This almost feels like a greentext

Do people believe this is real?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

No? I think the other question is what the community is for? I think it's appropriate based off the community description, although I don't remember the last time I have seen a post that wasn't obviously satire.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Good point.

Peak lunatic satire

Truly the Ken M of LinkedIn

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago

Oh fuck how could i forget the legend Ken M? Thanks haha imma go look him up again

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

He is both the hero we need and the hero we deserve.

[–] [email protected] 104 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Thank goodness, I was hoping this was satire.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 week ago

Oh yeah, Ken fools a lot of people. He’s maybe even inspired the actual lunatics, wouldn’t be shocked.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago

It hit me when he said 5 of my friends with MBAs, and there's only 3 of them.

For people who don't know Ken Cheng is satire and making fun of LinkedIn people.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 week ago

He is hilarious, and the comments he incites are even better.

Ken Cheng is a British comedian. He likes to take the piss out of business people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Cheng

I was about to say, this guy is glazing MBA's way too hard for this not to be a joke.

I’ve never met anyone with an MBA who wasn’t a moron.

[–] [email protected] 85 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Maybe the non-morons don't make a point of telling you they have an MBA.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yep. I know a few people who got their workplace to pay for it. It was an incredibly easy way for them to pad their resume and ensure higher pay ranges at stupid workplaces that gated stuff like that.

Only came up when we were talking about schooling (I was still finishing mine).

Everyone that made a big deal of it though, complete morons.

Kind of like how the worst people in tech brag about their certifications

You should meet my brother then. He has an MBA and CPA and runs an accounting firm. He's pretty chill and treats his workers extremely well, while taking most of the lame work for himself.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

“He must not have gone to a good school for his MBA then” - people with MBAs, probably

ITT: Commenters so eager to shit on people they miss the most obvious satire.

Commenters so eager to shit on people

To be fair, that’s the only purpose of this community. But the post is brilliant 😄

As someone who grew up in Ireland, we are sarcastic cunts. Hence, I always read everything as satire.

Clever bait

This guy spent the whole date creticing the restaurant we were in. Not once did he mention that satern was visible, or that the JWSt is scanning the Orion cluster looking for new young planets. Brought up the moon and he mentioned mineing rights and opertinitys to Frack the moon. Only thing he was exited about space was Elon and his polluting starlink WiFi adapters that have destroyed the night sky.

Dude, you gotta fix your autocorrect, or at least set it up.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's kind of adorably misspelled in a way you don't see too often anymore. I hope they don't edit the post

As if an MBA was an achievement. My wifes brother made a Harvard MBA in his free time (paid for by his employer), and considered it laughably easy. I've read the course books he gave me, and I agree. For someone coming from the natural sciences side of things, MBA is kindergarten level. It is amazing with how little actual knowledge people get into high business positions nowadays.

They're less funny to me when they're intentional/satire.

I want to assume it's sarcasm, but honestly I'm not sure.

Just to be sure: This is a meme, right?

Lemmy is not beating the spectrum rumors with satire detection skills like this.

People that actually think this way probably do have binders full of "elite-level females".
