    WTF is the point of making a joke, putting an idiot-“s” then a disclaimer?

    If someone takes you seriously that’s a Darwin award waiting to happen and the human race will improve slightly

      I used to hate the /s but we live in a global world where there may be young people and non native english speakers reading these comments. What is an obvious sarcastic joke to you and I might get lost in translation and on a case like this where actual fatal consequences could follow the joke being misunderstood there’s no harm in the community self policing a little to help keep everyone safe and in the loop.
