/s stands for sarcasm, which is what I think you wanted to say.

Because its really hard to expect anyone to understand if you are joking or not in text form.

You need to be clear with things like this.

I am literally unable to understand sarcasm.

How did you know that it was supposed to be sarcastic, then? You said they forgot the /s. How were you able to identify sarcasm if you can't understand it?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

I understand. I don't agree, but I understand.

You can infer sarcasm by context. Some of the best sarcasm has no change in tone; this is called "dry" sarcasm and is common in Britain, for example.

Funny how often people get downvoted to hell here for posts that are obviously sarcasm.
