    I included the “/s” to attempt to make clear I was being mildly sarcastic. If you’re unfamiliar, it’s supposed to be a reference to old HTML coding, and a slash would denote the end of a programming statement. “/s” has been shorthand for a long time for “this is the end of a sarcastic statement.” Hope that helps make it make more sense!

      Yeah, I got that. The mild sarcasm part. As in “I still half believe this statement but I’m saying it with a silly face for plausible deniability” sarcasm that people typically employ when it comes to topics like these

      Ultimately doesn’t matter but the snarky response is unwarranted
