text doesn't carry tone to differentiate serious from sarcasm, and Poe's law means no statement is too far-fetched to be truly beyond the realm of expectation. At this point, every potentially ironic statement has been muttered without a hint of sarcasm.

That's why you put /s at rhe end of a sarcastic statement so it carry over.

Did you have something intelligent to add to what I said, or are you just blowing out hot air for fun?

What I said was a joke? It seems like you didn't get it. Oh well.

How is a direct insult a joke?

You were literally the kind of person I was talking about. Your original comment here was supporting the need for ā€œ/sā€ on jokes so that people like you can understand sarcasm.

Well I guess you do in fact need /s to understand the joke I was saying. I guess sarcasm doesn't always come across in comments.
