I did think it was serious.. I see stuff like that said in all seriousness all the time online. My bad. It's too hard to tell anymore....

World's too crazy to tell what's serious and what not.

Yeah, agreed. I originally found the "/s" shorthand for sarcasm cringey, but I feel like it's necessary anymore..

It feels like reality and satire have merged, like we're living in The Onion or something...

It’s probably a fault of mine that I don’t take ridiculous ideas seriously, even when it’s well known that others do.
