    Ah I see, I just see it so often these days that it seems conceivable the people writing it and by extension those reading it; don’t realize they are making a joke/reference

    Yeah but do people really not know the phrase "how the tables have turned"?

      You would have assumed so, but a lot of kids are pretty much raised on the internet so it would not surprise me that there are a lot of people out there who do not, and I've seen it used where a joke clearly wasn't intended, I also think it's been repeated so much that some who know better have in internalized it so much they use it without realizing

        Paul Krugman is a ghoul but I wish he was right sometimes

        imagine entire generations of kids raised on reddit

          Unimaginable horror

          at least they're would be a sub group of kids banned from reddit and raised on ChaCha
