Where the hell did you get HTML from? /s is a tag literally made to denote that a given text is sarcastic. It’s one of the few good things to come out of Twitter?
…that is much older than Twitter:
This symbol is an abbreviated version of the earlier /sarcasm, itself a simplification of <\sarcasm>, the form of a humorous XML closing tag marking the end of a “sarcasm” block.
It’s so much more obvious to make a statement sound insane or to use /s.
Also, would most of the world even interpret that emoji as “eye rolling?”
You only interpret ‘\s’ as sarcasm because of html and sarcasm beginning with the letter ‘s’. If you don’t think pictorial eye-rolling ‘looks’ like sarcasm, just consider it almost like hieroglyphs.

Only because he’ll get a ticket if he’s caught not wearing his seatbelt.
*it is I, THE IGNORANT ONE!
Heard it the same exact way when I was reading it.
Wow, it’s like you ignored everything I just said
Yup, seek help.
You should have deleted your comment.
It literally said “ignore this.”
Seek help.
Dude, i wasn’t even trying to talk to you. I thought I was talking to the other guy, which is why I left that there. Calm down.
I just realized you’re not the same person, but your response is still weird given the context of the conversation.
Original below, but ignore it I guess.
Because at some point people have to figure out their own shit for themselves.
Uh…The question was “why is the US so involved with Israel,” and you replied it’s because the US is against genocide. So then, ‘shouldn’t Israel be figuring its shit out’ without us?
We usually get involved when things get extreme, or when someone’s trying to keep us from the oil (just keeping it real).
Agreed, but I’m not the one picking favorites here.
There were/are many genocides over the past 70 years for which the US had/has the chance to intervene. If this was really our goal, why haven’t/don’t we step in for them?
But have you given your friends any pop quizzes though?
Why is it when someone has no argument left they always resort to calling people “kiddo”? Is there like a “losing a fight” manual where you guys get this from?
Cool, thanks for letting me know
I think he was taking the piss out of your use of “organism” instead of “organization”.
open air concentration camp
Not necessarily totally relevant to your point, but I keep hearing this and… what exactly do people think concentration camps are? Giant tents? Repurposed community centers?
I’m not sure I could point to one that wasn’t “open air”
To follow up on what the other commenter said, the term “Jew” started as a label for Judahites outside of Judah (part of the historical kingdom of Israel)
We have a cat that came from the breeder knowing how to play fetch. But more than that, he’s also very energetic and we don’t always have the time to play with him. One day I was particularly lazy, and instead of throwing stuff around the house I was just tossing the ball to him high in the air. Not only did he get that we were now playing “catch”, but later on I found him gripping the ball in his mouth and “flicking” it up in the air. Now, when he knows we can’t play with him, he essentially plays catch with himself.
This is exactly my experience as well. Same inciting incident.
The moon would affect the tides regardless of how long it’s been there. Calculating the effect of the moon’s gravity on the earth is a standard exercise in a graduate classical physics course. In essence, the moon’s gravity “squashes” the earth at the two poles, causing tides at the nearest and farthest end of the earth.
If anything, I would guess probably reddit since it kind of evolved from the early forums where it came from. Twitter has (had?) a much larger userbase though, so that’s not a bad guess either. 🤷♂️
