It was a false positive.

Edit: I can't believe this needed a /s

[–] muusemuuse@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It was not

No this is an example where sarcasm and stupidity can't be distinguished via text alone.

Would have thought it was an obvious play on the headline, but I accept that sheer stupidity does exist.

Yeah unfortunately

No, it’s obvious to anyone with a brain. If the commenter seriously thought it might have been a false positive when they read the original comment, they never would have relayed their thought the way they did in their reply, and it is so clearly a reference to the content of the post that to analyze it even that deeply is overkill. To anyone reading this who is a native English speaker: if you think that comment needs a “/s”, you need to work on your reading comprehension. Read things more carefully.
