I don’t see what’s oniony about this, people that don’t pickup after their dogs should be severely and unusually punished. Extrajudicial is just extra justice.
Edit: not picking up dog poop is inconsiderate, murder is abhorrent. Do we really need /s on nottheonion too?
It's called Poe's law
Thank you, im aware though. I just really like jokes and tagging one as /s lessens them.
It’s like a laugh track, rubber chicken, or rimshot. It just telegraphs the joke and robs discovering the humor. I know I’m very alone in this opinion by now, but the s/ is just a bad thing. We shouldn’t need a que to be on the lookout for the silliness in the absurd. Assume everyone’s playful and joking then you’ll laugh more. Disagree with something and make fun of it or riff with the stuff that you like. It’s just more fun.
Try funnier jokes?
Good note
