How are those things related
The joke is people will mention the latter at any chance they get even if it doesn't fit.
So the format is:
[Important discussion]
[Unexpectedly simple response]
[Some guy interjects with thing he always talks about]
But the most important detail is I personally have a fast metabolism, I can eat as much as I want and not gain weight for whatever reason lol.
Is this the new "I use arch btw" which was the new "I'm vegan"?
Which is like crossfitters
Oh that's not what i got from that at all. I thought there was an implied fourth sentence where society beats the shit out of metabolism guy in jealousy, but they left tran people alone because that's not actually a big deal.
--the joke->
You
What a helpful response!
Gee, I'm sure glad I came to the comments to quell my confusion.
Have you never met somebody with a fast metabolism?
Do people really talk about their metabolism that much? Or are some people just so self-conscious about their weight and eating habits that they place particular weight on those comments such that they appear to be more frequent than they actually are?
I got a lot of comments about my weight and eating habits when I was young, so 'fast metabolism' was an easy way out of the conversation even if it wasn't true.
Or did some people's parents unconsciously internalize it in them as a child? Or am I projecting?
I feel like that's a loaded term but I do know people who are going to have a rough awakening when they get older. (i.e. they won't be able to eat like they used to without feeling/seeing it).
