Can you please explain the last joke you made that you're sure no one got? (lemmy.world)

We all make jokes that don't land, but sometimes we make jokes that should've been funny if anyone understood it.

Maybe it was too subtle, or too nuanced like a joke based off work-jargon.

Whatever it was, what joke did you say that should've had people in stitches but... didn't land?

Now is your time!

I've learned the lemmy requires a "/s" tag 99.99% of the time.

    I have one heavily downvoted and removed comment because I sarcastically said something like

    "Get the fuck out of here with your well thought through and reasoned opinion. This is the Internet, nuance isn't allowed here"

    Oh the irony

    No, that is absolutely possible. People on Lemmy don't understand sarcasm with out the /s and tend to over explain things to please a voice inside their head that is constantly begging for attention and telling them they have to correct everyone on the internet because everyone else too stupid to write anything coherently./s
