Saying Aafrica twice messes with the pacing/delivery to me. Maybe it should just say “I blessed the rains.”

    Or change the set up "Have you forgotten what happened in Kenya?"

    I know the song thanks.

    The point is everyone knows it, that’s why the joke lands. So saying “I blessed the rains” is enough that they’ll piece it together. Trust the audience a bit > saying Aafrica twice

    Why are they calling it Aafrica? Or is that just part of the other typos / spelling errors?

    This is likely because in the song from which this meme is riffing of of, Africa is sung with an elongated “a” like “aaaafrica”

    Edit: Africa by Toto, 1:20 seconds in

    That'd be pronounced like Ehfrika

    Why would a bot get that wrong? Everyone blames everything slightly odd on bits nowadays...

    ...and from a single meme we see the great divide between Gen X/Millenials and Gen Z. Poor Toto!
