I believe the international standard for sarcasm is : 🙃 Upside-Down Face Emoji[^]
Let's stick to the the standards here. 🙃

Has everyone gone so snow-flaky that to recognise Sarcasm it *needs* to be highlighted with an Icon....?
How long will it take before posts containing Sarcasm have to be marked PG or better still "Caution, contents may contain sarcasm and or nasty comments".... along the lines of the good old Coffee Cups?
FFS, it's about time everybody just grew a pair... (Gender neutral of course, don't want to offend anybody)*...

Like, we need a special sign to indicate a joke, to make sure people laugh when they read it.
The best jokes are those you need to have explained to you ... right?

And I'm just amazed at all the sickening stereotype cards they still sell in 2019 
It's all still blue and pink and the boys are "tough" and the girls are "cute".
I mean, really!? A "tough" infant? What's it going to do, wear a leather jacket and ride a motorcycle? 
You'd expect it to be more gender neutral or at least less stereotyping in 2019...
After some browsing I found one that just said "Hooray, A Son" on the outside and "Congratulations" on the inside (still blue, but the boat with stuffed animals and stars, hearts and butterflies is actually kinda cute).
Not to be politically correct or SJW-safe, less of an issue here, but because I never liked the soft and sweet stereotype birth cards.
My general dislike for babies may have something to do with it as well.
For a minute there I was considering buying a "stay strong" card instead

Ketchup. You get everything down with enough ketchup.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

It's just a color, and don't see the association with thoughness. Good to see that all real problems are gone if we have the time for this kind of nonsense.
Does it really have to be gender-neutral? How about an operation for the baby to remove all evidence of having a gender?

I mean "tough" was a literal word on the card, as in "Congratulations on your tough boy/cute girl!"

I agree, kids are nonsense! Let's fix all of our problems first and then get back to getting kids

That... Sounds pretty neutral to me

You could send a hand-crafted birthday card instead:
Condoleances. And courage for the 18 years to wait for your freedom to come back.
PS: A small amount of gin in the feeding bottle can save you a lot of sleeping time during the first years. And if you mix it with milk, be sure to add a little portion of cream so that the milk does not go bad.

He can still retreat into joy and bliss by giving in to the idiocy malwhare that we all have between our ears for exactly this situation. It's actually there to keep us from strangling the little brat after two weeks. But not only we[^] have that malware.

I need to borrow the baby for a minute when you're done with it. It's for a umm, project I'm working on.
I'll give it back. With most of its soul, even.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

It's not my baby (thank [throws dice for random god from random pantheon] Cyric!) and I'm staying far away from it

well okay. I pay for firstborns though. Keep that in mind - maybe tell your friends.

I've got some kids in the neighborhood that I really want to get rid of... 
So what are you offering? Do you need them alive?
Maybe we should take this to a private chat?
What do you mean you were only joking?

neighborhood kids are easy. i've already got the van for that. newborns are what I'm after.
I mean, I'm kidding.
As far as offers, I grant wishes.

You have a computer, you have a printer, you have access to shops that sell blank card, and I assume you have a graphics app and/or a web browser for downloading royalty-free pictures.
Do people prefer the personal touch, or the knowledge that a parasitic corporation has been fed?
OK, let's move on to the next item on the agenda.
