Why are they calling it Aafrica? Or is that just part of the other typos / spelling errors?

They did it twice so it seems intentional. Beats me though.

I didn’t even see the second one fully, as it was behind an icon. Thanks for spotting that one for me

Why would a bot get that wrong? Everyone blames everything slightly odd on bits nowadays…

This is likely because in the song from which this meme is riffing of of, Africa is sung with an elongated “a” like “aaaafrica”

Edit: Africa by Toto, 1:20 seconds in

It’s a reference to Toto’s song “Africa”, and in the line “I bless the rains down in Africa” the “A” gets extended a lot.

Anyone else read that as Jackie Daytona?

I assumed because Africa doesn’t exist on Toril.

You arrive in a new town where everyone thinks they’re in charge, and they each use a funny accent to assert themselves. The sign at the front gate reads “Welcome to Bosston”

…and from a single meme we see the great divide between Gen X/Millenials and Gen Z. Poor Toto!

Millenial here. I genuinely like the Weezer version better. I like the heavier guitar and I’m not a huge fan of the way the synth was implemented in the original.

Saying Aafrica twice messes with the pacing/delivery to me. Maybe it should just say “I blessed the rains.”

I know the song thanks.

The point is everyone knows it, that’s why the joke lands. So saying “I blessed the rains” is enough that they’ll piece it together. Trust the audience a bit > saying Aafrica twice

i get what you mean.

“Have you forgotten what happened down in Aafrika?”

“I blessed the rain”

would have been a better punchline, but it’s still really good
