I'm sorry, is there actually anyone out there who takes the idea of tipping one's landlord seriously? I always thought this was just an absurdist running gag...

It will have been (or was?) a running gag til someone took it seriously. Like birdsarentreal used to be a flatearthers parody.
No matter how absurd the thing one makes up, there will be idiots believing in it.

Satire has to be deployed with skill and intent, otherwise morons will mistake it for basic representation.

I fear half the problem is the sheer ignorance to how even engaging with those terrible ideas has to be done carefully, and everyone just wants to crack jokes.

So was Trump for president of the U.S at one point. Unfortunately absurdism is dangerous to use nowadays.
