You can probably compare sarcasm with another polarizing concept: pineapple on pizza. While both are generally frowned upon, there is also a chunk of people who genuinely appreciate them. 

Since we’re on the topic of snarky, ironic humor, we also have these memes and posts from the “Sarcasm Only” Instagram page. It has 16.5 million followers, and even if you’re not a fan, you will likely see why the account has such a large fan base. 

But as always, we’ve collected some of the best posts, which can hopefully help you get through a dull day. Enjoy!

    Beginning in 2000 I worked in a printing plant with a repair guy who was an absolute p®ick. Long about my 4th week there I was OVER it so I went on a campaign to give him back what he gave me. I got the results I was seeking in about 2 weeks when he asked me "why do you gotta be so hostile all the time?" I told him I'm just giving back what you give me. We became fairly good friends after that.

    People use sarcasm in daily life almost as involuntarily as breathing. Exaggerations aside, think about how often you’ve said “Yeah, right” in jest. According to the Smithsonian Magazine, a database of phone conversations in America revealed that people use the phrase 23 percent of the time. 

    Sarcasm is so prevalent that author and linguist John Haiman describes it as “the primary language” in modern society.

    Idk about that. Most of the ignorant people (usually right-wingers / Trumpists, let's be real) are bitter, hateful, paranoid people who are convinced that every little thing is a personal attack on them.

    It was author Oscar Wilde who once said that “Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence.” Whether or not you wholeheartedly agree with this statement, Harvard Business School professor and behavioral scientist Francesca Gino explains that sarcasm can enhance creativity. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    In her article for Scientific American, Gino stated that understanding a snarky remark requires some unconventional thinking. She wrote, “tone must overcome the contradiction between the literal and actual meanings of the sarcastic expressions.”

    Mental health counselors and relationship experts advise against using sarcasm. Some even describe it as “hostility disguised as humor.” However, it also serves a purpose when navigating the world around us. According to Haiman, it’s a way of commanding respect. 

    “You’re distancing yourself, you’re making yourself superior. If you’re sincere all the time, you seem naive,” he said.

    Other experts even suggest that the inability to detect sarcasm is a disadvantage in today’s society. Neuropsychologist Dr. Katherine Rankin says these people aren’t as socially adept and are likely to be noticed immediately.    

    Dr. Rankin and her colleagues at the University of California, San Francisco, also found that being unable to sense a sarcastic quip may also be a sign of frontotemporal dementia. 

    “If someone who has the sensitivity loses it, that’s a bad sign,” she stated, adding that the loss of this ability could be an early warning sign for diagnosis.

Turns out my nephew somehow got old bay seasoning on hid hands, in his eyes and mouth. Long story to say sometimes kids have it rough.

    Understanding and communicating with sarcasm does have its upsides. That begs the important question: How can you use it without ruining relationships? Gino says it comes down to trust and delivery. 

    “Your best bet is to keep salty remarks limited to conversations with those you know well, lest you offend others, even as you potentially help them think more creatively,” she wrote.

    I love driving. I love my car (just an honest minivan, nothing anyone would consider exciting). I take really good care of it. Every time someone needs to fetch things, or needs a ride, or anything normal people would find a chore, I jump to the opportunity. Yes, I love to help my friends and I remember the difference it made when people offered me rides when I was broke, but the thing is... One way or the other I'll get some time just driving, me and my car.i might even crack the window open and turn off the music just to hear the engine. I love it, never cease to amaze me how one and a half tons of steel, glass, plastic and other things can operate in such harmony, and give us so much freedom to move around.
