People in real life are a phenomena experienced once you get off of your computer and/or phone and speak to the physical people around you. While many assume that people in real life are relatively ordinary, they're actually fucking insane.
Comparison to people online
Many consider people in real life to be relatively normal compared to people online, which is not the case. While the internet entertains multiple discourses regarding topics such as ethics, physical appearance, whether identity theft is okay, whether or not Goofy is a dog, and the ergonomics of web pages, having conversations with people in real life can result in topics of conversation that can drive even the most veteran discourser to madness. Furthermore, much discussion with people in real life can be repetitive, leading to a state of existential madness where one must reconsider their personhood.
