ironic means Ms. Morissette.
