๐Ÿ˜† Re-re-reading it, i think it can be seen both ways: either that you didn't get OP's context, or others didn't get your irony. (I shall assume it was).

For anyone who still wonders: the "literally" in Steve's first answer gives it away -- "This is an autistic place but OP's question assumes that everyone is aware of the context, so let me make a point by taking the question as literal while disregarding the context, and answer accordingly." -- Quite an ND joke.
