This is what it's like making jokes on the internet in general these days. Say something that is clearly absurd for the sake of humor, and then get hit with a ton of "um achtually..." responses.
True... But... How would a Koala not have Koalafications, but a bear does?
It's a very polarbearizing issue.
Yeah lol, that's exactly where my pedantic ass went too, the joke doesn't actually make sense...
Shut up nerd

"Why aren't bears considered marsupials?" They don't have the koalafications!
From one pedantic person to another...
NEEEEEERRRRRD
It's purely nepotism. You have have the right parents to be a bear.
Because going through college is a grizzly process
Grizzlies always have the bear necessities needed to get a job done
Because they're high all the time and dont study.
Koalas are too nearsighted.
For bears, "bear necessities" can be considered analogous to koalafications in koalas.
That's not what happened in the scenario above, is it?
Asking 'why aren't koalas considered bears?' isn't clearly absurd.
If they'd said the punchline and then the other person said well actually they're marcupials, then fair enough. That just isn't what happened here though.
Sometimes it's so obvious that I wonder if the person knew it was a joke and decided to troll anyways. Other times I have to remember that it does take experience to recognize it, and some people have additional limitations like not speaking the language
Like if I never played a video game, I might not recognize the very obvious wall with a different texture that I'm meant to bash through
Also koalas: !koalawallawoods@lemmy.world
That is one of the drawbacks of not having to carry a dictionary around ... ever again!
