When computers were made apparently someone forgot a sarcasm button,and at times that would be the most useful thing.
If you could have a sarcasm symbol what would it be?
I use /??:
The question marks symbolize O RLY? and the : is just :.

My Sarcasm Symbol/Coding Is:

I type normally, so whenever I don't type normally, my friends know I'm being sarcastic.
TiS thred is StooPId.
(Heh, just kidding.)
I don't make any indication that I'm being sarcastic, so people really have to be paying attention.
Sarcasm button. How odd, how about you outsmart the person and make them feel retarded? Beats sarcasm.
Why try to outsmart someone when you can just combine the straw man and reductio ad absurdum fallacies together and still look witty? What's better is that you don't have to prove why your method is better or even provide a method for that matter, all you have to do is tear down someone else's.
Just look at Stephen Colbert.
Ehhh, I dunno if I'll stick around. We'll see.

Reductio ad absurdum is not a fallacy. It is a method of reasoning. It basically works like this: If proposition P implies something absurd, then proposition P is false.
A word of warning on logical fallacies in general is in order, intentionally using them is NOT a good strategy. Especially so for logical fallacies. Logical fallacies are a form of hidden self-contradiction, and logical contradictions are highly contagious. You can use them to (dis)prove any statement (it is a fact of logic that you can prove anything based on contradictory premises.)
Example:
Premises:P implies not P. (contradiction)Suppose Q implies P.Q implies P is equivalent to not P implies not Q.Therefore hypothesis Q implies P must be false.
P implies not P.
Therefore, P implies not Q.
Which is equivalent to Q implies not P.
Contradiction.
This is formally correct logic that proves that, given a contradictory premise, anything can be proven or disproven; replacing Q with not Q does not affect the logic (actually, it only proves a class of possible statements, but you can use similar logic to prove the rest as well, but that's like another screen of text I'm not going to bother typing). This is more dangerous than it may seem. If you dress it up in words instead of formal logic, your fallacious argument can be used by your opposition to pull arguments against your cause out of thin air. And if you try to fight against these arguments, you will unravel your own arguments, making you loose face.
TLDR? Fallacies can backfire in a most horrible fashion. They are not nearly the get out of jail free card they seem.

Hey look, Japan made a movie about me!
It's a crime against the internets to indicate your sarcasm. So I don't.

I know. Only those who can wield sarcasm in written text should. It's not the Internet's fault if you suck at writing. Also, claiming to have been using sarcasm after someone calls you on it without actually indicating it through text should get you insta-banned from the Internet.
Same goes for the people who falsely claim irony. And the people who fail to read obvious hyperbole.

Sometimes it'd be nice if there was a sarcasm button, but when you are insulting someone it is easier (and more fun) to gloss it over and make it sound like you were being sarcastic. They'll be like "that sounded like an insult?" "really? It did? Oops." lol.
Does that in any way make sense? It does in my head, but right now I'm not in the most comprehensive state... >_>
my symbol for sarcasm totally is a deep, dark, mustache-twisting, sniveling spell of laughter after any form of sarcasm i utilize, usually expressed in a textual sense as, "ueheheheheheheehoooohahaaaahhaaaaa-gaahhh!", followed by a tilda.
but the real question now is, was i being sarcastic about being sarcastic when it comes to sarcasm and how i indicate sarcasticness..assuming i was ever being sarcastic about sarcasm?
Ugh. There he goes again with the "sarcasm"... Or is it? I cannot tell! But that may be the whole point. -huffs- Brain is hemmoraging again...
Then it must be the use of illegal substances if not high quantities of alcohol. But even so, at your age alcohol is still illegal. Heh.
I don't have a way of telling anyone. It is up to them to decide if i'm being sarcastic.
I guess it would help those cyber punks who want to be serious all the time. If you cross the line into sarcasm, you can never come back..
A man chooses.
A slave obeys.
Well I never use sarcasm; everything I post is completely my honest opinion.
I don't use one. I like to keep people guessing if what I said was actually sarcasm or one of my real opinions. Sometimes they are my opinions and people take them as jokes and like me for it.
It can be hard to define the difference sometimes, like this;
"Aka Ari Kurosaki changes his avatar more than he changes his underwear".
Was it sarcasm? Or was it truth? ..I'm guessing it is more likely the truth but you can have your own opinions on it.
That which is; is the truth.
There shouldn't be one. If you're smart enough to get sarcasm, you won't need one. If you're not that kind of person then you don't deserve one.
