From what I heat Spec Ops: The Line comes closest to doing something like that.

Banger show. Wish Hirsch got to make more stuff but unfortunately the Western Animation Industry is run by soulless demons who hate creativity, fun, and joy.

Remember to say “no” to the Demiurge, kids.

Context is the most useful clue. If a take sounds absurd there’s a fairly high chance it’s meant to be interpreted exactly that way.

e.g. “Man, I can’t wait to get bombed!”

Does this sound like something a normal person would say? No, it sounds too outlandish to be believable. Could someone believe this unironically? Sure, but the odds aren’t likely. Most people don’t want to be bombed - never mind be excited at the prospect.

Word choice also matters. Notice the choice of the first word: “man” being used as a casual expression, followed immediately by something horrific. It’s too nonchalant.

Nobody enjoys being bombed, nobody wants to be bombed, and nobody would be so chill with the idea of being bombed. This isn’t behavior you’d see from normal people; so it’s easy to conclude that there are only two possibilities:

1. The person saying this is actually insane.
2. They’re being sarcastic.

The latter is statistically more likely and tends to be the safest bet.

This isn’t an exhaustive list of how to convey sarcasm through text but generally all you have to do is follow the basic logic of taking a serious topic and applying a non-serious take to it. The real trick is figuring out how outlandish what your saying sounds. Some things sound crazier to some people more than others, which is why it’s generally best to sound as silly as possible lest you be misunderstood - as happened here.

There are ways to convey sarcasm through text alone. Your post made no attempt to convey any such undertones; it was completely straight-faced and delivered in a believable manner. It sounded like something someone would really say and believe unironically.

But what do I know about written language and how it’s used? I’m just a writer.

I apologize for being stupid. Clearly your superior intellect just made me feel inadequate.

You are a communist. Please act like it.

Fire is pretty. 🥰

The hallmarks of a dystopia are fear, distrust, and vigilance.

Lived in Florida for 10 years.

The average White Floridian is genuinely braindead. You can always tell when someone comes from out of state.

I’m a big Reeducation Truther but yeah at a certain point there’s just nothing left of an evil person to save. They’re too far gone and have become a walking poison for society.

Are they even using the “freedom” excuse anymore? Are they even using excuses at all at this point?

bleak shit, man

just demonstrates how NGOs are all just fronts

Capitalists never learn.

The more they repress us, the more we rebel. Giving us treats was the secret they learned during the Cold War but of course their greed is both their biggest strength yet crucially also their greatest weakness.

We beat the fascist dogs once and we’ll do it again. Maybe this time it’ll stick.

The bourgeoisie are demons wearing human skin.

idk about you but i’d really rather not find out, personally

No this is all civilian/personal vehicle stuff. They’re common cars too; not luxury cars.

I sincerely doubt the plant manager is behind it. He isn’t the one releasing orders nor does he create the schedules.

I doubt the plant is closing as it’s also the corporate HQ. It wouldn’t be closing unless they were moving buildings or shutting the whole company down, and they wouldn’t be able to hide either of those things.

See, they claim it’s to “build up inventory for two days” but this goal seems unattainable and also hadn’t been attained prior to me working here. Allegedly they hadn’t worked OT for some months before now too which is why I don’t buy that excuse.

For as long as I’ve worked here we’ve never been two days ahead of schedule.
