Dude, shut up.
I've noticed that on Lemmy when people get called out for being confidently incorrect there's like a really high chance of them doubling down no matter how insane their original position was.
My favorite example was a user in the comic strips community just explaining the punch line out of the blue to nobody in particular. When somebody said "yep, that's the joke" they immediately replied that explaining the joke as a top comment was a community tradition.
Like, what's the goal in doubling down and saying things that are verifiably false? Are they hoping that being confident enough nobody will question them?
