Guess I'm the one in ten.

Spent a good 30sec staring at the top line wondering wtf the writer was smoking before I read the bottom...

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I guess you don't have very punny friends. I basically saw the punchline coming from the thumbnail πŸ˜…

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 9 months ago

I went back to see if it was posted to dadjokes.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 79 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I can't say I'm not upset by this, but then I was taught violins is not the answer.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 26 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Probably has to do with the degradation of written language. With kids using emojis more than words these days our writing is being reduced to a bunch of cymbals.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago (2 children)

While I don't mean to harp and I'm not one to bassoon, but I've noticed moreso it's boomers who fiddle around with emojis.

[–] don@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I’ve noticed they seem to be the type to flute the law, but oboe do they hate being called out for it. They’re bongos, man, completely bongos.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

I'd be a lyre if I said yu weren't clever.

[–] histic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago

yea I get more emojis from my boomer grandma they I have ever from other people my age

[–] JizzmasterD@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago

πŸ₯ cymbals or symbols➰?

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 4 points 9 months ago

If you find it so disconcerting maybe you should report them and try to get them band.

[–] Pinklink@lemm.ee 45 points 9 months ago

You changed it the second time I read it, that’s cheating

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 33 points 9 months ago (3 children)

ADHD had me noticing "accordion" immediately. Shout out to all my ADHD friends!

[–] smb@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

ich you have adhd and asperger or better, you might end up beeing trained by yourself for ignoring google's, microsoft's or other f'uped up so called "autocorrection" and 'automatically' overlook single mismatching words but recognize the sentence as a whole without actually reading it word by word. some can read entire pages with a single look on it without focusing on a a specific region or i.e. the center while still beeing able to later rephrase the content of the entire page.

1up for all with special (dis-)Abilities!!

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I have Autism and it took me a few reads to notice.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

I was today years old when I learned I have ADHD. Haha just kidding... unless?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

Literally the only thing I noticed

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

But did you see the gorilla!?

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

[–] Switorik@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

I'm using boost, why do piped Links never work?

That's just the excuse they came up with to justify the doctor's handwriting. It's a conspiracy

Of course antidisestablishmentarianism is readable.

No. But some people like syn_attack & NigelFrobisher enjoy a word jumble challenge.

[–] Syn_Attck@lemmy.today 1 points 9 months ago

Well, LemmyKnowsBest!

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 9 months ago

I could read this haha

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 13 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I noticed it right away, does that mean I am the 10%?

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I noticed right away, too. But I'm also a guy who frequently sends emails to people whose blog posts have a typo or obvious editing mistake so they can correct them. There are a few who thank me each time. Others might think I'm the most annoying type of person. I just know I hate when I miss a mistake in my own writing.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Honestly, same here. Every time I notice a typo I have to point it out lol

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Yes you are.

[–] Shou@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Same, and I am moderately dyslexic. Enough so that I need to put more effort than normal into writing every word. Shame on everyone who missed it.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 13 points 9 months ago

I am the 90%.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Drum drum tshhh

[–] Master@lemm.ee 12 points 9 months ago

As a dyslexic person this whole thread made no sense to me and is full of fuckery.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

You can't slide trombone anything past me. I noticed it right away.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

* Well shit it took me a minuet.
FTFY

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Hahahahahahahaha oh that's so perfect

[–] iiGxC@slrpnk.net 7 points 9 months ago

I noticed it right away and was disappointed by the lack of a pun-chline

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There are two mistakes in the the current message you are reading.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

True. Invoking a paradox is a mistake.

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The lack of a second mistake is the the second mistake. I don't know if that is a paradox though.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

It's a paradox because if you count it as a mistake, then there are two mistakes, so it's not a mistake, so there's only one mistake, so it is a mistake.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I called my friend Andy "Amdy" for like two years before he noticed. This meme would work better spoken.

[–] antidote101@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Would probably work better if the word wasn't the first in the sentence. Humans probably use the first half of a sentence in their initial assumptions about what it's likely saying... Probably prioritising the first few the most.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

You can get away with all sorts of shenanigans and have your text still be readable - like removing all the vowels, or scrambling everything except the first and last letter of each word. Worth remembering when you see someone misspell a word they must have seen a million times.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

This meme is an impressively recent study!
