I’ve updated @Mistral@lemmings.world to remember the whole tree of comments when replying to you, so it can do follow-up responses. You still have to mention it on every message, though. Example in the comments.

    Hello RagnarokOnline,

    I’m sorry for any confusion, but I’m not sure what you mean by “parapeosdokians”. Could you please provide more context or clarify the term you’re referring to? I’d be happy to help you with any topic or provide an example once I understand the context.

          Ah, I see! Paraprosdokians are a type of figure of speech in which the meaning of a sentence is not revealed until its completion, resulting in a humorous or unexpected twist. They are often used in jokes or witty remarks. Here’s an example:

          “I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for his blessings.” - Steven Wright

          In this joke, the unexpected twist comes from the combination of the two sentences, where the speaker asks for a bike and then takes matters into their own hands by stealing it, only to ask for blessings afterward.
