    You don’t need to know cultural trivia to become a citizen. Especially not all of it. But when a person is living somewhere (which you don’t need to be a citizen to do), that person tends to be exposed to the culture.

    As well, this could just be someone familiar with the culture who missed a pun because they’re thinking about work.

    I’m not sure what caused you to get so worked up about this. The joke is perfectly reasonable to make, and there’s the chance that the Dasher learned a bit of cultural trivia thanks to this joke. Or they learned that they missed a pun and may get to have a laugh about it in hindsight. There’s no harm or foul here.

      Ahh yes, throw away lines and not giving a shit about “karma” sorry, I mean “Lemmy community care points”

      …and you’re right, there’s no harm in food apps and hoping gig workers enjoy my Christmas jokes. I’m helping this new economy 💪

      I’m a fucking saint.

        I’m sorry that this is how you’re choosing to spend your Christmas. Or your Boxing Day as the case may be.

        If you don’t celebrate those, I’m still sorry that you’re choosing to spend your time this way.

          “We’re both commenting on the Internet; but I’m right for it and you’re wrong for it!”

          -Classic fuckin internet comment. Very original. Good arguing. “I’ll shame them into winning, I’ll go after the exact same activity I’m doing”

          You’re so clever! \s
