      Sarcasm is damn near impossible to pick up over text unless it’s extremely obvious.

          I agree, but I’ve done the same thing before and people have totally taken it seriously.

            That doesn’t mean it’s extremely hard to pick up on obvious sarcasm. It just means some people are morons lol.

        I like to call them deadpan instead of sarcasm. Sarcasm has a tone to let others know that it isn’t serious, while deadpan relies fully on the content itself.

        I had a lot more deadpan comments crash and burn on Reddit than here. And even in this case, someone just questioned the comment while it had overall positive reception. I think Lemmy generally gets deadpan.

        I’m sorry, but another user has already confirmed that some British men prefer being locked in the pantry so it isn’t accurate.
