"How the flying fuck": Starts off as an intensifier, but it's a mangled idiom mashup. "What the flying fuck" expresses shock; "How the fuck" asks for method. This? It's neither fish nor fowl—grammatically awkward, like asking for the mechanics of outrage. Funny? It's like swearing at a GPS for bad directions.
"do you think": Solid. No issues here. It's the straight man in this comedy of errors.
"this shits funny": The punchline. Should be "this shit's funny" (contraction for "this shit is funny," slang for "this is amusing"). Instead, it's parsed as "this" (subject) + "shits" (third-person verb for defecates) + "funny" (adjective/adverb?). Reads like "this thing poops in a hilarious way." Hilarious malapropism—turns vulgar disbelief into accidental scatological humor. Confidence: 95%. No lookup needed; it's basic English gone rogue.
That's how.
If those kids could read, they'd find this hilarious.
