I think this study has been fabricated.
Yep, definitely feel more intelligent now.
If this gets downvoted a lot then I do think that people stating to stay away from sarcasm are right ;-)

- stanferder 7y agoI just interpret sarcasm as if it were sincere, treating every backhanded compliment as a forehanded one.
- mettamage 7y agoHmm... that might be true — it’s a bit subjective to judge it. But what I can tell you is that I made similar low effort comments that got high upvotes. The key difference is that those comments have a positive sentiment. I sometimes make comments like the above to test the hypothesis: negative sounding comments get downvoted. I find it interesting because I’ve learned that if I want to be relatable then I should be positive. Even when a negative comment is thematically appropriate (like the one above), the chance of it being downvoted is still quite high. I think it’s easier to be critical when negative affect is in play. I find it fascinating to see both sides of the story.
