Why do people keep adding this to their comments? Are they checking notes? Why do they feel the need to point it out if they are? Why are they saying they are if they aren’t? It’s like me adding “scratching head” to my comment, which I just did, but I have no idea why that adds anything to the conversation.

checks notes
It’s 80+ pages that only say “fuck”
It’s a joke. They are pretending they can’t remember the very obvious/absurd/silly/etc thing, so they have to check their notes before finishing the thought.
I think it might have its origin in courtroom dramas having prosecutors being catty with the defense but that’s just a barely informed guess tbh
It’s just a fad. Speech mannerisms also come and go with the times. Right now it’s popular to use it, and people use it.

It do be like that. Many of them get repeated till they reach a critical point and everyone is sick of them. Some of them are harder to tolerate than others though. I can deal with people ‘checking notes’ here and there but those who use “literally” as every second word in their sentences awaken a primal rage inside of me that is yearning for rock to split skull. Luckily that trend isn’t as prevalent as it used to be back in the day.
Checks notes it’s for dramatization, joke, etc.
Its similar to a dramtic… . . . . . . . .

checks notes
Not sure I didn’t write anything down I was just doodling
For dramatization, when some event is so stupidly, unexpectedly bizarre that you have to check your figurative notes to make sure you’re not just remembering a fever dream. Example:
America is rolling back renewable energy development to promote the use of beautiful, clean… (checks notes…) coal, of all fucking things.
