I believe the comment you're replying to may have been using rhetorical devices that we humans call "humor" and "irony"
Ah, makes sense. Apologies, I'm dumb.
Getting irony or sarcasm over text is hard. I'm autistic and more often than not I simply can't "read" deadpan humor at all, I just take it at face value – much to the hilarity of my friends
This has happened to me countless times.
