    A truly amazing sight: An average Lemmy user discovers that they can’t tell when someone on Twitter is making an obvious joke

        That’s what makes it funnier, at least to me. 🤷‍♀️

          The joke would only hit with Americans because of it.

            It’s two jokes. The one abut not knowing about current events of the time and the one about making the first joke in a silly way. Could’ve made it clearer with using a sillier example.

            Or they’re just oblivious. But I think it was intentional.
