A truly amazing sight: an average Twitter resident discovers that countries outside of the US exist

A truly amazing sight: An average Lemmy user discovers that they can't tell when someone on Twitter is making an obvious joke

Its just a bad joke since HP is not set in america so the joke doesnt even make sense

That’s what makes it funnier, at least to me. 🤷‍♀️

I think that's part of the joke

The joke would only hit with Americans because of it.

It's two jokes. The one abut not knowing about current events of the time and the one about making the first joke in a silly way. Could've made it clearer with using a sillier example.

Or they're just oblivious. But I think it was intentional.

Too many of them are not joking though
