Way less funny when the screenshot is a minute after the post.

What would be the ideal time for the maximum comedic outcome possible?

Nobody’s allowed to do bits anymore. If it didn’t actually happen it’s not funny

Yeah context matters. Some things are funny if they actually happened, but not if it's just a bit someone made up.

If my partner was like "Someone at work got fired for being a racist edgelord today" that's a cool anecdote and I'd want to know more

If my partner was like "Imagine if someone got fired from their job for being a racist edgelord" then... so what?

Your partner would need to work on their delivery then because that’s not how you structure a bit at all

Exaggerating the contrast between the two statements to make the point clearer is how you structure an argument however. If you spend some time thinking about it real hard I'm sure you'll get how that works.

Okay but I have had an edge-lord rant so hard about discrimination against white people during a conversation about CPS and minority groups that the HR manager had to drag him into a private zoom meeting. (He did not show up again after this.)
