You successfully managed to ignore the joke entirely.

[–] this@sh.itjust.works 43 points 4 months ago (1 children)

actually I found the joke to be funnier because it was litterally technically correct.

[–] Zozano@lemy.lol 7 points 4 months ago

YOU'RE literally technically correct.

I don't know what it is with the fediverse, but I feel like in every thread and with every joke, there's always a highly upvoted comment that just completely misses the mark and treats the joke seriously, or just plainly misunderstands it.

somebody explaining a component of the joke doesn't mean that they didn't get it.

That's an internet thing.

You often can't easily distinguish irony/sarcasm from stupidity, written language (i.e., no cues like tone), language barriers in general (as a non-native I might not get subtleties or might use them wrong), and the high density of people on the spectrum doesn't exactly help.

Understanding people is hard.
