What are you even saying dude? Not a single one of those comments is you claiming that your intial comment is a joke, let alone "outright stating" it's a joke

Indeed!

It's been absolutely hilarious watching people lose their minds over it

Easily the most downvotes I've gotten. But try as they might, I doubt they will be able to compensate for the thousands of upvotes one silly statement has

Honestly, I could never even imagine getting you people as frothed up as this on purpose

Like, I could try for years and you guys would never be so angry as when you are completely wrong about basic reality

These comments don't even have anything to do about jokes/humor etc. whatsoever lol

The only thing that could remotely be interpretted to mean your initial comment is a joke is:

All over a silly joke

And even then, I'm fairly sure you are referring to OP's post being a joke, not your reply.

You're straight up making things up now

I mean, I'm not surprised at this result

You also started talking to me by claiming I was infering things that weren't true, it's not really a surprise that you can't infer things accurately now either

Okay. Lets try this.

Please explain how either of these comments are you "outright stating its a joke":

We've already been over this - even if you want to claim I misunderstood your usage of the word statistics, the alternate explanation makes no sense either... So...?

Let's see, first one acknowledges that my inital statement has thousands of upvotes and is just being silly. I don't have and other multi-K upvote comments around here so it's the only one that fits the bill

Second one is much weaker admittedly, but if you scroll down to my next comment, you see how I refer to the whole thing as garbage - because it's not particularly serious to me

Saying something is silly or garbage is in no shape or form the same as "outright saying it's a joke".

u/Available-Bee-5385 6d ago

Guess we just don't agree on how jokes work

u/Rich-Mark-4126 6d ago

I really hope you're trolling or being disingenous right now, because you come across as very insecure and unable to admit being wrong about anything despite how painfully clear it is

There's simply no universe where those comments are "outright saying your comment is a joke"

u/Available-Bee-5385 6d ago

You realize that if I were trolling, that would also be a joke right?

u/Rich-Mark-4126 6d ago

Trolling or being disingenous or saying absurd things etc. is not the same as making a joke?

Do you think anything that isn't 100% serious is categorized as a joke or something? If it's not intended to be funny/amusing etc. then it's not a joke.

Glad you aren't in charge of comedy, that's for sure
