      As an ex-young person and a non native english speaker, definitely agree. Back when I was younger and on Reddit I have missed satire on many different jokes cause the intentions of commenters would be hard to deduce.

      Thankfully I wasn’t stupid enough to do something like put out an electric fire with water, but there has most definitely been a case of someone killing themselves because they couldn’t tell whether a comment was a joke or not.
