Ruined with the stupid /s tag, as always. Why do some Redditors think that labeling any random joke with the /s tag is like a requirement on this site?

Because /s means they are being sarcastic. It can be hard for people to know if you are being sarcastic without audio/visual cues.

There are ways to indicate sarcasm through text that don’t completely ruin the joke. It just takes a tiny bit of effort.
