I find a lot of bits exhausting unless they're clearly labeled even if that doesn't make me as irony-poisoned-cool as some internet people would otherwise demand of me.
I think what exhausts me is when I ask "is this a bit" and I either get mocked for asking, it's assumed I'm asking in bad faith or I get a bit answer.
When one posts "I unironically think we should actually just kill every single english person" and I then ask "are you doing a bit? Sometimes people use unironically ironically" and they then answer "no, not a bit" but it is a bit, I get fucking exhausted.
Some of my least favorite experiences in internet conversation that didn't involve outright stalking or other exceptionally fucked up shit involved "you didn't get my very le clever very le ironic joke, you are stupid and bad" victory lapping that goes on for basically forever afterward for that particular irony-poisoned anti-comedian.
