Sometimes you ask a question that’s a sincere attempt to solicit an actual answer, but everyone assumes it’s a rhetorical question. Like no, I’m actually asking.
I’ve always seen /srs as short for “serious”, I imagine most people would understand that
I like /srs, but /gen is growing on me
I usually use /gen
This feels, prescriptively, like the correct answer
There’s [serious] - it started on Reddit (I think) but doesn’t need to stay there.
It already exists. It it /s^H^H /s
Maybe /genq (genuine question) XD

You could say “I actually want to know… {{question}}?”
If someone starts making up new abbreviations I’m probably not going to take their question sincerely /!s
