If that's the case, it should have gone into a joke thread.

There should be a law, here, and I'm sure I've said it before, that there should not be allowed, more than a "double-negative", in a post, as they get my head spinning, wildly.

Wait! Negating the "nots", was not that difficult.

Never mind. That makes sense.
Ok. I'm off to take my nap now...

I ain't never not paid attention to no 'double-negative' nonsense before! And I ain't startin' now!

On the other hand, I have met some people who had some incredibly weird (including stupid) ideas.

I guess there is no way to distinguish between the two without more data.
Satire or Real?

You better believe it. It's a bit like Poe's law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law
Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the parodied views.

Signed. I would also like to propose legislation to get rid of Mondays. In doing so, we wouldn't have to go to work after a good weekend.

Also confused by double by double negatives, (Alan Greenspan did a funny extension “ I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant”)POEs law talks about creationism as a good example and below is an illustration of that.Difficult to tell first viewing if they are serious or not.Same with the OP, I think it’s a joke (95% certain) perhaps the editor wasn’t sure?
