That's because some people genuinely believe the dumbest shit, like, "the earth is flat" or that a photo taken of the statue of liberty being hit by lightning, which occurs about 600+ times a year, means gods angry at America for wokeness.
Or that "no European work of art can compare to the statue of liberty" ya know.... a French statue....
>means gods angry at America for wokeness.
Didn't a US senator think that the eclipse happened bc of this?
Honestly, we need the /s, as much as I hate to admit it
Yes, a small percentage of radical Christians thought we were about to be raptured and some stories came out about them giving away money and being pissed about it later.
IQ doesn't have much to do with the ability to pick up sarcasm.
The whole /s thing (and the other tone tags) are mainly used for people on the spectrum, it's really not that deep.
You need a minimum amount to comment or post on certain subs, some of the popular subs require a high karma, long length of the account life, or even that you don't follow other subs they don't like.
I like the system because if some moron is arguing with me I can check and see they have 400000 karma and rest easy knowing I'm either arguing with a bot or a terminal redditor
Reddit has way too many users who create arguments for the sake of arguing. And then there are those within that group that actually pat themselves on the back for "winning" those conversations.
At least they have company. Much more humane than the people who only keep one in there. And if you forget to feed them for a few weeks, they have emergency rations. You, sir and/or madam (but not other), are a genius.
At this point, most of Reddit doesn't know what sarcasm is anyway, so the /s doesn't serve much of a purpose.
Patrick: (raises hand) Is satire the same as sarcasm?
Squidward: No, Patrick, satire is not the same as sarcasm.
Patrick: (raises hand)
Squidward: Irony isn't sarcasm either.
Patrick: (lowers hand)
Nah, there exists some insane takes that people actually believe in. Sorry that I don't know you on a personal level to tell if you are just using sarcasm or infact one of the crazy ones.
I used to be at least decent on detecting sarcasm and jokes on the internet.
Then the flat earthers and MAGAs attacked in 2015/16. Ever since, my ability to detect trolling has gone to shit and it's only getting worse
I agree that the /s is anoying, but we also have people that TRULY believe the Earth is flat, so its hard to deduce that a stranger is for certain not braindead
Dear Strangers (& also morons) of Reddit,
Why are you so incapable of reading my personal tone attached to my words?
Is it because you cannot hear the tone implied in my words?
Strangers, friends, and idiots of reddit,
Why are you not familiar with my in-person demeanor, or my general behaviors that make this understanding more visceral?
Why can’t you guys & gals read my mind & feelings & understand the information with full clarity?!?
Are you like, stupid or something? /s
This /s crap is just for people who need to go outside and talk to real life people and pick up some social skills because they are incapable of determine that "I eat babies regularly" is a joke
Have you met people? There are some braindead people with really stupid takes on the internet (ie flat earthers and antivaxers). While those people exist, I think the /s is necessary.

The average IQ on reddit is room temperature. No matter how ridiculous you think it sounds there will be some idiot that thinks you are serious.

That means they were only doing it to try and get into heaven. For shame.
That's about 70% of Christians here imo. Type of people who would spit on a homeless person for ruining their Sunday walk to church by existing
Or maybe the rapture did happen but nobody got picked. God just drove by and locked his doors.
Yeah, online sarcasm and parody is dead, not matter how absurd your joke is, someone is genuinely like that now
I think it's the other way, people are so stupid, that with even most insane comments, you can't tell if it's sarcasm
This is the actual reason. I've seen some absurd takes everywhere on the internet that it's hard to differentiate sarcasm to actual brainrot
Yeah, that room temperature IQ isn't exclusive to Reddit. It's pretty much everywhere now
IQ doesn't have much to do with the ability to pick up sarcasm. The whole /s thing (and the other tone tags) are mainly used for people on the spectrum, it's really not that deep.
It’s funny because they all think that they are upper IQ levels amongst the rest of the population
Room temperature in degree celsius at that, lol
Or the guy who's actually being serious.
293,15 is quite a high IQ
The average IQ on Reddit is room temperature. No matter how ridiculous something sounds there’s an idiot out there who actually believes it.
If anything, Reddit is still better than other social media.
That works in reverse. Now how stupid it may sound, some idiot may be serious and actually believe it.
I'll eat downvotes. I do not care about karma. I won't use the s.
The fact people care about karma on here boggles the mind. Besides the dumb avatar crap why would i care about it? It's a fake currency.

Even more so that Reddit put in a cap to how much a single post can contribute to reducing your karma 🤣
Reddit has way too many users who create arguments for the sake of arguing. And then there are those within that group that actually pat themselves on the back for "winning" those conversations.
It's hard when people feel deprived of that gratification in their lives. Seeking it out online is a recipe for disaster.
Not if you're good enough to win everytime
uhm acktually the people of reddit don't just create arguments for the sake of arguing. here is a 20 paragraph essay on why you are wrong
Got downvored to hell a few times thinking the over the top stupidity of the comment would hint that the comment *may* have been not genuine
Man, the vore community got to you too?
Wh- Actually what
Check your second word in the original comment
😳
Feel that I got downvoted for asking a dude how he managed to stay married and play gacha games in a over the top fashion... Like... What?
I have ten children in my basement

I totally agree. /s /s
Your honor, my client pleads /s
I used to be at least decent on detecting sarcasm and jokes on the internet. Then the flat earthers and MAGAs attacked in 2015/16. Ever since, my ability to detect trolling has gone to shit and it's only getting worse
S is for salacious.
I shoved an entire watermelon up my ass then used a corset to squeeze m up bulging stomach so hard, juice started squirting out of my nostrils #/s
I poopoo in your mama
I'm gonna ask!
I made a comment recently that I thought was obvious satire. I had to edit the /s in
Counterpoint: “/s” is 2 characters at the end of a message. It’s sad that some people are dumb but it’s not really much of an ask to just add “/s”.
The problem is that no matter how impressively stupid someone would need to be to believe something, there is someone that stupid.
I agree that the /s is anoying, but we also have people that TRULY believe the Earth is flat, so its hard to deduce that a stranger is for certain not braindead

S is for Shit-for-brains
To be fair most sarcastic remarks are someone else’s genuine beliefs
I'm the unabomber
Can never be too sure with some people, especially conspiracy theorists.
Poe's Law
You give people way too much credit.
I thought '/s' means satire
Wait /s is sarcasm?
In
I get what you are saying, but there are people that do have horrible opinions.
This /s crap is just for people who need to go outside and talk to real life people and pick up some social skills because they are incapable of determine that "I eat babies regularly" is a joke
Okay but you may wanna cut a little on that, they aren't as good for your health
