And then you try to tell them it's a joke and they say "jokes are supposed to be funny"

But like? It is?? How is it not funny???

I guess you'd have to accept that it was an absurd postulate. And they did not.

My favorite was all of the "Doesn't he know this happened 60 years ago!" Like, mf don't YOU know this happened 60 years ago!
