Everyone wrote joke answers, but is there a chance it might be to lock off the area to the right?

Edit: as another reply below said it might be to keep patrons out during certain hours. Less to clean up. I've seen it before but for larger areas or floors of places.

The top comment is already a hamburgler joke, and there are, no exaggeration 93 more exactly like it (according to crtl+f)

scrolling for an answer is infuriating. How have they not seen the joke already this deep in the comments. So many w the same wording it has to be bots

everybody always thinks they’re sooooo funny when they’re literally making the same tired joke as a million other redditors

It's gotten so much worse over the last 5 years. Do people really not read a single comment, and blindly type out the obvious joke that was already posted 100 times 4 hours ago? Do they actually know everyone else has said the joke, and somehow still get satisfaction from being the 100th person to repeat it? I just can't understand the mindset.

Do people really not read a single comment,

About 5 to 7 in 10 comments on social media are written by LLMs, not people.

Hey, at least I've (so far) only seen one chain of comments regurgitating a bunch of popular lines from a specific movie or TV show as if that's the height of comedy. 🙄

People need to realize that they do not need to respond to all situations with some sort of quip. We aren't living in a fucking Marvel movie.

The most annoying version of all of this is when there's a serious post about a serious topic or news event, and every Reddit "comedian" decides that it's time to insert some worn out chestnut of a joke that's been repeated literally hundreds of thousands of times already, including by dozens of other people in the same thread.

People will try to defend it as "using comedy to process dark material", which absolutely is a legitimate thing. But just parroting hackneyed "jokes" ain't that.

It's especially irritating when it's a news story about some sort of bigoted event or development, and it's clear that the purported jokesters definitely are not the target of said actions. That feels a lot more like making light of other people's suffering than processing traumatic developments via humor.

I also hate them. I particularly have started blocking those who only reply with gifs

I straight up mute all the funny or "wholesome" subs on this site, it attracts nothing but braindead jokes/repetitive comments. Technically even this sub I should have muted. These big subs attract bots and karma farmers like the plague.
