No matter how many examples you can pull to show us why we should know it’s a joke/satire, there are 10,000 examples of someone being completely serious.
You know… I was going to write a joke that ‘you can’t fool me, you all only exist on my phone.’
Then I thought there probably will be AI-run forums running just for one user, and responding to their posts and comments with positivity and praise to stroke their egos, and I made myself sigh.
And now you have to read my deluded thoughts - which is dragging me back to reality, yep… this is the internet.
Autistic people sometimes process humor differently than neurotypical people. But autism is a spectrum so to say “all autistic people don’t understand jokes” would be an overstatement.
Here is a site if you’d like to read up more on it.
early 40s and I don’t feel old at all. Yet my younger zoomer coworkers behave like life is over at 24-26. Last time I asked my parents (boomers), they told me they started feeling old in their early 30s. Might be a generational thing.
I finally feel like an adult but I think that’s less to do with my age and far more to do with my family, career and financial status. Physically I’m in far better shape now than I was a decade ago, so I’ve got that going for me at least!
Yeah idk, I’m 35 and I’ve felt like a teenager trapped in a slowly decaying meat prison since I was like… 17 maybe? Even as I graduated, got a job, got married, started a family… Every step it was just like “Surely this is where I finally start to feel like a real Grown-Up,” and every time it just doesn’t change. I still feel like a stupid teenager pretending to be an adult. One that does an alright job pretending mind you, but I still feel like I’m just pretending even after this long.
Since when was 28 “older women”?
I feel like super old and I’m only in mid-30s
The original post was a tongue in cheek joke by the girl, she does not really think 28 is an older woman.
Can people just not parse jokes or read nuance anymore?

Don’t catch you clickin now
Ah fuck, now I want a Donald Glover/Bo Burnham collab on this.
Literacy has basically never been worse
A good number of us on the fediverse are autistic so nuance doesn’t alway get parsed properly.
Completely fair, I didn’t consider that.
They don’t know what jokes are?
“a joke is to lie for other people’s entertainment” - most autists

Yeah, took me awhile to adjust from reddit where the default is sarcasm. You gotta remember where you are, neurodivergency abounds on the Fediverse.
I’m pretty new here personally and I feel way more comfortable in two weeks than I did in 12 years on Reddit.
I feel much the same way and have been here quite a while now. And just in case you haven’t read it yet: welcome to Lemmy.
Thank you! ☺️
