I do know the meme, but your use of it and your earlier statement of “I get the feeling you haven’t solved many”; does not really convey irony, but rather, an elitist attitude that doesn’t leave an openness for discussion. Without openness for discussion on a forum, there is little opportunity for an openness to learn.
So discussion may have occurred on the topic, by way of someone proving you wrong; but that leaves you as the only one learning, without offering the same opportunities to casual commentors.
The “irony” is that a cheeky comment went over your head, you began a closed-format lecture, and then you later tried to use irony yourself in another response (expecting to receive the same understanding that you yourself missed earlier).
So now maybe, we both have learned something. But it was through “ackchyually’s” and “one-upping”, rather than through openness. Be kind, be patient, be understanding, be welcoming… that helps nurture honest discourse
What did I do wrong here?
Demeaning without educating. Lacks opportunity for discussion and learning.
There was self-parodying irony here you might have missed. KnowYourMeme
I feel like discussion opportunities were present. In fact, a discussion about hyperreals did start, and I learned something in the process.
