On this platform, I get a lot more sincere replies to what I assumed were obvious jokes.

So, for the avoidance of doubt; I know neither magic or dragons are real, I'm not advocating the assassination of any of my friends or co-workers and I don't think I'm a squirrel.

@Wildethingy wat about unicorns ?
@Ciotiog I am also fairly certain I'm not a unicorn, despite the obvious evidence to the contrary.
@Wildethingy You're not??? A squirrel I mean. 😲
@Wildethingy This is exactly what a squirrel would toot, though.
@dannyman rarely does a squirrel toot and I should know.
@Wildethingy Hamster?
@Archie8 those rumours were put about by my ex and are entirely scurrilous.

@Wildethingy

Wilde thingy
You make me feel clingy
You make everything confusing
Wilde thingy

Wilde thingy, I think you're joking
But I wanna know for sure
Please add clarifying language to every joke
I love you

@Gnash_Equilibrium I'll add clarifying language to my serious posts, would be less effort 😝

@Wildethingy

I don't believe your lies, rodent! I know you're plotting a massacre with a squirrel-sized assault rifle!

@DXMacGuffin my and my nut laden, bushy tailed brethren.
@Wildethingy Disappointed now.
@marylaystories I don't think I'm a squirrel, I know I am πŸ˜‰
@Wildethingy Faith restored! πŸ˜ƒ

@Wildethingy

What does it say about me that I scrolled down your posts looking for the one about dragons.

@serenity I'm never serious, even when I'm talking about being serious 😝
@Wildethingy (Tuts...) SO disappointed...
@Wildethingy "neither magic or dragons are real" You'll be telling me Father Christmas is a myth next? :)
@Wildethingy I seriously feel so bad when people give helpful responses/advice to intentionally self-deprecating posts that I carefully crafted to make myself look like a complete idiot.
@Alice it takes a lot of wit and effort to be as much of an idiot as this πŸ˜‰
@Wildethingy When the Great War begins, it behooves us to have squirrels on our side.
@jpthuot03 I'll be there for you πŸΏοΈπŸ˜‰
@Wildethingy now I have the Friends theme song lodged in my ear, so thanks?
@Wildethingy magic and dragons are real by ancient standards of the words. Look I put this beer pot next to that beer pot and one teaches the other to make the same flavor beer? That's legit magic by ancient standards and so what the magi did(magic) were real ancient arts. :Goes outside, sees a lizard, points: dragon
Suspiciously Specific Denial - TV Tropes

Certainly no one is describing Suspiciously Specific Denial here, so that people will understand what the trope is about. And this sure isn't an opening gag to preface it. And this surely isn't an unnecessary prolongation of the gag to make it, …

TV Tropes
@Wildethingy
If it's any consolation, I want you to know that the vast majority of us have never taken you seriously.
@Wildethingy Well where is the fun in that? πŸ˜‰ Love your humor, keep doing your "Thingy".
@Wildethingy
But... You really ARE a squirrel though, right? Right?
@pascaline the evidence is inconclusive 🐿️
@Wildethingy
Which basically means there is no proof whatsoever. I am disturbed now.
@Wildethingy I am not sure that I could conclusively prove that I am not more than merely a shaved bear.
@Wildethingy pity. You were more interesting when I thought you thought you were a squirrel.
@Wildethingy
Dragons aren’t real??? Then what are the Targaryens riding on?
@Wildethingy Disappointed about the squirrel thing. 🐿️

@Wildethingy Not a squirrel, you say?

Well, then I guess I’ll just have to throw these acorns away…
