Could have fooled me, I posted a funny and they told me their life's story.

    That was supposed to be funny? Are you sure?

    At least 14 people agreed, I think if the sub weren't filled with "SoFTwArE eNgINEerS" instead of actual Software Engineers then there wouldn't be as many if any at all downvotes.

    I'm not sure 'people agree with me' and 'they think I'm funny' mean the same thing.

    So then 13 people upvote a comment that contains nothing except for a long winded joke that they don't think is funny, you have a wonderful mind and I hope you have a fantastic day.

    I apologize. Clearly, you are the world's new George Carlin. I'm just unable to understand a wit like yours. But I am glad that you put that you were being sarcastic in all caps. Jokes are always funnier if you explain that they're jokes, so that's probably why those 13 people thought it was so hilarious.

    It literally says in in the comment in full capital letters at the end /SARCASM

    Which denotes the end of the SARCASM of the comment. I'm sorry you missed that. I didn't have to explain that it was a joke, I'm doing that now because I'm nice, I had to banter with you about the objective reality that people laughed with me about it.

    Yes, I know, as I said, I'm really glad you put 'SARCASM' in all caps like that at the end so everyone would know it was a joke because that's what makes jokes funny.

    In fact, it would have been even funnier if you had started it with "THIS IS A FUNNY THING I WILL TYPE NEXT:"

    You should probably edit your post and add that in for maximum humor. Think how many upvotes you would get to brag about then!

    I unfortunately cannot say in any confidence that you're the next Eddie Murphy.

    Well that's good, because I certainly haven't said anything funny. I mean, if I did, I would have notified you in all caps.
