No, not you -- that was exasperation at the sudden, aggressive downvoting of what was clearly signposted as a joke.

It was as clearly whimsical as I can make it. Complimenting on being wrong on something so small.
But you're just making my point for me. I genuinely forget this place hates jokes that don't come with footnotes.

- nkozyra 5y agoI think the issue is less jokes than posts without enough context to live on their own. I've seen plenty of humorous posts received well here when they're not jokes for the sake of the joke.
- unfocussed_mike 5y agoFair point.
