CHATBOT: Irony Poisoning (noun): A grave psychological condition afflicting modern internet users, particularly those who frequent social media platforms, online forums, and comment sections. Symptoms include an inability to communicate without the use of sarcasm, the reflexive need to undercut every serious moment with a meme, and an existential crisis when faced with genuine emotion or sincerity. Irony Poisoning is contracted through excessive exposure to online communities where the currency of choice is sarcastic quips, parodies, and satire. Once infected, the patient finds themselves trapped in an echo chamber of snark, where the line between genuine sentiment and sardonic mimicry becomes perilously thin. Over time, the afflicted may lose the ability to process plain language without searching for a hidden layer of mockery, leading to awkward social interactions and the chronic misunderstanding of straightforward text messages. The irony-poisoned individual may struggle to distinguish between fact and facetiousness, to the point where their own words become a convoluted maze of metacommentary--they are never sure if they are joking, and neither is anyone else. The advanced stages of Irony Poisoning have been linked to chronic eye-rolling, perpetual air quotes, and debates on whether the term "literally" can ever be used literally again. There is no known cure for Irony Poisoning, but temporary relief may be found through activities like watching heartfelt Pixar movies without tweeting about them, engaging in earnest conversations with toddlers, or spending a weekend in a forest with no cell service, forcing one to confront the horrifying prospect of unmediated reality. However, relapse rates are high, and many return to their ironized lives, perpetuating the cycle of sarcastic detachment and making it increasingly difficult to determine whether this definition itself is serious or another symptom of the disease.
