Well, actually the joke is making fun of the way certain people explain things to people they think are dumber than them. But don’t you worry your pretty little noggin. We’ll make sure you understand this joke.
Hate when I catch myself "Well, actually"ing. I’ll either try to reword it to not sound so dickish or I’ll discard it if I think it’s not actually helpful or interesting.
I think I’ve eliminated the “[well, ]actually” from my speech patterns (unless using it sparingly for comedic effect) due to the memes as well. Turns out the dumb internet image macros can have a positive impact after all.
Just omit either “well” or “actually”. Maybe swap both for “surprisingly” or “unfortunately” depending on the context of the correction. I understand the struggle :(
Maybe I’m being dense, but I’m gonna need a mansplanation for this one.

Struggling over whether to upvote, downvote, both, or neither 🤔
This is why you should have three lemmy accounts: One to upvote, one to downvote, and one to do neither.
I feel like some effort could be saved on that third one by not actually making the account until the “neither” button is added ;P
Upvote, downvote, leftvote, rightvote?
Upvote, upvote, downvote, downvote, leftvote, rightvote, leftvote, rightvote, bvote, avote, startvote!
Interestingly, both, and neither do the same thing here.
I think it’s a play on “well, actually blah blah blah fact maybe” rebuttals.
