Obligatory Digestive

When you lowkey want to show your friends that you're doing something cool.

Ivar wanted to let his friends know that he was drinking and beeing all cool, but lowkey. So he uploaded a picture of a vodka bottle and a package of digestive cookies, and said that the digestive cookies were obligatory, therefore Obligatory Digestive.

obligatory downvote

No matter how funny, good, intelligent or rare a video/picture/post is, there will always be someone disliking it, and if it's only for the sake of preventing a 'perfect' voting. Also, downvotes arise from jealousy, hate or any other form of secret respect.

person 1: dude check out this video, its a child doing a backflip while making pancakes on the back of an elephant.

person 2: wow thats incredible. *obligatory downvote*

person 1: i cant believe there is actually nobody that dislikes this newsfeed. well, its about a migrated disabled kid that survived cancer and the war.
