Maybe they are mixing him up with Jimmy Fallon? Kimmel is perfectly watchable based on the few times I saw him. Can’t stand fake Fallon though.

I only know the House M.D. intro song, but I do like it. Mezzanine, I think?

The one who’s hard to understand is you, with your complete lack of punctuation. “/s” is extremely common and pretty much everybody understands what it means. If you didn’t know until now, no biggie, now you do and all is well.

And to answer your question, if a comment or a paragraph ends with an “/s”, then you can be sure the author was being sarcastic in that comment/paragraph.
If there’s no indicator, it could still be sarcastic or it could be serious, use your own judgement.

So no, not everything should be taken as sarcasm.

Well, first of all, it’s old people slang at this point.

And second, I don’t understand your outburst. You’re free to start a serious thread about criticizing Russia’s rhetoric, right next to the sarcastic thread that is criticizing Russia’s rhetoric.

“/s” isn’t 4chan slang, it’s generic forum slang that existed before 4chan. It’s a shortened version of XML-style closing tag.

I’m pretty sure most regular users will not even notice the charge, and find it useful down the line. Cause one day they will mess something up, complain to MS that they “lost their work”, will be pointed to the cloud where everything was synced, and rejoice. Most users don’t really care about the implications that their documents are in the cloud.

Yeah-yeah-yeah. What about the economy though?!

I’m aware of slash commands. If it’s a /sarcasm command, why would it be at the end of the statement?
What’s your source for this? I’m pretty sure “/s” means “end of sarcasm”, borrowed from XML/HTML.

Just fyi, the slash in /s or /sarcasm isn’t some weird bracket, it’s meant as an XML style closing tag, meaning “end of sarcasm”. In full it would look as follows:

<sarcasm>Things are going great!</sarcasm>

But people drop the opening tag and the <> for convenience.
