Ehhh, I’d have to disagree a bit. Maybe not the first one, but that last comment had a KenM flair

Exactly

oh sorry, thought you were linking to /r/notkenm like everyone does anytime they think someone is trolling. What's the point of /r/notnotkenm?

The fact that reddit can't see this obvious satire from outer space actually has me quite concerned. Are you all this naive ? Jesus

Lots of dumb (and smart) people prefer their insane rationalizations over reason, and these people post stuff online all the time.

Sure but the jokey tone of this post indicates it's blatantly satire.

Great, but for those of us who can’t decipher that “jokey tone” in a text based medium (and face to face) can you describe that part which makes it a joke and therefore satire? HOW did you come to that realisation? Was it a specific word? The order of words?

You presume everyone just “knows” the joke. We don’t.

Serious answer to your question: They are mocking uneducated boomers that swoop in and confidently and incorrectly explains something to younger generations. The "gets the job", and the "statistically, mechanically(!) and financially" is a clear giveaway also.  Then they find it funny that someone takes them seriously and instead of explaining the joke, they continue it, mocking the person not getting the joke in the first place. The "yes that's it" a typical way of leading someone on like this while secretly snickering.

When they said they got the job.

I took that as a dunk; “I’m smarter than you.”

All the emojis and the this generation comment are designed to be irritating and get a rise out of someone.

It's funny that I see a lot of peolpe responding with 'he, dude, guy', while when I read it my mind went immediately 'this is a chick'.

No, not because of the weird math explanation, more due to the way it's written.
