Venus is so tantalizingly close to being a twin of Earth.

      It would make for a pretty cool setting for a story though. Set in the near future, first crewed missions to Venus find petroglyphs recording the last days of their ancestors

        It’s a surprisingly common scifi trope.

      It’s not sarcasm though.

        Then why the fuck out a /s at the end when it isn’t sarcasm

          It is by definition not sarcasm. So it doesn’t need a /s

          Sarcasm usually involves saying the opposite of what you really mean. But it’s hard to infer from text so you add the /s so people don’t downvote because they think you are serious.

          I.e. the OC is soo sarcastic /s or Trump is a once in a generation genius!! /s

            I don’t think you’ve quite understood ‘/s’. The author was not serious with his post and indicated this fact with ‘/s’. By definition it is sarcasm as that’s what the author defined it as.

              the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.

              No.
