Could also be a joke?

Apparently we don't do jokes on Lemmy.

We really seem to don't. Saw a screenshot of a tweet the other day about someone's dad wanting to take a vacation to the spot where JFK was killed and look around, "just in case the FBI missed something," and people were calling that dude all kinds of awful things instead of just. Laughing. At the joke he was obviously telling

That shit was wild. Folks were actually pissed about dad over there.

And then you try to tell them it's a joke and they say "jokes are supposed to be funny"

But like? It is?? How is it not funny???

I guess you'd have to accept that it was an absurd postulate. And they did not.

My favorite was all of the "Doesn't he know this happened 60 years ago!" Like, mf don't YOU know this happened 60 years ago!

It’s fairly common for people to miss dry humor, especially online. I can be very deadpan in person and sometimes people who don’t know me well think I’m serious about the most absurd things.
