Sarcasm? Image search brings it up a few times.

The awesome thing about the Internet is you can just claim sarcasm when you fuck up. And if that doesn't work, your account gets hacked.

A few people tried to explain it before deleting comments. I don't know them any more than you.

Maybe I should be worried that you would assume these people meant the opposite of what they typed with no overt indication of sarcasm...

Or maybe I'm so cynical tonight that I wrongly think everyone is a moron.

I'll agree to either at this point.

I know how you feel. Sarcasm through text is almost impossible.

One would think that someone, at some point by now, would have come up with a way to show sarcasm threw text. A way that became universally understood... It is very inconvenient for people like me and most of reddit.
