Learn something new every day - Lemmy.World

Can someone explain the joke? I don’t get it
Back in the day there was this thing called the game. Everyone is playing regardless of if they want to or not. The point of the game is to not think about the game. If you’re not thinking about the game, you’re winning. The second you think about the game, you’ve lost the game. Once that happens you are required to announce to everyone around you that you lost the game, making them also lose the game.
I get it now thanks to you but I still think it’s stupid.
That’s kind of the point though
It’s pretty fun though. My friends and I still play and when we’re in a group it makes an uproar. There’s always someone who said, “WTF I had like a several year streak you dick!”
