Why do people decide to explain jokes like this? What's your thought process from when you see a punchline to writing out an over explanation?
The internet is wide, and many nerds are on the spectrum.
My coworker, super nice guy and would totally find him watching football or playing video games - always has to go, "Your joke is in reference to [movie name]."
He's on the spectrum. He "needs" to say that for himself. Maybe it's to help him understand , or maybe because he doesn't want anybody to be left out or feel like they are missing anything. Doesn't mean any harm and we accept that.
Empathy my friend.
True I've known guys like that before. Thank you for the thoughtful response!
They are pushing boundaries and trying to find their voice. And trying our patience :D
The amount of people with ASD on Lemmy is high.
Pointing that out doesn’t go down well though…
It’s 2024, IDGAF if you are on the spectrum I just want to know so I can better interpret your comment.
