I tried it a few times recently when I’ve been down in the trenches of shitposting and it is very funny to make them try to explain their argument to you as if you have no idea what they’re saying. It’s so easy to bait them into thinking they’re about to bring up this amazing dunk about how China banned Winnie the Pooh or whatever and win you over, and then you get to just tell them that’s not true because you just looked it up plus now it feels racist.
It took me well into adulthood to realize that I was indeed making people laugh by being literally autistic and doing this exact thing by accident.
Coworker apparently obviously complaining that the weather outside is unpleasant to him: “Good god sure is some great weather we are having, huh?”
Me (autistic), who is enjoying the weather: “Yeah it’s beautiful out today. I might eat my lunch outside!” :)
Coworker: “HA that’s great! Me too! I’ll see you out there.”
Me: “Oh nice! Alright see you later!”
