Or the fact that he's apparently cut the chest out of his t-shirt, while his vest doesn't wrap around the back of his torso.

As someone who grew up in a white trash landfill, that's probably the least suspicious thing

I was thinking that. The first time I saw this I didn't look closely and thought "yes, this is pretty much how I remember it, except I'd be scared that guy was going to ash out his cigarette in my burger and slap me on the back of the head as he leaves because he's probably one of my cousins".

This is 100% accurate.

I only learned it was fake today, from this post. I mean, I see all the little details now, but before I just assumed someone found an old picture of their dad and wanted some internet points. There's part of me that sees the humor in gettin got, but it's a nervous laugh for how easily I got got. Near future's gonna be wild

I think that's pretty bad ass actually.

Nicely done, that's hilarious. The current state of "AI" is deeply embarrassing and massively over-hyped. Maybe a few trillion more dollars of funding will do the trick...

Don't underestimate the ability of someone selling denim jackets with white t-shirt sleeves sewn into them.
