I begin to believe that some people literally do not have senses of humor with which to distinguish impossible statements meant nonseriously from seriously.

I like deadpan humor and often have to clarify that some quip was a pun, a reference or sarcasm, but I don’t blame the listeners whenever they don’t get them.
If I were a self-identified contrarian habitually posting controversial hot takes in flowery prose, I’d hope to be a little less belligerent and defensive if people mistake an ironic joke for a sincere belief.
It sometimes hurts that people believe you’d actually mean the dumb joke you said but you either have to suck it up and take the L or start marking up your irony.
I truly feel like Yud is trying to adopt the style I’ve seen a bunch of extremely out of touch executives use on social media, where they post something deranged then claim it’s a joke when they get called out. of course the “jokes” are indistinguishable from regular posts until they get called out. Yud is very much in phase 1 of being a shitty unfunny pseudo-shitposter; phase 2 is that all of his posts will be in the style of a shitpost (lacking an ending period and followed by way too much boring explanation, in Yud’s case) and Yud will sit back and think he’s a genius as he posts the most inane garbage humanity has ever conceived
oh absolutely, it’s the same level of fucking embarrassing whether he’s legitimately joking and somehow this bad at it or he’s trying to cloak his increasingly inane (from an already extremely inane baseline) takes in a false layer of humor. this is the kind of thing that works to push you further into a cult you’re already in, but outsiders will see Yud posting this shit and reject it outright

I like the way he thinks the lack of punctuation in his “joke” is the tell that it’s a joke.
He’s also apparently never heard the aphorism that if you have to explain the joke, it’s probably not that funny.

Sure, but even giving him the benefit of doubt that this was actually a botched attenpt at a joke, that’s not exactly flattering is it?

Ah yes, my favourite joke structure. All set up with no discernable punchline. Especially if the humour requires forensics.
Sometimes I believe 5 impossible things before breakfast, but they are always serious.
