I have read this like 10 times and I seriously have no clue if this dude is serious or is this satire?

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 56 points 10 months ago

Every post is a diaper. It will need changing. Often.

If this isn't satire I don't know what to think

Yeah, I am pretty sure this is way too on the nose to not be satire.

I could see a linkedin loony posting a non staged, non 'father is the sole subject' photo from an actual childbirth...

...but this is so directly saying that these ludicrous linkedin posts are just taking any situation and turning it into marketing for yourself as a brand.l, that brand being 'i know business buzzwords and am good at business.'

“My wife gave birth to our first child _today-“

Here is a list of all the things being an expert parent has taught me about business in the last ~12 hours.

Is that JD Vance and his new couch?

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Awww, they must have created their own little loveseat.

I didn't sleep well due to indigestion and this did not help.

My go-to, for better or worse, is Tums washed down with cold milk.

[–] Ozymandias1688@feddit.org 28 points 10 months ago

That's got Ken Cheng vibes.

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is satire lmao he portmanteau'd the words "content" and "entrepreneur" into "contrepreneur"

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 10 months ago

so true bestie!

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 18 points 10 months ago

"content entrepreneur"?

It's pronounced "twat".

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Bro...

WHAT.

Please tell me this is satire

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

It is. Feel reassured?

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 10 months ago

The only thing he definitely got right is that last bit about the new boss. The rest is too vague to call true, false, or even slightly useful.

"Every post is a diaper"

And OOP's is full of shit

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Thanks for sharing, great insig

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The beginning is ugly. The remainder on its own would actually be funny if it's clear that it's not meant seriously.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

There's a strong scent of ThatHappened.jpg on the post.

Whether this is legit insane Influencer saying literally anything for attention or the random gibberish of a content farm is open for debate.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've never gotten worked up over the insane posts on this /c but I literally want to fistfight that dude.

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Contrepeneur 😂

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

still want to fistfight him.

probably 200% satire when the dickhead cut me off at my standing green light too.

[–] GoddessGundy@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I threw up in my mouth a little bit. I wanna punch this dude and dedicate my effort to his poor wife.

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 4 points 10 months ago

First I thought that might become a funny story. Then I thought there might be a lesson being told. In the end it just ended up being sad and disappointing.
