A lot of joke posts start with "let's be clear", because it's a hook.

Then you state something that makes someone angry, which keeps them reading.

Then you keep a long winded statement going that gets more and more obvious that it's a joke.

Contrary to normie belief, you can portray sarcasm through text and if you require a /s tag on a post that sounds like a you problem, fren. I tried to make it as obvious as possible the further I got through the post.

Or do you actually think that we need clinical trials to see if a bullet will kill a man?
