Of course it isn't. I am clearly making a joke. lol holy crap this is happening every single day on lemmy now whats happening to this place?

[–] tuxtey@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

I think you were both making jokes

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sarcasm is damn near impossible to pick up over text unless it's extremely obvious.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If it's extremely subtle sarcasm yes. I agree. There was nothing subtle about my post though

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I agree, but I've done the same thing before and people have totally taken it seriously.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

That doesn't mean it's extremely hard to pick up on obvious sarcasm. It just means some people are morons lol.

[–] FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

people with an extreme moral superiority complex emboldened by the anonymity of the internet.

Yeah, I crack sarcastic Jokes all the time and it feels like no one on Lemmy gets sarcasm

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I like to call them deadpan instead of sarcasm. Sarcasm has a tone to let others know that it isn't serious, while deadpan relies fully on the content itself.

I had a lot more deadpan comments crash and burn on Reddit than here. And even in this case, someone just questioned the comment while it had overall positive reception. I think Lemmy generally gets deadpan.

Something that is accurate and true is not a stereotype.

I'm sorry, but another user has already confirmed that some British men prefer being locked in the pantry so it isn't accurate.
