Should we do this as a multiple choice or are you good to have a stab?
I'll take a stab please.
Quote:Communicating would be a lot easier if everyone just said what he or she meant. But they do not; sometimes people are sarcastic and actually say the opposite of what they mean. Why do people do this? How do we learn to understand sarcasm? What happens in our brains when we are processing sarcasm? These are the questions addressed in scientific research on sarcasm. Here, I explain some of what we have learned from research on these questions. Understanding sarcasm is a challenge for young children, for individuals with autism spectrum disorders, and for some patients with brain damage. Understanding sarcasm depends on advanced language skills and reasoning about other people’s minds, and it is supported by a network of brain regions.
My stab would be you suffer from brain damage.
I see. We'll put it another way: do you agree with the views expressed in the statement?
Do you think Putin's savvy for invading Ukraine?
A simple yes or no will suffice.
Yeah/nah Quote:Most adults hear sarcastic speech every day and understand it without much difficulty. To understand sarcasm, they rely on the speaker’s tone of voice, facial expression, and their knowledge of what the speaker is referring to and how the speaker might feel about it. However, some people struggle to understand sarcasm and tend to think the speaker literally means what he or she has said. The literal meaning is the actual, dictionary meaning of the words used. If you do not understand the sarcasm in what a person says, you miss the joke and may feel left out of the conversation. This can lead to some difficult social situations.

You've got to admit, JaSin, even for a devout cultist, it can be a bit hard to tell, no?
