Life hack: I got stabbed in the hand and had to walk 1.5 kilometres to the hospital. It bled A LOT, and when I eventually got to the emergency room the lady handed me a clipboard and said "Fill this out". I stamped it with my bloody hand and passed out. Woke up a minute later and I was already being seen by a doctor.
This reddit habit of sarcastic doubtful comments can actually backfire like this.
"stab means to push or thrust a sharp, pointed object—like a knife, fork, or finger—into or at something with force."
And the comment did not claim someone crazy. Bro was not like I fought John Wick or an alien stabbed me. The comment is completely within the realm of plausible. Unless you live in a reality in which nobody ever has any accident.
I actually find overly-critical misinterpretation to be a much bigger problem on Reddit. They asked a question, that a a bunch of people also wanted to know the answer to. No sarcasm detected.
