This is rant. Although, if i need a disclaimer, this probably isnt a very convincing rant (clearly, im no John Oliver). again, if you came here for a list, you are going to be disappointed on several different levels (then, you have material to write '39 ways in which people misuse the word "meta"' or whatevs else). But, seriously, that phenomenon, if anybody can care is getting a bit out of hand. And sometimes, even cracked.
The whole purpose of listing was to somehow have a tangible connection between people. to give the reader a 'ah, even other people have this issue' feeling and not 'who the hell are these people'. Exhibit A: 29 things only people with glasses go through. TWENTY NINE! TWENTY NINE! holy shit, they are glasses not the philosopher's stone. And the sheer inanity dripped from these random tidbits with badly placed gifs of Deepika Padukone doing a fantastic llama impersonation by just being.
I think (because by this point, dear reader, you might have realized that accuracy or any form of coherence is forbidden in the post. Ooh, look rabbit!), one of the reasons was 'you get called chashmish'. well, no. on account of not being born in 'kuchh kuchh hota hai', i havent been referred to as 'chashmish'. no. just, ok, no. Another was that the world looks blurred when you take them off. Well, wasnt that clever. Thats just a description of the basic functions of glasses. Nothing special, seriously, not even an extra X chromosome (thats a very roundabout dark joke, if I was famous, I might have had protests outside my house)
But annoying gifs and obvious descriptions aside, this format is least conducive to chuckles or whatever you go there looking for. The ones with specific locations or particular movies is just pointless. Those who've seen said movie/are from place mentioned will find these obnoxiously tedious and others have no idea of the context.
Alright, so rather scattered rant over. This was very futile indeed. And i dont even have a video of tiny hampsters eating tiny burritos to compensate for this. Drat!
