Let me break it down for you:

  1. You posted a humorous meme that was easily understood
  2. I made a comment with a different joke along the same lines (Get it? Lines? Geometry?)
  3. You then explained (poorly) your original joke, thinking that I hadn't been able to grasp the surrealism of the underlying metaphor
  4. I made fun of your obtuse (See? More geometry there) "explanation"
  5. You still thought I hadn't understood and gave me a woosh
  6. Right back atcha
  7. Now you have gone back to explaining your joke again
  8. Why are you so angry? Lighten up

Surrealism doesn't mean what you think it means.

Also I still maintain that you didn't understand my original joke before the last explanation, otherwise you would have called the first one "unnecessary", not "poor".

Now, I didn't read your comment as a joke, and I still don't. I read it as a pun only, and I'm still very confused by its execution. You did not have to use Π. Also I don't see what the area has to do with anything here, since clearly the writing goes along the circumference; and if this is the point of your pun, "π r square, not. Round, π r, too." would have worked remarkably better.

Or maybe you can offer a different explanation for your joke? One that is not "you don't say"?

Edit: And about anger, I apologize. Clearly you could have put more effort into your first comment, which kinda triggered me, but you are not the reason I am pissed off, so you should also not be on the receiving end.

Surrealism doesn’t mean what you think it means.

Uhhh, it's a quote from HHGttG

Also I still maintain that you didn’t understand my original joke, otherwise you would have called my explanation “unnecessary”, not “poor”.

OK, if you say so

Now, I didn’t read your comment as a joke, and I still don’t. I read it as a pun only, and I’m still very confused by its execution.

Do you get confused a lot? I'm obviously impressed by your profound knowledge of geometry, but you may not have reached the part where you can use π to calculate the area of a circle: πr2, which is pronounced like pie are squared. Only pie are not squared, pie are round. Did ya get it now, honey? (Side note: It's not pronounced pie are two. Maybe that's why you still don't get it)

I think you should just give up and go to sleep now. That's what I'm going to do

You know what? You're right. “π r square, not. Round, π r, too.” would have worked remarkably better. 😜

I truly regret the time I wasted answering you, as I will never get that back…

I mean ... you have been arguing about geometry puns. What kind of ROI were you expecting?

[–] 7heo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I dunno what I was expecting. I am overworked, underpaid (my boss is a real hard ass, and keeps telling me we don't make enough to give me even minimum wage), and all my friends are super busy with life and work too, so I tried the "random online dudes" option. But I guess I come off as too abrasive for an easy, painless, and immediately rewarding experience... So it is what it is. Anyway, enough chit-chat, let's get back to work. Oh and one more thing: thanks for relaxing your tone too. It doesn't always seem important, but all the tiny grievances we experience every day add up, and the most seemingly innocuous things can end up being the last straw that broke the camel's back, and that's just unnecessary.

This comment thread is quite literally a condensed soap opera.
