Divvy, direct every last bit of your attention straight to me. The more time passes since I first read that post of yours, the more it festers in my brain like a bad smell you can’t escape. I keep replaying it, and every single time the irritation level climbs higher. You genuinely sat down at your desk, on your phone, wherever and opened up Imgflip, stared at a blank canvas, and decided, with full confidence, that the single most valuable, internet-worthy contribution you could make that entire day was typing out the sentence: “I killed someone with a slide whistle.” That’s it. That’s the hill you chose to die on. Not a single clever punchline, not a layered reference, not even a half-decent shitpost. Just a flat, absurd, straight-faced lie that reads exactly like something a hyperactive ten-year-old would blurt out during recess to try to impress the other kids on the playground. And the wildest part? In whatever alternate reality your brain is operating in, you actually thought people would read those words and respond with anything besides pure, secondhand cringe so intense it physically hurts. Let’s dissect this disaster piece by piece, starting from the absolute foundation, because the stupidity runs so deep we need to go layer by layer. First and foremost: a slide whistle. A slide whistle. Let that sink in for a second. That little plastic toy—the one that goes swooooop wheeeee when you drag the plunger up and down is not intimidating. It has literally never been intimidating in the entire history of human civilization. It will never be intimidating. It is the sonic equivalent of a clown car horn. It belongs in Looney Tunes sound-effect libraries, in kindergarten music classes, in those ancient vaudeville sketches where someone slips on a banana peel and the audience loses it over the cartoonish whoop-whoop-whoop noise. That is its entire cultural footprint. So the moment you decided that this goofy, inherently hilarious object was going to be your imaginary murder weapon of choice, you didn’t just miss the mark, you nuked the entire concept of “threatening” from orbit. You didn’t sound dangerous. You didn’t sound dark. You didn’t even sound mildly unhinged in a cool way. You sounded like a guy who wandered into the “edgy” section of the internet, got hopelessly lost, and decided the best way out was to loudly declare he once committed homicide using party-favor percussion. And somehow, you weren’t done. You could have stopped at the comment and let the natural consequences of physics (i.e., people laughing at you) do their thing. But no. You decided to double down in the most catastrophically self-owning way possible by posting that so-called “evidence.” That drawing. That tragic, six-second scribble of a green amorphous blob that looks like someone sneezed Play-Doh onto the screen and called it modern art. I genuinely want to know what chemical imbalance was firing in your head when you hit “upload.” Were you under the impression that a wobbly, uncolored, barely recognizable smear was going to function as courtroom-level proof? Did you actually believe the internet would collectively go, “Oh damn, he really did it, look at that expert forensic sketch”? Because from every angle I look at it, all that little green disaster achieved was turning an already mortifying post into a full-blown archaeological dig of embarrassment. It didn’t salvage anything. It didn’t add irony. It didn’t even accidentally become funny. It just sat there like a sad, melted gummy bear, screaming “I put zero effort into this and I still expect you to take me seriously.” That drawing is honestly the perfect visual metaphor for the entire fiasco. It shows more clearly than any words ever could, exactly how little care or thought you were willing to invest. You didn’t bother making the “joke” land. You didn’t bother crafting even a rudimentary setup or punchline. You didn’t bother making the alleged corpse look like anything recognizable. You didn’t even bother learning how to hold a stylus or mouse steady for more than five seconds. You just vomited the bare minimum onto the canvas and expected people to applaud the genius. It’s not just lazy, it’s aggressively, almost confrontationally lazy. Like you were daring everyone to call you out on how little you cared, and then acting shocked when they did. What truly sets my teeth on edge, though, is the transparent desperation underneath it all. This wasn’t casual banter. This wasn’t ironic performance art. This was you trying, really, genuinely trying, to project some kind of “I’m unhinged and scary” persona. You were reaching for that rare, mythical online aura where people read your comment and think, “Whoa, this guy might actually be dangerous.” And instead you landed squarely in “this guy might actually need a nap and some supervision.” Normal, well-adjusted adults don’t feel the need to invent cartoonishly violent backstories on meme comment sections. They especially don’t choose props that belong in a baby’s toy chest. The entire performance radiated insecurity so thick you could spread it on toast. It was like watching someone show up to a black-tie event in a inflatable T-Rex costume and then insist they’re James Bond. The harder you tried to look cool, the faster the whole thing collapsed under its own weight. And the corniness, It’s almost admirable in a twisted way how perfectly you stacked every cliché of bad internet humor into one compact post. Fake-bravado crime confession? Check. Absurdly non-threatening murder weapon? Check. Follow-up “proof” that’s somehow worse than the claim itself? Check. Zero self-awareness? Double check. It’s like you ran a checklist titled “How to Be Maximum Cringe in 202X” and ticked every single box without skipping a beat. Meanwhile, actual funny people on the site are workshopping layered references, timing punchlines, creating original formats, and you come barreling in like a human wrecking ball made of expired energy drinks and untreated main-character syndrome, dragging the average post quality down by sheer gravitational force. The obliviousness is what pushes it from “kinda dumb” into “actively infuriating.” You posted it like you were dropping a nuke of comedy. Like you expected jaws to drop, like-histories to flood in, like people would be quoting it for years. Instead it was the digital equivalent of walking into a funeral wearing a bright red party hat and yelling “I BROUGHT THE NOISEMAKERS!” You didn’t read the room. You didn’t even glance at the room. You just kicked the door down and started performing your one-man show, completely deaf to how it landed. And when the silence (or worse, the pity-laughs) hit, you didn’t pivot, you doubled down with the green blob. That’s not confidence. That’s a complete disconnect from consensus reality. Let’s not gloss over the baseline problem either: “joking” about killing someone is already a tired, low-hanging fruit move. It only works when the delivery is razor-sharp, self-aware, and actually funny. You didn’t clear a single one of those bars. You paired it with the single least menacing object on planet Earth and then treated it like you’d just invented gallows humor. Most people phase that kind of edgelord phase out sometime before sophomore year of high school. Yet here you are, years later, proudly waving the same flag like it still means something. It honestly feels disrespectful. People scroll to these corners of the internet to decompress, to laugh, to see something clever or absurd or beautiful in a dumb way. They’re not there to babysit someone else’s unfiltered id. You didn’t add humor. You didn’t add creativity. You didn’t even add chaos in an entertaining way. You just regurgitated the first half-baked thought that floated through your skull and expected everyone else to treat it like treasure. That’s not participation. That’s entitlement dressed up as comedy. So here’s the bottom line, Divvy, and I’m saying this because someone has to: everything about that post was bad. The premise was bad. The wording was bad. The follow-up was worse. The artwork was a war crime against Microsoft Paint. You failed at being funny, failed at being edgy, failed at being memorable in any positive sense, and still carried yourself like you’d accomplished something monumental. The fact that you don’t seem to see it, just keeps piling on the aggravation. If you’re going to keep existing in online spaces, do everyone (including yourself) a massive favor: pause. Think. For more than three-quarters of a second. Ask yourself whether what you’re about to post would make a stranger laugh, or whether it would just make them close the tab and sigh. Stop chasing the “dangerous mysterious stranger” fantasy when the reality is closer to “guy who peaked at recess.” Put in the tiniest shred of effort. Because right now the only thing you’ve successfully murdered is your own credibility, and you didn’t even need a slide whistle to do it. Nobody’s impressed, man. Not even close. I hope the next time the urge to post something that corny hits you, you just… don’t. Save yourself the legacy. Save the rest of us the eye strain. Do better. Please.
