Thank god for the red circle, I wouldn’t have known how to read otherwise.

Where’s the red circle? Can someone point it out?

[–] Endmaker@ani.social 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Someone should have circled it in red.

Not quite can you circle it please?

Finally found it. For clarity, I indicated its location with bright red text. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure what reaction I'm supposed to have to this post. Can somebody add emojis?

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I know this is an edit, but Catherine saying "Dylan" made me laugh.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't think there's any edit. All the quotes feature the "obvious plant" logo.. So it's probably just part of the prank

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Now I'm not sure, but I think it's an edit because the font and punctuation of Catherine's quote is completely different from Dylan's. It looks like someone copypasted his signature as her quote.

I’ve seen this picture like 10 times, and I only just noticed that it’s a picture of a computer screen. Is this from a video game?

Notice the little green symbols? Obvious Plant makes fake products and images

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Okay, this goes a step further. Someone snapped a photo of the original joke on their computer, which explains the scanlines, and then put a white box around the image. What an odd thing to do.

Don't forget the red circle!

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

I used to put boxes around my memes, which was the style at the time.

[–] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago

No, Catherine, clearly what scares you most is THE TRUTH!

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

This is an obvious plant

Yes the definition of a meme is to share/repost something.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Anybody know what the original text was? No 8 year old kid would say something like this.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

The whole thing is fake. Search for “obvious plant.” They make funny fake products and ads and flyers and polls, etc
