    Baby basket may sound like a weird one without context if you’re not already familiar with them, but I assume he’s talking about a maternity package, or “baby box” which is a wildly successful program in Finland and other parts of Europe. It’s a cardboard box filled with baby supplies, and the box itself doubles as their first crib. It’s not legal in the US ostensibly because of the cardboard, but functionally cuz we like to punish women every chance we get. Anyway, being cardboard causes literally zero problems, they help to prevent SIDS, and they’re cheap.

    We should have been doing this for ages.

          I asked who’s Sid, not who’s not. Your not funny reply didn’t help.
          Turns out it’s a syndrome.

            Ok I’m sure bud. It was clearly not a name as it was used in the sentence. It was capitalized as SIDS. When you see a word in all caps like that, it’s commonly understood to be an acronym. The context clues alone really leave no room for misunderstanding to any person with reading comprehension skills that it was not a name of a person.

            You made a low effort joke about something you likely knew was a sensitive subject. It was inconsiderate at best.

            Double cringe that you can’t just own up to being inconsiderate and unfunny.

            Edit: Seems like 0x0 isn’t a troll, just really bad at reading.

            I kind of assumed you were making a joke, not asking the question in good faith. Perhaps others made the same assumption.
