I wanna upvote it because it's funny but I don't wanna upvote it because OP didn't get the obvious joke

In OP's defense, it's kinda hard to tell nowadays if someone's joking or not. Satire is dead and buried.

Edit to add: there absolutely is a non zero chance that the guy in the pic literally and purposefully peed his pants, thought that was a flex and subsequently bragged about it on the primary social network for professionals.

Another problem with satire is that conservatives literally cannot grasp the concept of it, so they also take satirical works, making fun of conservatives, literally.
There are people that watched The Boys and come away from it thinking Homelander is a swell guy. Like, how??

Satire has been exhumed, cremated, and had the ashes stolen and sold in an auction on accident.
