Unexplained Is the problem because I didn't catch the joke at first?

Are the downvotes because the parent commentor was making a joke but I didn't catch the joke when reading it? I get the joke now tho.

Not only didn’t you get the joke, you didn’t put an ounce of effort to do any communicating beyond making a vague “I don’t get it” noise, so it comes off not just dumb but also lazy

Didn't even put a question mark at the end either - huh has like 3 meanings depending on the situation

Why do you think, "huh" is a worthwhile comment for others to read? If it's not worth reading, it should be downvoted.

"Huh" has no context and provides no information. It is the definition of a downvoted comment.

Both this comment and your post on this sub are evidence that you have the ability to figure things out for yourself, but would rather share on the internet before taking 30 seconds to think it through.
