Apples and Oranges, dude. My stimulus check was direct deposited on
March 16th.

Nope, you are the stupid one. Are they supposed to guess your bank
account number?

Here's how it works (and has worked for the last year, dipshit). If you
filed a tax return for 2019 or for 2020, the IRS uses the info you
provided them to issue the stimulus checks. If direct deposit and your
bank info was on the return, that's how you get the stimulus check. If
not, they mail a physical check to your house.

If you didn't file a tax return in either of those years, when the whole
idea of stimulus checks came about due to Covid-19 you could have gone
on the IRS website, filled out a 1040 form showing zero or whatever
pittance of an income you may have had and filled in the information for
direct deposit. Obviously you are so wrapped up in your little world
you didn't bother to find out.
