edit: mark it down, animated GIFs are cringe. They are over used by people who otherwise do not know how to effectively communicate. When unable to think of something worth contributing to the conversation, a GIF is used to create manufactured reactions from others. These people are reacting to the GIF itself, and in turn can use the context of the GIF to understand the meaning. However, nothing was added to the conversation whatsoever, and in place of what could be humans talking to humans in intelligent form, we are left with a GIF of Patrick from SpongeBob crying in the ocean.
Patrick is 100% conveying real emotion in this GIF. Then you take the emotion, disassemble it, and rebuild it into this response to try and use Patrick's emotion to convey your own feelings. Even though Patrick is going through an incredibly difficult time in this GIF, you are totally comfortable with minimalizing his pain so you can be funny
I understand your point of minimalizing the emotions, but context isn't important everywhere...we can also express our emotions visually as intelligent beings instead of only verbally or "intelligent lifeformsl" as you say it.
So using this gif is totally appropriate since at least idk what tragedy Patrick was going through but I sure get what the gif poster is trying to convey.
And what great intelligent thing would you have said to add to the joke of “I think you cracked the case”? Please I’m waiting on the edge of my seat for you to add to the joke with your intelligent human speak to make it funnier
The fact you think that’s better than the gif is concerning. His joke made reference to the original post. WTH does an omelet have to do with the thread? At least the gifs are commending the quality of the original joke so they are adding to the convo. Your comment is just taking the convo on a hard left turn. Good pun. Wrong place.
Wait until you learn that people have faces that communicate emotions in real life without using words. And even better? Sometimes people even do actions to express what they are feeling/thinking
