How did the mansplainer die?

He fell into a well, actually

Another version (extra cold, I think!):
Did you hear about the mansplainer who fell into a hole?
It was a well, actually.
- That makes a lot more sense and now is actually funny.
- That deserved its own post.
Maybe I'm being dense, but I'm gonna need a mansplanation for this one.
- Well, actually the joke is making fun of the way certain people explain things to people they think are dumber than them. But don't you worry your pretty little noggin. We'll make sure you understand this joke.
  
  Struggling over whether to upvote, downvote, both, or neither 🤔
- I think it’s a play on “well, actually blah blah blah fact maybe” rebuttals.
  
  Hate when I catch myself "Well, actually"ing. I'll either try to reword it to not sound so dickish or I'll discard it if I think it's not actually helpful or interesting.
  
  Typical Redditor lol
My wife asked me what "mansplaining" is and now I'm not sure how to answer her.
- you're in a dangerous loop.
Accurate representation of wish fulfillment.

Actually it was a tree, he fell into a tree from a great height
I guess he couldn't see that well.
- Well well well...
