      It would make for a pretty cool setting for a story though. Set in the near future, first crewed missions to Venus find petroglyphs recording the last days of their ancestors

      It’s not sarcasm though.

          It is by definition not sarcasm. So it doesn’t need a /s

          Sarcasm usually involves saying the opposite of what you really mean. But it’s hard to infer from text so you add the /s so people don’t downvote because they think you are serious.

          I.e. the OC is soo sarcastic /s or Trump is a once in a generation genius!! /s

            I don’t think you’ve quite understood ‘/s’. The author was not serious with his post and indicated this fact with ‘/s’. By definition it is sarcasm as that’s what the author defined it as.

              the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.

              No.
