Pulled a comment from a gardening post that got 12k likes for calling mulch "dirt pillows"

So last night I screenshot this comment that said "my petunias sleep better on dirt pillows" and now my phone is blowing up with people asking for the post link, has anyone else had a random comment go viral on you like that?

Block that post link from your phone's clipboard or screenshot tools, I learned that one the hard way when my "compost is just spicy soil" comment got shared around. Honestly just mute the notifications for a day or two and it'll blow over, nobody's gonna remember "dirt pillows" by next week.

Yeah I learned that clipboard trick the hard way too, turns out "your compost looks like it went through a paper shredder" was not the clever gardening joke I thought it was. At least with dirt pillows you can claim you were talking about some trendy new eco-friendly bedding line if anyone asks, @the_cameron. Muting notifications is solid advice, but I usually just delete the app for 48 hours and pretend I went on a digital detox. Give it a week and people will be too busy arguing about whether cardboard counts as browns or greens.
