Yes but he was obviously joking. Still a dumb joke.
You can see it in context here.
Are you telling me Lemmy has missed an obvious joke?
That's unheard of.
It is legitimately harder to tell in recent days what is real, what is fiction, what is sarcastic, what is satire. Such is the pathetic state of the world.
Tell me about it. I just wish shit stayed sane but the internet makes the world so much more absurd and sad for me. I do envy people who had that pre internet/social media adulthood. I at least didn’t experience social media as a child by being born in the late 90s.
Having been on Lemmy for a year now, one stark contrast to Reddit is how much sarcasm just goes over everybody's head here. Sarcastic comments are always down voted into oblivion, despite agreeing with the common consensus in the thread.
