Would you consider “touch grass” an instant lose condition in a debate/argument?

[Random Internet Person]

I just hear it more often than not, especially when things get heated.

If you feel the need to ask this question, then you need to touch grass.

It has to be one of the most retarded memes I've ever heard, because if a person has to use canned sayings in their arguments they probably do not actually go outside or appreciate nature very often.

Besides, forests often don't explicitly contain grass and they're pretty great. You can find mushrooms and weird shit like that.

 

[Character from a movie]

Every time someone tells you to go outside and touch grass, tell them you can't do that because you're confined in one of those cushioned rooms that they have in the mental asylums. With the straightjacket and all. You won't win the argument but people will think "This one is nuts" and leave you alone.

Hi @Random Internet Person don't worry. That's just random internet comeback.

Depends on the context. What constitutes a debate or argument will vary from person to person or culture to culture as will appropriate argumentation.

Generally you're just going to get retards screeching at each other so all's fair I say

"touch grass, touch grass" bitch how, i live in a fucking desert

It depends on the context. Some people think that the biggest problem in their life is that JK Rowling posted something "anti-trans" on Twitter and now their life is in jeopardy. To that I would probably say, touch grass.

It's the r*ddit version of "cope" or "seethe" and is only used by people who are the least likely to have been outside in the past week themselves and i automatically think less of a person if they use the phrase, much like i see anyone activly posting on r*ddit as a lesser person.

I once had a sped-up Thanos talking meme .gif, captioned "Curious how you're telling me to touch grass, yet you're on the keyboard same as me".

Perfectly encapsulates my feelings towards "touch grass".

The people telling me to "touch grass" make 100 tweets a day

If you see any of these catchphrases:
- don't care
- cry about it
- stay mad
- L
- ratio
- touch grass
Ignore it. Stop reading.

 

[Retink]

Just respond with something equally retarded like "cringe" or "sus" and they'll shut up eventually.

Just tell them it's current year and that we have phones and laptops usable while outdoors on your fine suburban lawn.
