What a f*cking stupid thing to say, get back to work you underachiever lol
(…Is /s needed? I’m afraid of the other mentally ill people here)
The thing about /s is that it can never hurt. It’s why we do science on “obvious” things; confirmation and clarity is always valuable.
Oddly enough the “lol” actually introduces the biggest doubt to me. It taints the commitment to the satire somewhat.
/s can never hurt, but there will always be someone saying “I hate sarcasm tags because they’re for stupid people” and that can hurt
Just remember that those are the stupid people because they don’t understand that sarcasm isn’t only about the reader but also the writer. Some people’s sarcasm is much clearer than others and for the one’s whose sarcasm isn’t is heavily noticeable, the /s helps.
Also, whining about non-harmful stuff that people do that isn’t what you would do instead of just living your life doing what makes you happy is generally pretty stupid anyways.
“/s” is cowardly. If you fly too close to the sun you should accept the fall.
Sometimes if I think part of my comment isn’t clearly sarcastic enough I’ll go full html.
Like this:
<s>Donald Trump is soooooo handsome</s>
That’s… beyond sarcasm. Hey, are you harassing us!?
<s>/s btw</s> :-P
What is even going on right now!? :-D
The /s is absolutely needed - and even then, sadly it does not always help:-P.
I find “/s” has become mandatory, else you get reddited to oblivion.
erm…/s
/s is not needed outside the US. In the UK and Oz, sarcasm is assumed until proven otherwise
