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.

Someone else said it better but in the US colleges aren't schools but they are sports franchises with education as a side gig.
So I guess if I was 35 years younger, looking for some academia, I would find a school with little to no sports... sigh
Load More Replies... Then they make hundreds of millions off of those athletes, and still raise tuitions yearly🤬
That sports money has to go towards making sure the highest paid public servant in the state is a football or basketball coach.

I wasn't a college athlete but I had a work study job (1 of 3 jobs I worked at the same time to pay for school) in the athletic department and I can say that while student athletes might have their education mostly/all paid for, they're often broke like the rest of us. Except they have practice or training all of the time so there's no time to have a job. They're incredibly exploited by colleges, who, I might add, make millions off their backs and the second they injure themselves permanently, take away their scholarships and toss them out on their a$$ with no support. Just providing some perspective.
Ridiculous. It never ceases to amaze me how much we value 'entertainment' above academia. Paying footballers and actors millions of pounds when a surgeon in the UK can put a donated heart into you, saving your life and earns a fraction of what a film actor gets for learning lines and pretending!!!
Educating idiots with balls. For free. Sounds about right. How about educating the ones with brains for free and charging the ones who want to play all their lives like kids yet are multimillionaires in their twenties?
Just soooooo wrong I feel like all pro athletes should be required to donate to a special fund to support Teachers,Police, and Firemens salaries or bonuses and supplies
Student athletics pays for the student-athletes and many more aspects of the college. If there were no scholarships then not only would most of those students never go to college, but they would need to either reduce other services or charge more for tuition. The money has to come from somewhere.
It is a common misconception that sports fund anything other than the operation of the sport itself. And the sports sure as he11 aren’t paying for anyone who doesn’t play that sport’s education or giving money to anyone outside that department.

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.

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.
