Comment on Lying can be so complicated

  Eh. I made a joke, but then someone missed it corrected me (the audacity!). I tried hard to make it more obvious, but somehow complaining about “plot holes” wasn’t enough.

  I already died on this hill, but kept pushing my rotten corpse along it, because what’s the harm.

    For what it’s worth, I interpreted your original comment as a joke, but then the doubling and tripling down made me think you were serious. Sometimes you should just let the original lol stand alone.

      Yeah, I can see how that happens. But in my defense, I don’t think any real person could have gone through this thought process to turn the obvious clues into the most unreasonable conclusion possible.

        I think you are underestimating the amount of near braindead people posting shit on the internet. Sometimes a person really is as dumb as you were pretending to be.

        This is why they invented emoticons and emoji. On the Internet, no-one can tell you are smirking unless you tell them

        The internet is method acting and some of us are in too deep to come out

  If you can’t tell, is it really the most obvious troll?

  Alternate explanation:

  This person is Finnish, English is not their primary language, jokes and colloquial sayings very often do not really directly translate between languages.
