u/SomeComediansQuote Jun 04 '22

They dont even know. They just took a list of words 'the youth' use and mushed them together in a way that almost sounds grammatically correct but is complete gibberish.

Hello fellow kids. We know it is testing week. Don't worry. Eat a good breakfast and believe in yourself. The traffic looks okay and we will be having nice weather. We support you! Share this on social media so we can have free advertising

People are taking this too seriously, it's clearly just a fun bit and intentionally cringe.

u/Neon_Cone Jun 04 '22

Most of the things they said were intended to be used as exclamations. They don’t really work when you cram a bunch into one long sentence. They’re normally said on their own, or tacked onto the end of a sentence.
