Can someone explain the usage of this/may be NSFW

"That tracks" or "This tracks with" is a surprisingly old usage of 'track' that has picked up again in modern slang. It means "To make sense" or "To be aligned with". It used to be (I'm not sure if it still is) used with pulled trailers, suggesting that a trailer's tires fall into the track-marks of the vehicle pulling it. Here are some other usages: \- "That tracks." : A full sentence. You can say this in response to someone giving info. Personally I view it as kind of dismissive ("He missed class again." "That tracks."), but it can be used in positive ways as well. \- "The growth output this year tracks with what we've seen in previous years." : The growth output was predictable and expected, based on previous years. \- "The machine is broken but hey that tracks for me." : A machine I need is broken and I am making a rude (self-disparaging) joke about my own bad luck. This is also related to someone having a track record.

It's similar to being "on the right track" - following in the expected direction, like a train on train tracks. In this case, it's "expected behaviour" - normal for his type of personality.

Baseball, huh?

"Tracks" as a verb as here, means "makes sense" or "logically follows" (as if on tracks). In this specific scenario, it means: "I'm the kind of character you'd expect to jerk off, so it makes sense that I'm doing it" - the insinuation perhaps being, it'd be totally out of character for someone else.

This use of “tracks” mean that something meets your expectations based on [what you know of someone’s character, how earlier events took place, etc.] For example, if your financially irresponsible friend told you that they just spent a bunch of money on something frivolous, your response might be “yeah, that tracks.” This is informal usage, so you will hear it sometimes in conversation (or shows), but this isn’t something you’d use in academic or professional writing/speaking

No idea without context and I feel there are better things to concern yourself with. Edit: "That tracks" means "That fits in with what we already know". Not sure how masturbating would track with a character.

The way it’s being used here, “tracks” basically means that something makes sense based on previous knowledge or experience with a person or thing. For example, if someone is very forgetful, you might say “That tracks.” in response to learning that they forgot their laptop at work.

Tracks is like saying something makes sense or is expected given the context of the situation (for this case character)

at least jerking off [makes sense] for my character. If you have a friend, John, that is always late: “By the way, John called me and said he’s going to be about 10 minutes late.” “Yeah, that tracks.” You’re saying “Yeah, that [makes sense when considering John’s normal behavior].”

hi, just like you, I’m learning english and I wanted to start using flashcards, could you tell me which software/app you use and how you use it?

Baseball, huh?

"Looks like my boss is doing dumb shit again" response: "that tracks". Normal american conversation at work. Hope that makes sense.

“Tracks his character” is also a wink/nod from the show writers. The joke being Rick is aware that he is a fictional television character.

OP, there are people commenting "Baseball, huh?" on this. I'm a native speaker and don't know what they're talking about. I had to look it up. It's an esoteric joke. It doesn't make sense (at least, not to most people). Don't feel bad if you don't understand it.

I've heard it used when someone is explaining something. They'll ask, "Are you tracking?" as a way of making sure you've understood what they've explained so far. Similar to "You follow?" Or "Are you following me so far?"

When something "tracks," it may mean it makes sense or is expected. So in this case, jerking off is expected for his character.

Track is like following, and in that scenario it just means it follows as in agrees/aligns with his character

"Tracks/tracks for" means that something is very expected of someone to do. I haven't watched rick and morty in years but rick was very open about his sexual experiences and is quite promiscuous so it would be in character for him to do something like this. so it "tracks" that he'd jerk off. For summer, not so much she was actually kind of a prude from what I remember

"tracks" is slang for "makes sense" or "checks out"

He's saying it's consistent with his character.

"Track" isn't what makes this sentence NSFW, "jerking off" is. Saying something "tracks" just means it's fitting or expected.

Tracks for, would not be out of character or maybe expected. He is taking about playing with himself.
