then you should have chosen a different sentence. "that's fuckin nice but the chicken is already in the nuggets" or "(vegan) i hope your power goes out" Both choices better fit a BNS post construction and dont put the punch line in the title.

to be clear BNS /=/ Punchline. all bns posts dont have the punchline in the title. The comedy from a BNS post is derived from the BNS being the setup and the humor being the explanation or reason for the BNS to be uttered in the first place. Setting aside the issue of using a sentence that starts with "I love this post because..." just adds a whole 'nother meta layer of confusion.

but thats just like, my opinion. man.

I disagree.
