Well I was fucked from the starting line cause I assumed the full caps, blatantly idiotic statement would come across as sarcasm but hey here I am
You’d be surprised. I thought someone was being sarcastic when they were talking about the “shamdemic,” only to find out no, they were completely serious. There are people on here who would say that in all seriousness.
I'm gonna edit to make it even more idiotic
Sarcasm is a natural part of human interaction.
It's not the core part of conversation, or information transfer, but is natural to all cultures.
