No, those people came over too. I posted something that I thought was very obvious satire and had someone think I was serious because I did not end it in "/s".
With the enormity of our community it's really hard to judge by mere text if what we read online is serious or not. Since all of us here do not know each other personally, we do not have context on what the poster's disposition or their character is. Thus we cannot judge the text based on that. And of course what others might consider as unrealistic might be normal to other people's point of view. So I think it's okay to be on the side of caution and add /s just in case.
What if... the OP is satire?
Now THIS is the philosophy I came for
uno reverse /s
No, if it was satire, I they would have put a "/s" at the end.
/s
Happened to me too and it always disappoints me a little, but I figure if someone doesn't get something that is just blatant sarcasm, that's not on me.
Omg me too! We must be the only ones here with superior intellect. High 5 all around for big throbbing brains
Sorry, you found the wrong person. I'm probably one of the stupider people here. I'm just also very sarcastic and try to make it very obvious.

I upvoted him anyway, because it was just so perfect.
Umm ...
I got banned from reddit because I declined to clarify whether something was sarcasm, because it was just too damned obvious.
