It’s a type of Japanese poem with 3 lines, the first and last being 5 syllables and the middle line being 7 syllables.
I don’t really have an opinion on haikus in general, but making shitty haikus to be funny became somewhat of a meme in early 2010s nerd culture. I don’t think it started as a weeb thing, it was just a way to be “quirky” and “epic”.
The massive amount of shitty reddit bots is ridiculous. I remember there was an image going around where someone was talking about a family member committing suicide or something and a reply was like "I'm sorry for your loss" and it triggered the 'dadbot' to say "Hi sorry for your loss, I'm dad!"
Feel like with Japanese having a syllablic alphabet, trying to do that in a language with a phonetic alphabet (tell me if these are the wrong terms) is less meaningful or artistic. Agree? Or is that a dumb thought?
Yeah, haikus don't really make as much sense in English. Also, the syllable restriction isn't the only aspect of a haiku, there are other conventions you're supposed to follow, so none of the bot haikus are "real" haikus anyway.
Traditional Japanese haiku consist of three phrases that contain a kireji , or "cutting word", 17 on (a type of Japanese phoneme) in a 5, 7, 5 pattern, and a kigo or seasonal reference. Similar poems that do not adhere to these rules are generally classified as senryū .

Oh? What other kinds of things? If you don't mind explaining.
