No joke here. I just think stuff like this is interesting.

    I mean, there is sarcasm and dark humor here in Japan. It doesn’t always work in the same way, however.

      There’s a ton of it. But it takes a long time to learn how exactly to express it well, and some people don’t like it at all.

      So to all the language learners, don’t use sarcasm until years after after you can understand when others are using it.

      Or use it, and have trouble making friends. Either way.

        Definitely. It’s also worth noting that most people here will probably take a learning trying to do sarcasm in the way they might in the US as just making mistakes (or being serious). I would add you probably want to avoid it with people you’re just meeting.
