Absolutely fascinating video about chains in space, but I'm grateful to A. Adair B. A. :rebelverified: (npub1ptm…jjuj) for reminding me about Poe's Law, originally about Creationists:
> Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article.
During the Bush II years, that got generalized to "you cannot parody the Republican Party without sounding like the Republican Party" and now "the reason we must all put /s at the end of our snarky comments, no matter how obvious we think they may be."
The thing is, by indicating humour, you end up killing the joke. Yes, it's true, satire is dead.
