  It would make for a pretty cool setting for a story though. Set in the near future, first crewed missions to Venus find petroglyphs recording the last days of their ancestors

    It’s a surprisingly common scifi trope.

  It’s not sarcasm though.

    Then why the fuck out a /s at the end when it isn’t sarcasm

      It is by definition not sarcasm. So it doesn’t need a /s

      Sarcasm usually involves saying the opposite of what you really mean. But it’s hard to infer from text so you add the /s

      I.e. the OC is soo sarcastic /s

        I don't think you've quite understood '/s'. The author was not serious with his post and indicated this fact with '/s'. By definition it is sarcasm as that's what the author defined it as.
