Not being able to interpret sarcasm is a sign of autism.Imagine if redditors pushed these tendencies on actual shows/media articles? No decent media would be left.
People don't even read the article. They rather just read the headline, but if you clicked on the link then you would see that they literally say that the website is SATIRE.
i think you're bouncing off against the boundaries of dry humor, satire and actual sarcasm, but i agree that's the right delivery for all three. but if literally no one understands your joke, then it wasn't "well-crafted" at all.
I love how when you usually point this out, the retards proudly claim that sarcasm cannot be expressed in text. As though written satire never existed before reddit's autistic-ass "/s" tag
Christian's can not even have a satire site that isn't taken seriously by some political position. Why Snopes even fact checks that site is beyond me, do they do it for HardTimes and Onion? Don't think so.
Babylon Bee is so caught up in irony that people are literally saying "omg i know it isn't true, but what if it was? We truly live in a society". My god people need to get a grip.

This place is literally nothing but a left-wing circle jerk at this point. Of course everyone not a left-winger is getting downvoted.
You've all made it very obvious. There is indeed space between TD (Which I don't think I've ever even posted on) and SRD, which this place has become. Sort by controversial. Any post picking on women or the left, is controversial. Most posts picking on men and the right, are not.
It's not like you guys are even trying to hide it. You've been posting BRDs for days. Sharia Blue has a heavy presence here, including among the mods, and BRD posts are the mods signalling that this sub is now fallen to the fempire. Hence why any post mocking a woman is suddenly downvoted, and a ton of weird SRD leftist shit is getting upvoted.
Bird=BRD=Bring Reddit Down; a SRS meme. Try to deny it by calling it out in plain sight, but it is what it is.
It's time for anyone else just plain leave this sub, block its regulars and go hang out in bigger, better subs, because if every place is a partisan circlejerk (and this place definitely has been for the last few months), we're better off in our own circlejerk subs, like CringeAnarchy, which is a lot bigger than place, and no more or less full of retards. /r/drama is just SRS/CB2 circlejerking at this point. Literally nothing they say makes sense, but they all frantically upvote each other and downvote anyone else.
I won't be interacting with any of you further on this post. You know what's happening here. It's very obvious."
you got any examples? I have a friend who believes with his whole heart and soul that snopes is the unbiased truth from god and i love sending him shit like this to shake that faith.
Just as with SNL, people have had this sentiment this since within the first couple of years of its launch. Either its never been funny (the correct take) or you've just since grown out of it
No it genuinely has, I regularly watch older videos from pre-2014 and newer ones and there is a huge difference in quality. I think all the half-decent writers went to Clickhole, which isn't as good as old Onion but closer than current Onion.
Idk, don't you think that the headline is absurd enough?
Georgia Lawmaker Claims Chick-Fil-A Employee Told Her To Go Back To Her Country, Later Clarifies He Actually Said 'My Pleasure'
The only problem is that the reality was just as if not more absurd, it turned out that it was she who told the guy to go home and then got confused somehow, but maybe that's the actual point. Imagine a satirical site that takes absurd events like that and only changes a few irrelevant details, without making anything more absurd. "But that's actually what really happened? -- Yep, pretty much, tis a clown world innit?"
The fact of the matter is that being a fact checker requires nearly unimpeachable integrity and objectivity. One instance, the initial facebook fuckup, can be simply passed off as a fuckup. All human institutions fuck up at some point or another. You apologize, retract, correct, and move on.
For them to come back and go after the same sight again, after already having been put in their place, has the foul odor of agenda posting. It implies that the first mistake was no mistake, but also agenda driven. As all drama knows, there is no action fouler than agenda posting, and nothing that creates a worse scent in the nostrils of the enlighted cynicism we strive to cultivate. By comrpomising their integrity and lowering themselves to such actions, Snopes has damaged themselves, and this is good for dramacoin.
They know it's a satire site. The Bee is pissed off because Snopes implied that their brand of satire blurs the lines between intentionally misleading and satire.
Also, fuck the automod. My original comment got removed for some reason.
I am David Jim Brown, Head Officer-in-Charge, Administrative Service Inspection Unit United Nations Inspection Agency in Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport Atlanta, Georgia. During our investigation, I discovered an abandoned shipment through a Diplomat from United Kingdom which was transferred from JF Kennedy Airport to our facility here in Atlanta, and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in 2 Metal Trunk Boxes weighing approximately 130kg.
The consignment was abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the consignee as money rather it was declared as personal effect/classified document to either avoid diversion by the Shipping Agent or confiscation by the relevant authorities. The diplomat's inability to pay for Non Inspection fees among other things are the reason why the consignment is delayed and abandoned.
And you're not sure if it's real or not so you head on over to snopes to find out!
