We have the nearly useless exclamation point.
But what we really need is a sarcasm punctuation.
So when we write something in deadpan and want it taken as funny we can stop the folks with no sense of humor from freaking out.
Maybe some sort of glyph of Sc or H for humor or sarcasm
Anyway it is a problem. mainly for folks who cannot figure out when something is supposed to be funny.
Also I would say some folks make it way too hard to figure out it is supposed to be 'funny' (including me.)

So true, Elizabeth! We DO need a sarcasm mark! I used my normal Haha but I think some thought I was laughing at them. I was not laughing at anyone, I was just pointing out how perhaps we lose perspective sometimes on the big picture. I was in a particularly "sober" or realistic mood at the time. For a moment I had forgotten that the name of this forum contains the word "Asylum" in it! "S" (the S symbol is for sarcasm)! : )
And don't forget "T" for Troll.
like mine, the seriousness of something like audio cables on this site is fascinating. Some of the posts read like finding the right cables is a medical miracle. The right cables have value in an audio system but, as some kind of 'cure', sigh.
"It's all fun and games until someone doesn't pick up on the sarcasm"
