Four humors? Like four types of jokes?
Yea I don’t get it at all. I don’t understand the tweet or the screenshot.
Look up the Four Humors, it predated germ theory.
I find it crazy how much niche information that some people on the internet seem to know.
Xkcd I'm one of the 10000...

It's also crazy to realize something you think to be common knowledge turns out to not be common knowledge. We learned about the four humours in high school English because it's relevant to analyzing older texts. I don't think I know anyone IRL who don't know what they are.
Well, lots of folks here, who speak English as a second language. I had my analyzing-older-texts classes in German, where these humours were not relevant to the best of my knowledge. I once heard about them in psychology class, but that's about it.
English is also my second language, but I still remember learning at least a little bit about it. Maybe it was in history class, or maybe it was as part of the introduction to germ theory in natural sciences class

Don't, they need to learn how to use the internet and not just use "their shortcuts" like an old person.
you need to learn how to communicate with people and help them instead of expecting everyone stay completely isolated and do everything by themselves.
