For honest jokes, it's true but on the Internet it can depend on the joke(r). There's dogwhistles and the whole Shrodinger's asshole as well.

I think they meant "joke(r)" as shorthand for "joke or joker". Not sure how they got code quotes into there though.

lol, I put joke(r) and it turned into the (r)

code quotes are using the backtick

backslash in front of the open parenthesis to avoid the "autocorrect" to (R)

\(R) = (R)
