Lazy People

Given the choice I prefer working with lazy people over working with stupid people. In a pinch lazy and smart gets the job done with minimal effort. Busy and stupid works a lot but to no avail.

This compilation might not teach you much if you’re here for genuinely useful facts. but if you appreciate dry, cheeky, sarcastic humor? You’re in the right place. Because sarcasm is honestly a fine art, one that requires real skill and wit to pull off well.
Sarcasm has quite the history too. The word comes from the Greek sarkazein, meaning “to tear flesh like a dog.” Over time, it evolved to mean “to bite one’s lips in rage,” “to gnash one’s teeth,” “to sneer,” and “to speak bitterly.”
The first known use of “sarcasm” in its modern sense—”a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain”—dates back to 1619, several centuries ago.

Here’s the thing about sarcasm, though: it’s probably one of the least universal forms of humor out there. Not everyone gets it, and misunderstandings are common.
Entire cultures have been called out for not responding well to it—the Japanese, for example. But in reality, it’s not that Japanese people don’t use sarcasm; they just use it differently.

So True

I was about to write "they definitely walked out during Melania" and then I remembered that nobody even went to see Melania in the first place.
According to Metropolis, Japan’s leading English magazine, the Japanese language absolutely has sarcasm, it’s just used differently.
The term 皮肉 (hiniku) captures this, referring to moments where what you say contradicts what you actually mean. But unlike casual English sarcasm, it often shows up when things get tense—think criticism or confrontation rather than everyday banter.

That doesn’t mean it’s always cutting. Researchers like Kumiko Torikai and Hiroshi Tanaka point out that Japanese speakers regularly use indirect or ironic phrasing to gently tease friends or make social observations.
The real difference is in delivery: English sarcasm tends to be direct and obvious, while Japanese sarcasm works through subtle shifts in tone, specific language particles, or overly formal keigo (honorific speech).

He Sure Appears In That Many Scenes
In some cultures, sarcasm isn’t just expressed through words but through punctuation.
In certain Ethiopic languages, for example, sarcasm and unreal phrases are marked at the end of a sentence with a character called temherte slaq, which looks like an inverted exclamation point ¡.
In 1668, John Wilkins proposed using the same symbol as an irony mark in English, but clearly, that never caught on.

This Is Truly Breathtaking
Misunderstanding sarcasm also isn’t entirely cultural. It can even be biological.
Different parts of the brain must work together to comprehend sarcasm, and this skill can be lacking in people with certain forms of brain damage, dementia, and sometimes autism. MRI studies have located this perception in the right parahippocampal gyrus.
Don’t underestimate how much of a talent sarcasm actually is. It is even argued to be more sophisticated than lying, which develops as early as age three, while sarcastic expressions emerge much later.

So if you’re a sarcasm enthusiast, know that it’s way deeper and more meaningful than it might seem.
It’s an interesting cognitive ability that involves multiple parts of your brain working together. It varies across cultures and requires real social awareness to master. Hopefully, these posts gave you a chance to appreciate it in action.

Reminds me of this conversation with a girl at work a while back - told her I could say "hello in 113 different languages". When she asks me to do it I repeated the words, and then I just stood there grinning at her - she gave me a confused look for a second before telling me to go away.

Fun fact: Dutch people on average became taller and taller, until a little while ago. People who were born around 1980 are the tallest generation, people born in 2001 are 1-1.4cm shorter than that generation. According to the official numbers: men born in 1930 were 175.6cm, men from 1980 were 183.9cm. Women from those generations went from 165.4cm to 170.7cm.
