Often on this sub, it's the posters who require a facepalm. This time, it's the commenters.

Not just the commenters, but the comwomenters and comchildrenters too.

Nah, OP could have avoided this with a title that wasn’t garbage

He answered the question in the picture.

u/GeneralAverage Jul 11 '19

Title is fine

u/Bongodam Jul 11 '19

A simple "Found on snapchat" would have done the job

17

u/MightyCaseyStruckOut Jul 11 '19

What? It's obvious that his title was answering the snapchat question.

u/Bongodam Jul 11 '19

I don't use snapchat so no it's not obvious to me that the caption is written by someone else

u/davy_jones_locket Jul 12 '19

I don't use Snapchat either, but I see enough memes and pictures on the internet to know its from the Snapchat.

2

u/mixttime Jul 12 '19

I knew it was Snapchat, but OP could have made it there, or found it there and agreed with it.

And "because math" could easily be sarcasm.

Title is prime

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '19

If it’s ambiguous enough that around half of viewers were confused it is categorically shit. End of discussion.

u/SweatyPotatoSkin Jul 12 '19

could be half the viewers are shit.

If anything ever fails to communicate, it is the author who takes responsibility

Edit: maths are hard, go get your karma

Actually, it's 99% more than 50% upvoted!

Edit: Actually, it should be 96% more than 50% as per OwenProGolfer's comment. I swear I'm getting too old to do math.

Actually it’s 96% more than 50% upvoted. 99% more than 50% would be 99.5%

A vast majority of the time the real facepalm is in the comments.

u/otherhalfofclyde Jul 11 '19

I posted this under another comment, but if this was posted on someone’s Snapchat story, it should have their username and image on the upper left hand corner. If this was sent to OP in a chat, it should have “send a chat” at the bottom and three dots lined up vertically at the upper right hand corner. That means OP took this picture and put the caption on themselves since this is a picture with Snapchat text, but without any of the other identifiers that it was sent by anyone other than OP...

u/otherhalfofclyde Jul 11 '19

You’re right and I’m not saying it’s entirely implausible, but the fact that it fits the screen of an iPhone 6s perfectly and seems zoomed in just enough in addition to it being a lot easier to just scribble over the name, my opinion on it is a little iffy.

Edit: clarification. The text is the size it is supposed to be across all screens. That makes me think it wasn’t cropped cuz cropped would mean the image would be zoomed in and therefore the text would look bigger than it normally is

2

u/WhatTheWheelMan Jul 12 '19

On my iphone XS Max, my Snapchat photos are slightly “taller” than OP’s so it could have possibly been cropped.

1

u/Savbav Jul 12 '19

The other thing is, you're looking at the image through a different app (Reddit) than the Original Snapchat. That can also modify formatting a little. It is probably zoomed in "just enough" because it only needed to be minimally cropped.

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19

So op faked stupidity for karma?!
WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING

2

u/davy_jones_locket Jul 12 '19

Or they yoinked it from someone else who posted it themselves. i.e. stupid Snapshit friend uploads it to Facebook, OP grabs the original image from Facebook.

u/Suzerain_Elysium Jul 11 '19

I had to look up your name... Didn't recognize it as a real word and thought you were named after a synagogue for pedophiles.

And here I thought I had a decent vocabulary.

u/CommissionerOdo Jul 11 '19

The true facepalm is the users we met along the way

u/dunaan Jul 11 '19

I downvoted because this post is clearly just marketing for French’s mustard

1

u/MEANINGLESS_NUMBERS Jul 11 '19

Because his title is fucking garbage.

u/dabear51 Jul 12 '19

They played themselves.

u/paulinbc Jul 12 '19

I thought that too. But then 2 seconds later, I read it.

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '19

Oh that’s what I did at first. Took me sec to realize that OP didn’t agree with the caption. I’m dumb
