When people in all seriousness post complete ignorance on science threads, it’s often impossible to detect sarcastic posts.

It would be sort of like debating Flat Earthers: nigh impossible to tell which ones are trolling you or which ones actually believe it, because part of you is always thinking 'they can't REALLY be that stupid or ignorant, can they?'.

Yeah the flat earthers definitely may have contributed to my inability to detect sarcasm when people post nonsense on science topics.
