Honestly, I can’t blame them in either case. I suppose the joke is not funny if you don’t know the original and the EA community is open enough to new, unusual ideas that it might attract the sort of crazy people who actually think removing the bladder is a good idea. Also, I told everybody who prove-read the post that it was intended as a parody. Maybe otherwise that is entirely non-obvious. And obviously compared to the normal content on the forum it might be seen as a waste of time to read this.

Pretty sure people get the reference but just think that you’re mocking longevity research without making a good point. A disclaimer would’ve helped.
