I'm completely baffled that these people couldn't recognize the troll after two responses. Even worse, they continued after the book post. I have to assume they were also going along with the troll for a laugh. They can not be this incredibly dense.

Smuuth like your brane?
Even smuuther. I believe they're approaching the ideal frictionless surface.
Smuuuve, bruv!
This proves two things:
- Internet arguments are pointless.
- Playing dumb on the Internet and refusing to admit the bit under any circumstances is hilarious.
You forgot one more point:
- Sharks are smooth.
Duh, everyone knows that.
I promise you, sharks are as smooth as freshly shaven legs of a plastic doll, or my name isn't Margot Elise Robbie.
So you admit it?
This made me laugh SO hard, I just... I don't know even why.
Because it is a comedic reflection of what is happening right now with certain people insisting misinformation is fact and true despite all evidence to the contrary. (Eg: trump won, vaccines kill, ETc.)
This is why "/s" was invented, no matter how silly it might seem.
Because human skulls are thick af.
/s takes any grain of humour of of everything. Ambiguity is an important part of communication.
Well that's a stupid little take, you must communicate in exhaustive detail while on the internet. It's in the rules!
I’m old enough to have been an adult when the internet was first opened up to the general public. I remember guides to writing email that stressed that you should be careful using irony or sarcasm, that the tone was very difficult to convey. I don’t know what it could be, but there seems to be something about online communication that makes it next to impossible to use such devices.
They're actually quite thin, like a shark's smooth skin.
This is an interrogation technique: make a presumptive statement, and try to be wrong about it. People will jump out of their skin to correct you, even when they're coached to not answer questions (but honestly it's really hard for people not to answer questions).
Cunningham's Law states "The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."
No that's Godwin's Law!
Case in point
I thought that was about things you did not see coming?
Post of the century.
I just don't even know how they think this joke is suppose to work while explaining sharks skin is rough to the touch.
"Smooth looking lions that feel rough when you touch them are eating me."
Like, wtf man, why not explain that you cant talk while under water while getting eaten by sharks.
Yeah, but shark skin is like sandpaper. Especially rough when rubbed "against the grain"
I don't know what you're talking about buddy, shark skin is slick and smooth for hydrodynamic porpoises.
No you were probably feeling the Sandpaper Shark, which is actually a species of fish, not shark. Sharks are smooth.
Wow, this one is really good
You're mistaken. Shark skin is known for its smoothness when rubbed from any angle.
I'm convinced! Sharks are smooth
Dude's brain is smooth from any direction.
Everyone knows that sharks are the fastest animals on the earth
Their skin is so smooth that there's no friction between them and water

I wish there was a way to automatically block any account that posts one of these super shitty tall images
