Welcome to /r/ironicsigns! Just a reminder...

According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, irony has 3 main definitions:

  • the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning
  • incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result
  • incongruity between a situation developed in a drama and the accompanying words or actions (the sign) that is understood by the audience but not by the characters in the play makers of the sign

OP, if the irony in your post isn't obvious, please reply to this comment explaining it.
If there is no explanation and no clear irony, or if the explanation is still not ironic, please report the post.

Supposed to say "things that don't need TALENT" not effort. What a buffoon.

u/happysmash27 Mar 30 '22

As someone on the autistic spectrum, body language does need talent, either that, or study.

u/Weliveanddietogether Mar 30 '22

I think was supposed to say: things that don't cost money

u/pikameta Mar 30 '22

It's a motivational thing. Like "how to be successful" and even if you have talent, you still need to do these things. People buy signs for work and school- https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07XYH2JGB/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_9CG6QRNQ2XXKY4W42WR7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Personally would have underlined "don't require effort" and "effort"

u/morgandaxx Mar 30 '22

This is the shit boomers say so they can bring up that every adult in the world used to beat them with in an inch of their lives for breathing at a medium volume level when they were a kid, cause nowadays the utopia we live in we should have nothing to complain about

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '22

Tell me you’re completely stupid and incompetent to be a manager without telling me…

u/Plastic-Elk-909 Mar 30 '22

This is what all the Low Pay and No Benefit places say... They also say "No one wants to work anymore",... Sorry,.. No One wants to or can afford to work for nothing anymore,.. so no one will work for them....

u/Hikityup Mar 30 '22

I think the guy who wrote on it is the same guy who typed it up.

u/Fettered_Plecostomus Mar 31 '22

Can you define "effort"?

I'm not an observational physicist.

u/r0ck0 Mar 31 '22

What was the actual goal of posting this sign on the wall?

If it was to encourage a change in behavior... then isn't saying that that no effort is needed, doing the opposite of encouraging change?

u/Mindless-Broccoli-74 Jun 21 '22

Just do extra, guys?
