No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I've read it like five times and I still don't understand the first one. What are they saying/asking
You see someone post a drawing, and it's really not good.
"That's certainly one of the drawings of all time"
The expectation for the phrase would be "that's one of the best drawings of all time" or "one of the worse drawings of all time" but removing the adjective to break the sentence creates this ironic feeling of stating something is underwhelming without directly saying so.
I've read a lot of comments in my life and this is one of them.
That they like semi broken sentences. Ones that make sense, or are super vague, but are incorrectly structured.
This is one of the comments of all time
They have replacement words in there.
I.e. "That's certainly a car" or "That's certainly a shirt"
I.e. "That's so squared" or "That's so rounded" (I'm not certain of this one"
I.e. "He's one of the best doggos"
That's my best guess but not sure
Unless they literally meant "that is so shaped", I could also imagine replacing the "so", like, " is friend shaped"
Though thinking about it, I haven't seen anything other than "friend shaped" so that's probably not it.
