    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe’s_law

    Poe’s law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.

    So which is it, @[email protected]: parody, sincerity, or “ha ha only serious”?
