A truly amazing sight: An average Lemmy user discovers that they can't tell when someone on Twitter is making an obvious joke

Its just a bad joke since HP is not set in america so the joke doesnt even make sense

[–] poppy@lemm.ee 0 points 7 months ago

That’s what makes it funnier, at least to me. 🤷‍♀️

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think that's part of the joke

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The joke would only hit with Americans because of it.

It's two jokes. The one abut not knowing about current events of the time and the one about making the first joke in a silly way. Could've made it clearer with using a sillier example.

Or they're just oblivious. But I think it was intentional.

I guess an average Lemmy user can't tell when someone on Lemmy is making an obvious joke either

Too many of them are not joking though
