I'm pretty sure you can still fly a plane even in black and white. WW2 pilots did. /s

I’ve seen ww2 videos. Everything was in black and white anyways..

Color was invented by the tumblr gay agenda in 2013

Wiley Post flew with one eye, even.

Though, he did die in a plane crash in a plane he was piloting, taking Will Rogers out with him.

Good thing you told us you were being sarcastic

You might hate the /s, but it's really easy for peolple to miss the sarcasm (no matter how obvious it is!) when everything is in text.

But but...that's half the fun. Someone starts raging and every onlooker can clearly see they didn't catch the sarcasm.

Maybe...

It gets less funny if 80% of the comments are missing the sarcasm/joke though. It can happen even when the sarcastic remark is obvious (usually because the first reply took it seriously, which set the trend for the subsequent discussions)

That's why I put a /joke or /s mark preemptively in my comments.

Somehow, this is Tiktok's fault.
