What a f*cking stupid thing to say, get back to work you underachiever lol
(..Is /s needed? I'm afraid of the other mentally ill people here)
- The thing about /s is that it can never hurt. It’s why we do science on “obvious” things; confirmation and clarity is always valuable.
  Oddly enough the “lol” actually introduces the biggest doubt to me. It taints the commitment to the satire somewhat.
  
  /s can never hurt, but there will always be someone saying "I hate sarcasm tags because they're for stupid people" and that can hurt
  
  Just remember that those are the stupid people because they don't understand that sarcasm isn't only about the reader but also the writer. Some people's sarcasm is much clearer than others and for the one's whose sarcasm isn't is heavily noticeable, the /s helps.
  Also, whining about non-harmful stuff that people do that isn't what you would do instead of just living your life doing what makes you happy is generally pretty stupid anyways.
  
  "/s" is cowardly. If you fly too close to the sun you should accept the fall.
  
  wow, you've totally convinced me
  /s
  
  Sarcasm should be a joke that also makes a point. In fact, even if you don't intend to make a point, the point will fuck you over. To boot, you prolly didn't even recognize point when you were called on it because the reply was too witty for you to clock and reply too. You just play random nonsense that seemed witty to you before you tried to land the ridiculously lucky movement you've made it thus far past the real enemy. You said you were a leaf on the wind before your whole point landed center in and through you.
  It's a little comical but at least your wife and your people fixed everything and gave birth to your son!
  
  /s
  FTFY
  
  No. That's all canon.
  
  Dude.... how fucking high are you?!?
  That is some A+ delusional ranting. Or was that /s too somehow?
  
  Watch how I soar.
  
  Sometimes if I think part of my comment isn’t clearly sarcastic enough I’ll go full html.
  Like this:
  <s>
  Donald Trump is soooooo handsome
  </s>
  
  That's... beyond sarcasm. Hey, are you harassing us!?
  <s>
  /s btw
  </s>
  :-P
  What is even going on right now!? :-D
  
  I would neeeeeeveerrrrr harass youuuuuu
  
  (works in Always Has Been meme... though I am not sure how, nor much clue really even why!?:-P)
- The /s is absolutely needed - and even then, sadly it does not always help:-P.
  
  Instructions unclear, tempted to downvote to give me clarity.
  ..,
  ....
  /s
  
  As requested: WISDOM!
- I find "/s" has become mandatory, else you get reddited to oblivion.
  erm..../s
  
  Not /s - genuine:-(
- /s is not needed outside the US. In the UK and Oz, sarcasm is assumed until proven otherwise
  
  You've been to Oz? 😳
  
  Yes, I don't watch too much TV so it means something different
- Don't worry, I'll always take your words ironically.
