I think it's a sign of the times that it is not as obviously recognisable as sarcasm anymore :/

- milesrout 2y agoIt was very obviously sarcasm. It only takes one clueless person to generate a thread of comments like this.
- mrguyorama 2y agoHN has always had people crazy/shitty enough to genuinely espouse beliefs similar to the one presented here. They rarely even get flagged or downvoted, so apparently it's not that offensive to the HN audience, which means you can only assume it to be within the community's overton window. So no, you cannot assume these things are sarcasm unless you are perfectly willing to just mis-categorize all crazies as "just sarcastic".
- morkalork 2y agoSorry, I'm seriously afraid I'll live long enough to see a generation of polar ice cap and glacier contrarians come up, like the flat earthers.
