Fun fact, we didn’t used to need that. Which is why millennials typically don’t use /s outside Reddit. 90’s and early 2000s forum culture required everyone to use common sense, a concept now entirely ethereal to zoomers. Back in my day…

Yeah that’s new 2014+ Reddit technology, back in the early days of the internet sarcasm was a lot harder to detect and you were expected to figure it out with context haha, lots of us don’t know people expect /s and still try to be sarcastic without /s and instead use clues like emojis at the very end to denote it’s not serious like “lol” or “haha” or ;-; or T-T

I will be dead in the cold cold ground before I ever type “/s”

Same, but I feel like a steward of the web, I’ve been using it for so long lol

You don’t need to explain, they are clearly retarded. Literally made a sarcastic joke without using /s, then got confused because an obviously sarcastic reply that was riffing off their joke didn’t use /s.
