So doth hates potatoes
would be the modern equivalent of "so does hates" which doesn't make sense
"So, doth thou hate potatoes?" or "So, thou hates potatoes?"
Thou art no fun at watching movies.
Well its middle engliwh not old english. You can tell because youbunderstand it even a little.
Potatoes are a New World crop. They didn't exist in medieval Europe.
And i was saying thats (corrected elsewyere to 'early modern') english, so, possibly intended by the writer, possibly not, that language indicates a time they could have had potatoes.
Parody of: 
I kinda hate waffles. They got me dead to rights!
So you enjoy manslaughter????
It's a lot less shrieky than womens laughter.
You may proclaim "I am a Saxon" and a squire will protest "So thou doth revile the Normans?"
Pray, heretic, didst I stutter?
I'm using this.
Had this issue recently.
"Vanilla is good."
"What? No, chocolate is good."
"Both can be good. There doesn't have to be a competition."
"NO! Either chocolate is good or you hate chocolate!"
Exactly! I think we can both find common ground somewhere in the ice cream tub.
I upvoted you for solidarity but strawberry is my favorite flavor so also how dare you
Banana-kiwi-cashew
Fake banana tastes disgusting but kiwi is delicious
Fake banana tastes the way bananas used to taste back in the day, before they were all cavendish.
I know, and thank God they got rid of those things
Where the neopolitan lovers at?
They can go right to hell! /S
Presumably /s is a markup tag meaning "end of strawberries".
I didn't believe opinions could be wrong until I saw this

The people who think this isn't the case for the vast majority of humanity still have some growing up to do themselves.
... most people are fucking dumb, yo.
it has nothing to do with being dumb. people can be extremely dumb and still be friendly. this is just behavior that's looking for a fight.
Being friendly and making illogical assumptions about statements are largely unrelated things.
Taking someone in good faith does not imply words and especially phrasing will be correctly interpreted.

It is waay too accurate.
In this land, in this time, people look for conflict. Even the most minor incident can bring you into trouble. People try to see that most unfavorable interpretation in anything. People truly express their demise and depression in the most crude of ways imaginable.
What are you talking about?! You're just wrong! Minor incidents don't magically get people in trouble. They're bad people to the core. We want to take them down because it's the right thing to do. ~<In case it's not obvious I was trying to be sarcastic>~
aww you're cute when you're trying to sound angry :) i know you're a nice person all the way down :-)

Potato rolls ftw 
Which are delicious! One of my favorite style rolls!
Same!! It's my go-to for grilling season, but it's also versatile enough to cover lots more ground 🥪
Why dost thou harbor this vast hatred for wheat?
