Oh you mean that was a serious post? I thought it was clearly a joke 😅

I did think it was serious.. I see stuff like that said in all seriousness all the time online. My bad. It's too hard to tell anymore....

World's too crazy to tell what's serious and what not.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, agreed. I originally found the "/s" shorthand for sarcasm cringey, but I feel like it's necessary anymore..

It feels like reality and satire have merged, like we're living in The Onion or something...

It’s probably a fault of mine that I don’t take ridiculous ideas seriously, even when it’s well known that others do.
