Satire: Thinking satire is real is called Poe's Law. The Legal Eagle talks about the Onion's first amicus briefing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxTWonQvXkw "Birds aren't real": As every kid who shot a bird with a BB gun and damn near every cat owner knows, birds are real.

2022-11-09 18:35:07 +0000 UTCGreat timing in talking about how the lines between perception of reality, trolling, and satire are getting awfully smudged. Literally a couple days ago, my friend was telling me about a date he went on. According to him… His date seems nice, they’re having a decent time, and then this woman starts talking about how birds aren’t real. My friend thinks “Similar sense of humor, appreciation for satire, this is cool.” After a little while he was like “OMFG, this chick is serious! Ok. Time to go.” When he conveyed the story to me, I told him I would be laughing if it didn’t have the stronger effect of making me want to weep for us all.
