Here's mine, from a holiday gathering with chuds in my extended family (CW: ableism):

"Wokeism is so deranged that it's making everyone else crazy! Look at E-L-O-N! He was trying to save humanity(tm) and designing rockets but now he's unhinged because the wokes are that much crazier!" :grillman:

You heard it here first. The reason E-L-O-N is showing his whole ass to the world right now is because of the Wokes(tm). :galaxy-brain:

    I mentioned this in another thread, but the worst take I've heard this month, possibly ever, is from a coworker. There was a workplace trivia email thing, the answer was Nelson Mandela. Coworker didn't recognize the name, so I explained who Mandela was, used the word apartheid, so coworker asked me to define apartheid too. I called it something like "a brutal system of racial segregation where black people were forced into poverty and put into schools that purposefully didn't work." I said something about barbed wire around the white neighborhoods in South Africa too.

    Coworker said "We need that here, now."
