A daughter of James Craig, the Colorado dentist accused of fatally poisoning his wife and the mother of their children, testified Thursday that her father asked her make it seem like her mother wanted Craig to order the ingredients which ultimately led to her death.
I’m not sure that’s true. I observed more sarcasm without the need to flag it (/s) compared to reddit and I like it. My post are often sarcastic (probably a coping mechanism, the world has gone crazy) and I wouldn’t be a big fan of flagging them as such: “Hey look, I made a joke. Now laugh and press the upvote!”
I mean it definitely has been my experience that even the most blatant sarcasm and jokes is taken straight here more than even on Reddit. Facebook varies a lot ofc but if granny gets stuff easier than this place, something is off haha
I mean he was caught asking his daughter who is also describing her mother as her best friend to cover for him with a plan that was likely to fail to begin with. That’s not the plan of a mastermind. Actually the opposite.
I agree with you, but OP didn’t make that explicitly clear; being a total stranger and given the number of people who unironically promote everything from long-debunked conspiracy theories to outright lies, I do not see why anyone should assume somebody is joking rather than in earnest.
You’re welcome to infer that OP is being sarcastic, but they haven’t made a comment on the matter either way.
I get you point. I guess I’m a simple man. OP made me laugh. I expect because of sarcasm. If he actually thinks the guy is a mastermind I’d have to laugh even harder. In any case, I enjoyed his contribution to this community. Nevertheless, you point is valid, especially with topics that are more complex.
Criminal mastermind
If he was, he wouldn’t have gotten caught.
It’s sarcasm, my dude.
Right over my head… Need to make some coffee
No worries, enjoy your coffee.
Lemmy is even worse than Reddit at picking up sarcasm hah. Even my local Facebook group is better at it, which is wild

I saw a Lemmy mod mistake an obvious A Modest Proposal reference for a serious call to start eating children.
Either that has happened to more than one people or it was literally me that happened to hah, but on my lemm.ee account (RIP)
Poe’s Law
I thought they were serious, too.
