“ They scored a six! “

You asked what it would be like playing cricket on the moon. Let me guess. With one sixth the gravity hitting sixes would be six times as easy ?

But imagine the wicked spins the bowlers could put on the ball.

“You do know shitbirds here would post that, right?”

Yeah, well you’re certainly right about that. I hereby retract my snarky reply.

“ It wasn’t clear. Tone in text without previous interaction is difficult.”

That’s the problem with text. Two important variables , facial expression and tone (voice) are missing so it can be difficult to convey humor/ sarcasm. I am also not a fan of smilies and the /s tag to convey that because if you have to tell someone something was meant to be sarcastic then the sarcasm is already dead. Just yesterday someone commented to me on YouTube “You can’t be serious !!! “. I wasn’t . But I didn’t say that. His reaction was good enough for me :)

It’s mostly obvious from either level of ridiculousness, or from numerous interactions here. With some people I know that they’re joking, with others you rarely interact with it gets difficult.
The world is so crazy now, it’s hard to decipher satire from reality.
I typically end my smartass posts with ellipsis.

Chandrayaan means “moon vehicle” in Hindi and Sanskrit.

Trivia bit: During the COVID-19 pandemic, officially 4.7 million Indians died. First time I heard.
