If finding parallels is the game, then this Twitter account is the winner.
It's called "True, I Guess..." and it shares — you guessed it — pictures of things that are technically true. It sounds simple, but believe me, just a couple of its tweets can make you question both your existence and the world around you.
Are nightmares dreams? Or free horror movies that you produce, direct, and star in? Do you have a skeleton inside you? Or are you (the brain) inside of a skeleton?
Continue scrolling and you tell me!

A few months ago, my colleague Jonas wrote a piece on a subreddit with the same kind of energy as this Twitter account. Check it out if you haven't already!
Back then, Jonas compared these "obvious" remarks to dad jokes and I gotta say, I probably agree. Dad jokes are simultaneously beloved and maligned, deeply ingrained in the intimacies of family life, and yet universal and public enough to have a cult following.

By hitting a window with your bare fist in the regular manly fashion of course
If there's one thing that describes dad jokes, it's wordplay. You know it goes, "Hey, do you know what time my dentist appointment is? Tooth-hurty." "Why do they always build fences around cemeteries? Because people are dying to get in."
Stanley Dubinsky, an English professor at the University of South Carolina and the father of two young-adult sons, is a real enthusiast of dad jokes, mostly of the non-pun variety; he likes to deliberately mispronounce words sometimes, just to hear his kids groan and scoff exasperatedly.
"I take a little bit of perverse pleasure in causing them some embarrassment when I speak," Dubinsky said. "Your kids are embarrassed by you anyway, so the next best thing [to them laughing in earnest at your jokes] is to level with that."

But Dubinsky is also a linguist and the co-author of the book Understanding Language Through Humor, and as he explains it, there's a particular type of wordplay that gives a joke the dubious distinction of being a dad joke.
"Most jokes rely on some semantic ambiguity or grammatical ambiguity. The things people call dad jokes are the ones where the ambiguity is crushingly obvious," he explained.
Which is also the case here!

They can be picky eaters, like what if they only keep on eating bacon forever. I bet 600 pounds is a small number.

Well this statement is false. My son is autistic and a very picky eater. But what he does like to eat are things that aren't healthy and what he doesn't like are a lot of the healthier foods. You can be a picky eater and still be overweight.

He never sugar coated or coddled anyone. He was very upfront with them and called out family and friends who enabled the bad eating habits. No nonsense doctor for sure.

Dr. Now can be brutally honest. "I've been meticulously following the diet." "No, you haven't because you're 3 pounds heavier than 2 weeks ago."

I am a very picky eater and I am very overweight so this doctor is wrong.

Dr. Now is savage. He doesn't hold back. The people on that show are completely delusional and don't need anything sugar coated.

I understand people who disagree with this, but I think what picky might mean for him is that you only want what's best/highest quality all the time.

Well he's not making fun of her, he's putting the finger where it hurts. Ppl tend to lie to themselves when it comes to their eating habits. It's important to speak out the truth to change things

smh why are ppl still soo fatphobic its gross. ppl gain weight for a ton of reasons, none of which are ur business :)

No fat shaming here. There is no malicious intent. He is literally telling them what they are already doing. If he were calling them fat pigs or saying mean things. Then yes, I'd agree with you. But a lot of people obviously cannot differentiate between fat shaming and a person telling you what is healthy and not healthy. There is a difference. Plus this is their doctor he has every right and all the business to be telling them exactly what they're doing. People have got to stop acting like those that are trying to help or somehow the bad guy.

I just want to say that my friends and I are obsessed with My 600 Pound Life!!💟💟 I know that's crazy, right? A dear friend of mine who is a Nationally Syndicated Radio Host even has this great, super talented Comedian by the name of Benji Brown and he does the Character of "The Van" that picks Dr. Nowzardian's (👏👏💚🤍❤) New Patients...whoooo It will have you on the floor laughing 🤣 😃 😀. I personally think Agha Dr. Nowzardian can be a Savage sometimes with his remarks but hey we've all needed that someone to 'gather us up' from time to time. 🥰🥰 Bon Appétit, ya'll.

Its not fat shaming or cruel. These ppl need a wake up call otherwise they could/will die from all the health issues.
