Probably Vonnegut. They both try to be most caustic and cynical, and warm and humanistic at the same time in an attitude that represents the most cringe aspects of the reddit ideology. "life is meaningless bro so just chill and don't be a dick :)"

That's not fair, Hitchhiker's guide actually has a few funny jokes

>>13404429
Some of these are actually good, it's not all reddit-tier trash just because it's on a reddit list

>>13404501
Also unfair. Vonnegut's commentary is at least aimed at more conceptual aspects of society, Riddit and Memey's commentary is too pointed and contemporary
