    “/s” isn’t 4chan slang, it’s generic forum slang that existed before 4chan. It’s a shortened version of XML-style closing tag.

        This is hilarious. I’m picturing some old person just sitting behind their screen screaming. A real old man yells at clouds vibes.

          Old people actually know what /s means. I’m pretty certain this is somebody who’s probably brand new to the internet and slightly new to the world.

        Well, first of all, it’s old people slang at this point.

        And second, I don’t understand your outburst. You’re free to start a serious thread about criticizing Russia’s rhetoric, right next to the sarcastic thread that is criticizing Russia’s rhetoric.
