I thought it was clear that this is not a real Dril post and just an example of people Kayfabing the credulous replier, but some of the quotes and replies on this seem to be taking it seriously, so, I’m sorry but

Tbh none of that seems at all clear

You have to be OT Level 8-tier online for that to be clear in advance

“I thought it was clear that that salute was ironic, but go off internet 🙄”

Begging for people to stop creating and reposting fake dril tweets

I want to shake the internet and shout this in its face like what's the point of this

Engagement

ClicksForCash/ PropagandaForProfit is THEE career *choice* for a fair number of otherwise UNemployables. The existence of truth is irrelevant to this generation of wannabe *influencers*.

no

I don’t see this dril tweet so i suspect it’s fake just fyi

I thought the account and the 2 days off part were a clear tell and people were just making fun of the replier who took it seriously

Maybe! But I suspect this one's going to go viral with a lot of people taking it seriously.

:/

oops I just fell for it, before I read this. I mean, stranger things have happened, it could have been true and that’s what’s important, etc etc

Weird things happen. In 2019 Tyler Scaggs starting pitcher for the Angels died on the road. Their first home game back they pitched a combined no-hitter the day before his birthday. The last combined no-no to occur in California (there are 5 MLB teams in CA) had been in 1991 on the day he was born.

Pitching a combined no hitter the day before his birthday is meaningless

Why would that be a clear tell?

Because that account tweets out fake dril tweets from time to time and it’s happened enough where I thought people would have caught on by now, what do you want from me

Ok I just had no context for any of it, it doesn’t seem like obviously a satire account, and weird coincidences happen all the time.

lol did he tweet from a blackberry in the year of our lord 2014?

This is how I'm learning the super size me guy died lol (he did die, right?)

That part is true

Dril is proof that time travel exists

but the release date wasn't the month he actually ate Micky D's for a month. We need a semester long graduate seminar to parse this gem

Lol

Oh no

Not on point but the phrase "passed peacefully from cancer" is Wint's cruellest joke.

I thought I was smart and media savvy…but alas I am but credulous (I did try to Google the dril post to check it, but not until after I had shared to my group chat)

the corn cob prophet

So is @dril a modern oracle, then? I mean, it would certainly make some sense.

You know, if he died of intestinal cancer it probably was the McDonald’s that killed him. Or at least took 20 years off his life.

Or the alcoholism.

I have money on the alcoholism

Be interesting to investigate the veganism as well

You go spend your time on that and tell us how it turns out

The perfect oracle for this period in time.

so like, what part of this is fake? I know dril is the funny meme guy but it’s not like I have his @ memorized!

It’s a fake tweet made up by that @drilhistorian account, which has done this repeatedly before (eg a similar fake tweet that “foretold” Shinzo Abe getting doohickeyed). This is an actual tweet from dril today

This is how I found out Morgan Spurlock died. Go figure.

"Murder She Wrote" vibes. Maybe he did it.

2004 *feels* like 10 years ago

Take care of yourselves, kids.

Aw man, "McDonald," he even spells the name right I mean, right for dril
