The trouble is that you do not know your popculture. When I lived it
up with the quotation of “Weird Al” Yankovic, I decided to make the subject
part of the subject because everyone should get it on first sight.

I never suggested that posters kill themselves. I challenge you and
all other readers to cite an instance of me doing that.

Again, ¿how was I supposed to know that you missed the whole 1990s? I
renamed the thread, so you should not be confused. Although it kills a joke to
explain it, I shall explain the reference in the song for you:
Back in 1979, computureprogrammers created Usenet. An
Usenetnewsgroupserver was a computere where people would post email-like
messages. Like email, these messages had subjects and were threaded. The
servers shared messages with the newer messages displacing the older messages.
This acted as a bulletinboardsystem. The people using it were intelligent and
either had dgrees or were in University working on degrees.
In 1993, AOL connected to Usenet. The AOLers were mentally deficient
and uneducated. The went around replying to long complicated posts with “¡Me
Too!”, followed by quoting the whole message. These brain-dead metoo AOLers
ruined Usenet.
When “It’s All About the Pentiums” came out in 1999, everyone got the
reference. Whenever some idiot metoos like a brain-dead AOLer, these lines,
from the song, immediately come to mind:
“¡And postin’, ‘¡Me Too!’, like some brain-dead AOL-er!”
“¡I should do the world a favor and cap you like Old Yeller!”
“¡You’re just about as useless as JPEGs to Hellen Keller!”
——
“Weird Al” Yankovic
Most people even with no knowledge of the song, you have got that this
section of the post was comic relief before going onto the next serious section
by the smily face. ;-)
I have an antimovie recommendation for you:
Do not see Paul. You will not get it. The whole movie will go right
over your head. ¡Swish!

Post Scriptum:
It just occurred to me that you may not get the reference to “Old
Yeller”:
Old Yeller is a 1956-book. Disney made a movie about it in 1957. It
has a dod named Old Yeller in it. An human named Travis has to euthanize Old
Yeller because of rabies. The manner of euthanasia is rifeshot.
You might want to study cultural references. You are as confused as
Picard in Darmok. I know that you do not get the reference. I recommend that
you search for “Darmok” on the internet.
