explanations? Why do you want to know that? haha, cheers

You already know the scene: a journalist asks Juan Carlos I if he wants to see his son, Felipe VI.

"Man, a lot."

She then asks if she is going to give explanations and the king emeritus replies: "Explanations, of what?"

To which a laugh follows.

To many tweeters, the answer has reminded them of an old meme from 2016: the one of

know that haha ​​greetings”, and you will forgive me for respecting the original spelling.

It all started in the defunct Yahoo!

Answers, a website where users left their questions in the hope that someone would answer something more or less coherent or, in many cases, that some kind soul would solve a class assignment for them at the last minute, usually without any problem. luck.

Like the one who asked for a summary of World War II and managed to get someone else to respond with a “tatatatatatatata bom bom”, closing the story with a “they gave me, damn Nazis”.

Sorry, I got sidetracked.

Going back to the meme, it all came from a user who wanted to better understand Nietzsche and nihilism (that's literally nothing).

And the best thing that occurred to him was to ask for advice on this website: “I already downloaded all of his works, but which one would help me the most to understand it?”

The answer he received was the one we mentioned above, why do you want to know that, which became a meme that was used as a comic answer to more or less uncomfortable questions.

The response of the king emeritus —”explanations, of what?

Hahaha”—not only could it replace this meme, but it seems designed to provoke Republican tweeters.

Juan Carlos I only needed to dry his tear and slap his thigh.

It should be noted that, since the visit of the previous head of state to Sanxenxo was announced, messages critical of his figure and, by the way, of the entire Monarchy have predominated on Twitter.

That is why there was also some surprise and a lot of indignation when the videos of the monarchists and Juancarlistas who came to greet Sanxenxo, flag in hand and many cheers in their throats, were shared.

These videos were a clear reminder that social networks are part of the real world, but they are not always a true sample of what happens when we keep our mobile in our pocket.

If it were for Twitter, Spain would have been a republic for a long time or it would have become one these days with the hit of retweets.

But the truth is that there are people who are delighted that Juan Carlos I is going to see the regattas.

And what about the commissions and the problems with the Treasury?

Well, they don't think they're that bad.

Article 56.3 of the Constitution establishes that “the person of the King is inviolable and is not subject to responsibility”.

Luckily for Juan Carlos I, on Twitter these days not only the Spanish kings were talked about.

The

recovered a classic anecdote from the British Royal House: garlic does not enter Buckingham Palace.

The reason is that Queen Elizabeth II wants to prevent the family from releasing garlic breath in official acts.

But some Twitter users pointed to another theory that, without a doubt, fits much better with what we know about long-lived aristocrats who reside in castles: namely, that the queen is a vampire.

In fact, according to Prince Charles, the family is a distant descendant of Vlad the Impaler, the Wallachian prince who inspired

Bram Stoker's

And so we are, at a time when the best thing that can happen to a monarch is to be reminded of an ancestor that caused nightmares.

At least in these cases it can be said that “they are things of the past”.

Wait.

Y-you're saying we live in a country ruled by an unnaturally long-lived aristocrat who lives in a castle and fears garlic???
