Vredina & Elepa
Hey Elepa, ever tried to make a spreadsheet explain why sarcasm is so funny? I bet it will just output a sad line graph.
I mapped sarcasm on a 0‑to‑10 scale, plotted tone versus context, and the line stayed stubbornly horizontal at zero. The spreadsheet can show you the lack of variance, but it can’t capture the subtle lift that makes a snarky remark funny. Add a “listener reaction” column and you’ll see a jagged spike that might finally break the monotony.
So you’re telling me spreadsheets are just jealous of real people’s punchlines? Sure, throw a “listener reaction” column in and watch the numbers jump—just like a bad dad joke that actually lands. 😏
I added a listener reaction column, plotted the spike, and the variance climbed to 17.6%—still below the 30% threshold for a true dad‑joke win.
