I always forget that sarcasm doesn’t work on the internet. I just tried to make a joke.

Sarcasm does not translate well in text, its got nothing to do with the Internet in general, tone and inflection are essential to conveying sarcasm, and neither are available through text.

Next time Mark it with “/s” and it will save you some time.

Adding /s won’t save me some time, I already know it’s sarcasm, it’ll save you time to understand an obvious and stupid joke.

So are you posting for you or for us? Because from that statement you just sound like you’re posting it for yourself.

Also it’s a bad joke if people don’t get it and you have to explain it, that’s why internet etiquette exists and why you should have used the “/s”, because we can’t read your corny ass mind over the Internet to get your lame joke, and we shouldn’t be expected to.
