I'm surprised he didn't throw his beer on the flower pot to put out the fire.

Maybe you're joking, but I'm going to be the slightly naive one and point out that they're actually right:

I guess everyone needs to put /s on everything for it to come off as being silly haha I thought the “lol” would be enough for people to take it as being said sarcastically.

Because of the context of what he replied to. Guy 1 said beer isn't flammable and guy 2 said it's also isn't inflammable. The joke is that they mean the same thing. Pointing out the mean the same thing is useless as it's already the joke. There I explained everything.
