As a fan of both authors I'd just like to point out the quote is from Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
I've never really thought about it and I don't have the vocabulary to describe it, but they have similar humour in the way they look at humans and social interaction.

Likewise in one of the later books they visit "God's last message to the universe" or something like that and if I recall correctly it's "Sorry for the inconvenience"
Great great author.
I was listening to the audiobook and had tu de cypher it by writing onto the paper. Almost shat myself laughing when I realize what it said. You will be missed Douglas.
There’s a certain irony in using a Douglas Adams quote to support saying something is reminiscent of Terry Pratchett.
British humour, both lean into the absurd. I love them both, and can admit there are similarities.
I think that person just misremembered the author of the quote.
Those are two different people though. One thought or Terry Pratchett, the other of Douglas Adams.
Have you ever seen them both in the same room at the same time? I know I haven't. :)
One of them wears glasses and the other doesn't, so clearly they're separate people.
It does actually attribute the quote to Douglas Adams at the bottom of the image.
