This definitely happened

- I just thought about the "Duh it's fake" comments that were slowly inching me to insanity on reddit.
  
  Please don't bring this over to Lemmy. Please.
  
  80% of popular posts had a popular comment saying something is staged or fake. It's so uninteresting, unoriginal and beating a dead horse so to say. Even for litteral movie scenes we had popular comments saying it's staged.
  
  Sorry for the rant and it's not particularly for your comment. It just was a massive trend I noticed on certain subreddits. Could probably farm karma just making a bot saying some variation of "it's fake" to every posts.

  Honestly, sure. You make a valid point.

  Fake text messages are like the laugh track of the internet. There are plenty of absurd things that actually happen on the Internet so having to create fake situations cheapens authentically funny situations.
  
  Sites like 9gag are filled with these things because they are low effort ways to make an unfunny joke plausibly funny.

- It's just a joke, I don't think you're supposed to think it happened

- I thought it was a joke about future millennial/zoomer grandparents.

  and in turn, by then nobody will believe anything their personal AI didn't tell them.

  I'm so confused. Where does it show she's still typing?

I feel like there have to be real text exchanges similar to this, but I always assume they’re fake, because they’re just too easy to fabricate. I wonder how many of them were actually real and I just didn’t believe it. Would’ve made them way more funny (not saying it’s not funny if they’re not, but still)

Where can i get these kinda grandma?👀

Why do people upvote this fake bullshit?

Seriously,

- Cause it's funny even if it's obviously fake

- this may be fake but it's funny fake, it's why it's upvoted xD

Why post this fake shit?

- It's fun. Similar to a joke, it doesn't need to be fully factual to get a laugh. I'd also like to think that if our generation lives to be grans, it's going to become quite realistic.

  Idk man... for me, these fake texts are far from funny. The same goes for staged youtube/tiktok videos. It's so much more enjoyable/funny with the subject matter is authentic.
  
  It could be a minority of us that doesn't like this sort of humor. Glad you get enjoyment out of it though. I just wish there was a way to filter this stuff out because I couldn't care less.
  
  but you won't see me commenting "FAKE" either. I just keep scrolling

- it's not meant to be real it's meant to be funny. a grandma calling someone a fucking weeb is pretty shocking and therein lies the humor

- Go back to reddit please

  I think the fake texts should stay on 9gag or iFunny.
