    I’m glad everyone finds it weird and gross, but I’m also amused at how many people don’t know this is a five year old joke from a mommy blogger at this point.

    Never actually real, just meant to make people who were currently dealing with sticker boards and feeling weird about it chuckle.

      I’m appalled that you actually expect me to do research on memes and not accept them at face value. Leave my propaganda addled mind in peace dammit.

      It honestly blows my mind how many people on Lemmy are completely incapable of interpreting sarcasm. I know Poe’s Law and all that, but this is pretty clearly a joke.

        The comments are really weird. Not just about the chart training and prostitutional aspect, but also that people who argue about it still seem to have a shared opinion that stererotypical men won’t do these tasks.

        So, even if they acknowledge that the meme is crazy in one way or the other, they’re still reinforcing the negative stereotype of the bumbling sitcom dad and that these tasks are not manly or something.

        This joke is quite toxic even when understood as a joke.

        As has been pointed out before, Lemmy is mostly people who up and left Reddit.

        There’s a variety of different archetypes that did that.

        And it explains a lot of the more head scratching experiences I’ve had here.
