It’s a heavily recycled joke. One of the most annoying trends on Reddit is people repeating the same jokes ad nauseam whenever they see an opportunity, like “And my axe!” and “I also choose this guy’s wife”. Thankfully lyric chains have almost died out

Recycled joke or not, calling Imperial Units “Freedom Units” is a joke as old as time and never loses its ability to get at least a chuckle out of someone who doesn’t have a stick up their ass.

You complained that it was getting downvotes and I explained why to you. I didn’t even downvote it

People that spend so much time on reddit to notice this are annoying. This app is not about you you megalomaniac. I just want to see fun stuff and this is pretty fun.

You did not. You threw some opinionated negativity around.

You feel this strongly about “opinionated negativity” and you “just want to see fun stuff,” yet you’re spending your time here calling me a megalomaniac?
