    No, no, antisemitism isn’t about hating jews its about hating zionist. The military industrial complex tells me so. /sarcasm/

    Though thats how alot of people treat it…

      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.

        No, the / has nothing to do with xml. It’s a fake IRC command.

        They were all in the style of /commandname.

        You know, people tend to use sarcasm more in chats than in XML documents.

          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.
