    Not a contraction, but still a recognized linguistic device called a clitic! That’s safe to Google, I promise. In this case it’s a proclitic

      Sure, I agree with that, and tbf a respondent in OP’s pic did say it’s almost a complete sentence of contractions, but I felt honor-bound to satirically gatekeeper something that’s fun to screw around with. Language is gonna language, believe me, I’m aware.
