I have this 'tarded gimmick irl life

Before coming to the point, I'm glad arslashdrama exists because they banned me from r/just_post so I didn't have a sub to shitpost for a long time, drama fills this space perfectly.

So, yeah, as I was saying, it's entertaining being a complete retard on the internet. But you know what's more entertaining? Being as confusing as possible without being labeled 'tard in real life. I have this gimmick that I ask questions where they don't belong. My favorite is asking "why?" to an information that won't have an answer. Sometimes I ask "which day is today?", someone replies "Thursday" or whatever. Then I ask "why?". As if I'm geniunely wondering why today is Thursday. For a short moment their brains shutdown because "Why is today Thursday?" isn't a question that it can meaningfully answer yet it searches for an answer because I ask in a way as if it has a satisfying teleological one. Those shortcircuit, total confusion moments reflect on their eyes and face. I love and enjoy it . You can apply "why?" question to anything, from birthdays to the location of some shop. "Where is Starbucks?", "It's on X street", "Why?".

We have this sense of order about world, we take reality for granted and get used to it because familiarity helps navigating in the world. I guess that's why it's funny to break this sense of order. As an extension to what I said above, being eccentric and out-of-character also helps to confuse people. I used to work in a secondhand bookstore. Sometimes people asked me to recommend something or what I usually read. My favorite answer was "I don't like reading. The last time I read something I was in highschool and that was because our teacher made me do it. I find this whole reading thing very pointless tbh", then I proceeded to recommend books with reasons why I think they should or shouldn't read them. The same thing with "why question". Their brain shortcuits because they see a young man working in a bookstore and seems to be very passionate about it tells them it's pointless and boring to read but also knows cons and pros of even obscure books. Their brain.exe would stop working and I loved it every moment. My boss also had my sense of humor so oftentimes he purposely directed clients to me.

I have some other tricks too but it seems like this is getting out of hand. Even this is way too long.

Tl;dr: Be a retard on in real life rl too.

People arent confused about your 'confusing' questions and exclamations, they just think you are retarded, which you obviously are. Thats what you see in their eyes.

Hate to break it to you dude, but someone pausing for a few seconds when you ask them "why is it Thursday?" isn't doing it because their brain shut down, but because it comes off as sounding incredibly stupid

I would even go as far so to say that you know that on some level, and are posting this essay here as a way to preemptively cope with it a la "I actually act retarded for my own amusement!"

Smooth 🧠 shit right here, king.

I have a three year old so I'm already used to this tactic.

This is why we need mayocide.

I didn't read this.

all those words

Pass

I had to read some of this to make fun of you

In a way it was meta, because from your writing I can tell you no ones brain is shutting from you pretending to be a retard, that's just a confused response to an actual retard
