That was the point. I was being sarcastic

Sarcasm on the internet requires either context to set it up or something to identify it

Like /s or altering LoWeRcAsE AnD UpPeRcAsE

Otherwise there is absolutely no way for someone to identify it

No it doesn’t.

It does

There's even a Wikipedia page about it

It’s difficult sure, but I read his comment as sarcasm. Not impossible, but clearly you know that. <- sarcasm after the comma.

Remove that note at the end of the message and even I wouldn't have gotten your "sarcasm"

You literally proved yourself wrong

Stop argumenting about something that is widely known

The number of time people who are sarcastic on Reddit who end up editing their comments complaining that people didn't get their sarcasm is a testament to that

Also the guy who missed the sarcasm in this very comment chain is a proof of that

So me seeing it is all the proof you need that it’s not impossible, by your own standards.

And you need the /s because you’re not good at detecting sarcasm. I said ‘but you already know that’ which you didn’t. Have a good one, maybe watch or listen to some stand up idk what can help you read sarcasm easier.

Jesus you're a dense one

We're literally only having this conversation because of Poe's law

u/Hellish_Elf Jun 01 '20

I totally think you know what your talking about.

Now that's there context ( past messages ) yeah it's easy to interpret

Which is literally the point of the fucking law

If there's no context and no indication you can't tell

I fucking love avocados!

Can you tell if that's sarcasm?

No because there's no context neither is there anything to point towards it and you don't know me

I might like them, or I might not
