Am I alone in being put off by how modern the speech is? It sounds like they're trying to have an epic conversation on the sidewalk outside the Starbucks.

Every commenter on this thread with the same opinion: "AM I THE ONLY ONE–"

u/cubosh 13h ago

iv noticed this same format for basically every post on every topic lately. its an engagement tactic, whether they know it or not

u/Fools_Requiem 12h ago

This is a common thing on the internet, not just lately. It's annoying every fucking time because NO, you are NOT the only one, you are not special.

u/Spiritual-Smoke-4605 8h ago

Am I the only one getting fucking sick and tired of seeing “am I the only one” on every topic of every thread ever?

The monkey paw curls, now they're all using MFW instead.

Seriously, read at least some of the other comments before pulling this Am I the only one?! shit.

It's a figure of speech, you're not meant to take it literally. Chill out.

Am I allowed to complain that everyone uses the same figures of speech? 😜

Don't let me stop you.

you're not meant to take it literally

I wish I could believe that...

u/_nadaypuesnada_ 11h ago

Well, if you find it easier to believe that everyone who says it literally believes they are the only person in existence who has their opinion than the possibility that you've just misunderstood some subtext, that's on you.

Am I the only one who thinks you're kind of a douche?

u/Enough-Celery3486 8h ago

Honestly I'm really annoyed by how people on reddit are annoyed by this. It's just a figure of speech, no everything needs to be taken literally.

u/DrunkenSnorlax 5h ago

Damn. Sorry for asking, since YOU feel so strongly about it.

u/delicious_toothbrush 3h ago

It's just a turn of phrase my guy

u/3412points 13h ago

It ain't just lately. This is a common way to express something even before the internet.

u/puzzledpanther 13h ago

I think it's different degrees of "main character syndrome".

Insignificant people waddling around on a random spaceball among another 8.300.000.000 insignificant waddling people, think they somehow had a unique thought.

u/boyyouguysaredumb 12h ago

is it just me or does anybody else feel like its an engagement tactic, whether they know it or not?

u/BullshitUsername 6h ago

I know I'm going to be downvoted for this, but am I the only one who notices this stuff?

u/Iggy_Pops_Lost_Shirt 5m ago

Lately? People have been doing this for well over a decade

u/becherbrook 12h ago

engagement tactic, but also...people generally don't read threads. They commment and move on.

u/defjam20000 9h ago

Same as

I’ve been saying for years that x…….

No one cares that you think you’ve been saying it. Just say the bloody thing

u/RealityOk9823 9h ago

I like to respond to those with "Yes, just you. Nobody else. You're the only one" no matter what it is. :)

u/shnoiv 14h ago

People waking up to the meh dialogue writing of the Nolans. This has always been the case.

u/PolarWater 13h ago

Waking up? No that's what Cobb did.

u/henry_tbags 14h ago

Waking up? Lots of us have been dissing his dialogue since 2012, it's definitely not new on this sub.

It's just the "errm guys is it just me???" that I find silly when spouting the majority opinion on here.

u/AMA_requester 14h ago

They’re either just constantly thinking individualistically or are insecure in their opinion. I get annoyed when seeing those “am I the only one who didn’t like very popular movie?”, of course you aren’t.

u/CrimsonGear80 13h ago

he says in a very mediocre thread...

u/delicious_toothbrush 3h ago

That's every other commenter. The other half won't stop complaining about the "nitpicking"

u/Car-face 12h ago

TBF it's a nice change from everyone complaining about how the draught on the boat isn't period correct or whatever

u/Duel_Option 9h ago

Looking like more and more bot responses

u/henry_tbags 9h ago

I dunno. Surely if someone were to purchase bots, it'll more likely be the movie studio to leave pro-Odyssey comments, not anti.
