This is the lowest-effort attempt at faking a sign I’ve seen in a while.

Didn't even bother to line the second line up with the row it's supposed to be on. We demand higher quality memes

They gave up.

because it's a fake sign designed to be read wrong.

Because there is a reddit sub called "r/youdontmattergiveup" which is just posts that you read wrong

Both exist. One is for posts that's are meant to be read horizontally and one is for posts meant to be read vertically.

There's also a 3rd one for posts that don't make sense if read in the wrong direction, but I forgor 💀

Which way is the right way... ? Asking for a friend...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You give up, don't matter.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes I know that and I’ve already given up. This sign is even more useless than me…
