    Fake: If you were texting while driving in 2004, you were likely using the 10 digit keypad on a flip phone.

    Gay: gay marriage wasn’t legal in 2004

      Mate anyone worth their salt could speed text on a t9 blindfolder under their desk and the teacher or police would never notice!

      Physical buttons are the only way to type blind though, I still know the numpad layout by heart.

      Youre either pretty young and never used numpad texting, or kinda old and never got used to it.

        and i don’t get why it has to be gay marriage anyway? the post indicates nothing about the gender of either person.

          The joke is that 4chan anon posts are “fake and gay.” Which comes from how 4chan users themselves respond to eachother on their own board. So one response to these as a joke is to point out why they are fake and why they are gay. Since it’s a dumb joke, if you start applying logic to the explanation of course it breaks down.
