Yeah, this can be a generational cultural difference.

I mourned the death of my grandfather three separate times when my mother texted me “please call”. Each time when I called back I learned something different:

1. We had to change our lunch plans.
2. There was an alarming local news article about driving conditions.
3. My grandfather had died.

This is something that idk if I’ll ever get used to about lemmy

It’s a meme. It’s a joke. It’s deliberately blown out of proportion.

Y’all need to calm tf down.
