Hey, it’s that time of the [insert arbitrary periodical time] again. So here’s another round of sarcasm (and, naturally, irony, satire and all other similar and not-so-similar forms of humor wrapped into memes) brought to you by the lovely folks on r/sarcasm.
So, yeah, scroll down. Or don’t.

As you might have understood by now, the online sarcasm community is pretty big. No doubt there might be some overlap there among the various followings, but you have a good dozen or so pages that all revolve around sarcasm or similar forms of humor.
Well, r/sarcasm is one of them.

r/sarcasm is one of the few Reddit communities that are purely dedicated to the linguistic art. It’s also by proxy the biggest one, having a membership of 34,700 people.
The community was officially created pretty early in Reddit’s life—back in 2008, and since then other related communities have also popped up, namely r/DangerousSarcasm and r/LearnSarcasm.

Sarcasm is widely used for a number of reasons, seemingly mostly as a form of humor or criticism. Or maybe even humor and criticism.
But it could also be a way that someone hides their insecurities, expresses their anger, deals with social awkwardness and even asserts superiority through mocking.

Well Noooo!
I wouldn't understand that this was sarcasm and would go "WAIT SPIDERMAN'S REAL THAT'S SO COOL"
For Real? 😂😂😂
Because sarcasm isn’t for everyone, the use of it can lead to mental health issues like rocky relationship dynamics, sabotaging any potential for emotional intimacy and embedding communication breakdowns.
Think of Chandler from Friends. Yeah, that level of dysfunctional.

It goes without saying that if sarcasm is becoming a problem, you should either tone it down, or stop using it altogether. Honestly, why would you, it’s amazing, but [sigh] it’s for the greater good.
Turn those sarcastic remarks to honest, respectful, and clear communication without it being at someone else’s expense. Folks would also trust you more.

It also helps to reflect upon your behavior. Ponder why you use sarcasm in the first place and tackle that.
Do you feel angry? Do you feel insecure? Do you feel vulnerable? Work on those issues and find healthier ways to communicate past that.

Another aspect to focus on is practicing empathy. Empathy is essentially putting yourself in other people’s shoes. By doing so, you will understand how hurtful some of the things you say might be.
Oddly enough, folks with higher levels of empathy are better equipped to identify sarcasm and get on the same level, again showing that sarcasm isn’t for everyone, so don’t force it on everyone.

Had a cop say something like this when my car completely died at a stop sign. I just stared at him til he said something else. He was serious too.

It is a bridge over a bike path, no cars allowed
Load More Replies...That's a very low bridge! The ceiling in my apartment is 2.35m and I can touch that without standing on tiptoes!
Oh, well carry on then, by all means. You should hang a "Wide Load" sign on your rear doors, though
Anybody remember Al Jaffee's Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions in MAD?
Quite possibly. This is the Netherlands (specifically amsterdam according to another comment) we have police on bikes here. No idea if it is common or uncommon for other countries. And yes they have cars aswell, and motorcycles and horses.
Load More Replies...This takes Storrowing to a new low. You can barely fit that bicycle under that bridge.
In turn, it helps to know your audience and understand where sarcasm is appropriate. But besides individual people, there’s also a whole cultural aspect to consider as some cultures are more accepting of it while others not so much.
Let alone, not every culture uses sarcasm in the same way and there can also be differences seen in terms of gender and social status.

I'd have diarrhea too if I had to eat the artificial c**p humans feed to their dogs.
Or, screw that, sarcasm’s good for the soul and good for your brain.
If you can identify sarcasm in action, that is a key indicator that your brain is in good standing. And besides that, you can use it to filter out people in your life—people you might not want to be in your life, that is. Or, the other way around, folks who know you might interpret your sarcasm as a way to laugh it off and de-escalate a conflict.

But if you don’t feel like it, then here’s the door, bye.
