But what about devices that can't display alternate fonts? Like mine? D:

[Frumple]

They can get stuffed.

Or quote the post to check for formatting. Or get whatever sort of update they need to be able to.

E: Or do without and be forever unsure as to the sincerity of online posts, like with the miserable present. The future of sarcasm font will be as to modern image browsers what modern image browsers are to the days of strict text output and smoke signaling.

That is likely to happen.

It isn't as if there's a simpler way to indicate sarcasm⸮

I just wanted to stop in here and say, with no sarcasm at all, that I really appreciate how people are separating the nutso tumblr-kiddies from actual online activists without being prompted or anything.  It's really awesome.

Sarcastically saying you're not saying something sarcastically? Double sarcasm, sarcasmception, or sarcasm-shit-stack?

No, I have a personal rule that if I say "no sarcasm," I always mean "no sarcasm," because it's so fucking hard to tell if I'm being sarcastic or not.

Huh. Well it seemed to me like they kind of were lumping together Tumblrites and reasonable web activists, and that you were sarcastically objecting.

A featureless grey box?

... apparently my comparison to smoke signaling was more apt that I thought.

If your device can't show alternate fonts, I'm not surprised.

We can use that hip new fad of using #hashtags at the end of #posts to indicate we're using #sarcasm. It's really #clever and #not #silly or #overused at all. #sarcasmthat was so meta I vomited in my mouth a bit.

Personally I think the BBCode [sarcasm] [/sarcasm] should be a thing.

And when you use it, the readers webcam should track their eyes, and when they read that part, it should say, "Oh, yeah, that's TOTALLY not sarcasm at ALL. Why would I EVER be sarcastic?"

Part of a conversation I was having with a friend.

En route home from france, my aunt pulled out her used up disposable cameras and in all seriousness said "I never saw the point in these, you cant see your photos at all when its used, it just goes in the bin"

Basically, she takes pictures with disposable cameras, but rather than sending them to be developed she just throws the cameras away.

but

how can you do that more than once D:

[Ogdibus]

I'm hoping that it only happened that one time, and she did it reluctantly because someone else insisted that she use them.

If not, I'm going to die a little inside.
