    To be fair you need a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty a Twitter thread

    In all seriousness there’s a difference between being a nerd, being smart, and having a high IQ, and the interchanging of these terms can mislead people. The same thing is happening with the term “Techbro” elsewhere in this thread.

      and you haven’t yet understood that you’re missing the point, and that you’re sounding like an utter dipshit with your foot so thoroughly in mouth?

        When did lemmy get so mean? I didn’t miss the point. I get that the joke is nft bros don’t understand that people hate them because they’re sexist scam artists, not because they claim to be nerds. Are we limited to only responding directly to the main point of a post? That’s a little limiting to the variety of discussions we could be having, don’t you think?

        Since people don’t seem to have gotten my point: I’m not defending techbros. I’m saying that it’s strange to make the title about IQ when they aren’t pretending to have a high IQ, they’re pretending to be nerds. Those are different things.

              IP is the meanest protocol because without it nobody could yell at me when I steadfastly refuse to acknowledge the merest possibility that there could be a joke I don’t understand

      the punchline to your joke was The Aristrocrats and yet there were no aristocrats present in the body of the joke

      in all seriousness, not all incestuous families are aristrocratic, and the interchanging of these terms can mislead people. the same thing is happening with the “comedy” elsewhere in this thread.
