If anybody is thinking of downvoting the above comment, they’re being sarcastic to highlight the point.

The fact that this needs to be pointed out makes me sad. I remember a time when it would have been obvious. There was a time when if someone said something over the top, and absurd, it was known to be sarcasm.

Now we have a president who says things like "THEY'RE EATING THE CATS AND DOGS!!!" and a large, maybe even majority, percent of the population just nod and accept it as fact. Because despite being 100% false, it was said with the intention to be treated as fact.

This is just one example, but this is how society is now. People just saying the dumbest shit, and others nodding along.

So when a comment like that is posted, a lot of people WON'T get the sarcasm, because there ARE people who would legitimately say these things. So now it needs to be pointed out.

We live in the dumbest timeline.

What i appreciate about Lemmy is usually not needing to include the /s.

You never need to, unless you're afraid of internet points
