It’s in the text of the meme you posted. How embarrassing for you

"Testing the first bulletproof vests" =/= "First tests of the bulletproof vests"

These aren't literally the first bulletproof vests, but nowhere in the text of the meme is it asserted that these are the first tests of the bulletproof vests.

Perhaps you could learn how to parse basic English before trying to act smug?

Sorry if I actually hurt your feelings. I might have joked too hard in the meme post.

I don't think your post was really accurate, since the first bullet proof vest was attempted in 1538 according to Wikipedia so it's not really the first, or a test.

But I didn't actually want to make you feel bad, so I'm sorry for that. I hope you have a good day despite me.
