    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

        As an ex-young person and a non native english speaker, definitely agree. Back when I was younger and on Reddit I have missed satire on many different jokes cause the intentions of commenters would be hard to deduce.

        Thankfully I wasn’t stupid enough to do something like put out an electric fire with water, but there has most definitely been a case of someone killing themselves because they couldn’t tell whether a comment was a joke or not.

          At the risk of getting obliterated with down votes like you are, I enjoyed your perspective and agree with you at the surface level.
