I don't anal but this is indeed a common practice.

  It's old timey internet slang from the 1990s for "I Am Not A Lawyer" And for everyone else, don't give me push back for "old timey" - there's people out of college now that were born after 2000. Plenty of people weren't there. The adage of interaction on the internet: others are younger and less sober than you assume

    That whistling sound? It’s the joke flying over your head.

      It was pretty funny in 1994 when I and everyone else thought of it and saw it the first 50 times. I don't think someone is that daft. Far more likely they're young and have never seen it. It's a 17 day old account. Why would someone seriously say that? I dunno, genZ is weirdly open about stuff and I really don't understand them. Best to not assume
