Well, I think it's definitely not satire. Satire generally has <article>an</article> "intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement." (source: Wikipedia). In other words satire has <article>a</article> target; it's making fun of someone or something, often with <article>the</article> goal of change. I definitely wasn't trying to mock anyone, affect change, or do anything ill-natured.
So I guess it might be one of <article>the</article> other options? :)
I made a dumb joke. It wasn't sarcasm, satire, snark, or any sort of point. It was a bit of wordplay. That's all. People liked it, and it got a few upvotes.
Someone asked a question, and I posted a response. Then everything got downvotes, so perhaps the response was no longer funny. I probably took it to far. So now I'm posting a clarification.
The article tag refers to the other definition of article -- "magazine article", not "article of speech".
