It is absurd the number of people who legit cannot identify sarcasm without the SpongeBob text or a flashing red "/s" tag.
Chill the fuck out lmao.
Unfortunately, Poe's Law
nah just use the /s tag, I'm great at picking up on sarcasm via text. Your fault, stop bitching about what you've reapt and sowed.
Yep. All great jokes conclude with a "just joking". Brevity is the bane of wit.
Well, you see, the way human communication works is that we use details from our surroundings called "context". A big part of that context is what's called "human expression", which includes "facial expressions" and "hand gestures", which we use to "indicate" that we are joking.
That's the purpose of tone indicators. Sorry, you're wrong, ending a comment with /s does nothing to reduce the effectiveness of the joke.
Is... is this sarcasm?
Exactly.
I refuse the /s.
The /s is like wearing a condom. Yeah it's safer, but sometimes you just need to live dangerously.
how would you incorporate vasectomys into this analogy?
Serious answer: I wouldn't--not every analogy works in reverse.
Non-serious answer: not giving a shit about downvotes is like getting a vasectomy. You can post all the "/s"-free sarcasm you want, but knowing there is no negative consequence means a bit of the thrill is gone.
yes...sarcasm.
totally believable.
