Which psychopath brushes their teeth first and then eats breakfast like he’s in some kind of stupid movie

LemmyKnowsBest,

clearly it’s the same kind of psychopath who would also wash his car and check his email and use a hair dryer in the shower

tweeks,

Well, I have been doing this for a couple of years now. I brush my teeth before eating in the morning because apparently that’s better for your teeth, otherwise you might damage enamel. Or you wait for at least 30-60 minutes, but nobody’s got time for that. Just rinsing with water after eating is fine.

Truth is I usually don’t eat breakfast, so I don’t have to think about it. But when I do, it’s this order for me now.

It doesn’t say that, at least in the way I interpret the text. It says you should wait to brush your teeth after a given time after eating

tweeks,

Exactly, 30 to 60 minutes. I linked to the second paragraph, the one before suggests it might be better to brush before breakfast. But waiting is fine as well of course.

Brushing immediately after eating breakfast may actually cover your teeth with remnants of acidic food, which weakens your enamel.

And then

Waiting 30 minutes to an hour after eating to brush your teeth is the best way to ensure that you’re protecting your teeth and not tampering with your enamel.

Brushing before you eat isn’t in this article at all

tweeks, (edited )

The article title is literally “Should I Brush My Teeth Before or After Breakfast?” starting with this exact sentence:

"Brushing before you eat breakfast is better for your tooth enamel and overall oral health. However, if you prefer brushing after you eat, wait about 30-60 minutes."

With the first follow-up header: “Why it may be better to brush before breakfast”.

Are we not reading the same article or are you trolling me and am I going for that bait…?

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

But that ‘no one:’ makes the joke.

Varyk,

I don’t see how

Sombyr,

It’s a weird gen Z thing. The original point of the “no one” meme was to make jokes about people responding to things nobody has ever said. Subverting the punchline is a way to increase humor because it’s not expected. Misusing the meme phrase entirely sets you up to think the meme is going in a direction you’re familiar with only to be a completely different meme, thus increasing the humor. However the “no one” meme has been used this way so often that misusing it became the default use of it instead. Now the humor from it comes from the opposite, in that it’s basically a universal buildup that works for any joke. More or less it’s a beat phrase that sets up a brief moment of suspense for the punchline, similar to how comics will have dialogueless beat panels to increase the humor of the punchline.

Gen Z grew up with this kind of humor, which is why they think it’s so much funnier than older people do. Equally, gen alpha will likely have completely different humor gen Z doesn’t understand.

Varyk, (edited )

I understand that it’s somehow being used incorrectly, but I’m not sure I understand that a correct usage of it would be.

Isx the joke here supposed to be “nobody has ever said girl’s hands are cold”?

Because that’s a common trope in TV shows, novels, regular conversation.

If the joke is that girl’s hands are cold, why would you need “no one”, and if the joke is that nobody would talk about girls hands being cold, then clearly that’s incorrect.

I appreciate the long explanation, I just do not understand it yet and I’ve received so many different explanations of what “no one” is supposed to mean without getting any closer to what the joke is.

And I completely agree that whatever the original meaning was is essentially lost in people just put the phrase “no one” in front of any image pretending it is a setup to a joke that it is not.

That’s why I crop these images, because there doesn’t seem to be anything semantically or comedically gained from “no one”.

It’s like putting a hat on a hat.

Sombyr, (edited )

Put simply it isn’t a joke. It’s evolved to the point where it basically means “prepare yourself, a joke’s coming.”

It’s just a meme that got so overused that it doesn’t mean anything anymore.

Think of it like how 90% of knock knock jokes don’t need the setup of answering the door, it’s just a familiar setup. Why is a banana knocking on the door? Why does there need to be a door in the setup of interrupting cow? That’s what “no one” means to younger people. It’s a familiar way to set up the joke.

Edit: I forgot to mention, correct usage would be something like:

Nobody:
Me: A trillion lions could totally defeat the sun.

The joke being nobody asked, nobody cares, and I said it anyway.

Varyk,

Okay, thank you for the explanation, I think I understand the structure now.

It’s a non-sequitir with an extra step, and despite the setup only making sense preceding non-sequitirs, the setup is used constantly with things people commonly talk about, are obviously popular or easy to get.

I think the knock knock setup makes sense because it very clearly sets the audience in a framework, encouraging you to inquire about the situation that you interrupt by subverting expectations via a punchline.

The no one line seems more like gilding a lily, a hat on a hat, superfluous.

It doesn’t add much to a joke or non-sequitur, it’s just pointing out that this thing from left field is from left field, while of course if the statement was from left field then you wouldn’t need to explain that it was from left field.

Weird.

I understand it better now, and I appreciate your explanation, but I’ll keep cropping these as I see them.

The no one line feels too much like a kindergartener rubbing their hands together like “I have a joke for you! My joke is a statement!”

Sombyr,

Feel free. The whole “no one” thing has gotten a bit annoying for me too, since the initial memes of it showed up well into my adulthood, well past when my sense of humor had already developed and mostly solidified. I suppose we’re all becoming old people shaking our fist at those darn kids we can’t understand. It’s just good to keep in mind they grew up in a different world with different jokes and games, so their humor is always gonna seem a little weird.

I prefer to embrace it and just use the memes even more wrong to make them cringe. I think that’s hilarious.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

That’s because it’s not ‘how’ it’s ’no one:’.

Varyk,

You being less funny doesn’t make that phrase funnier

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

No one:

This person being mean:

Varyk,

No one:

Caring

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

See?

Now you’re understanding!

Varyk,

Your revelation might just be relative to your general understanding

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

You’ve got to dumb that down about 87% for me to understand.

Varyk,

Stop playing, there’s no way you understand percentages

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

A baseless personal attack!

This is getting fun, do it again Varyk.

Varyk,

I didn’t know that would hit so close to home.

I’m glad you find this fun.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

I don’t know what hits home because you still haven’t dumbed it down so I can understand, buddy.

Varyk,

No worries, nobody expected you to

SatansMaggotyCumFart,
Varyk,

yuriy,

if we wanna be semantic, it does make it funnier by comparison to this new, absolute-funny-zero

Varyk,

Really?

I’m not asking this facetiously, can you explain how?

I find the cropped version funnier.

yuriy,

we’re talking about the wording of a randy’s comment at this point, not the actual post lol

Varyk,

Haha oh a hundred percent I’m just blahblahing now that I found out what it’s supposed to mean.

victorz,

Honest question, what would you do with it? Would you use it? If so, for what?

abbadon420,

Frist thing that comes to mind is write a hello world program XD

I’d probably play around with the OS too. Maybe buy a book to help me explore all the “new” features. I recently found an old palmtop computer with an old school touch screen on my parent’s attic. I had lots of fun figuring out how that thing worked and now I’m trying to tweak it.
