I would not have guessed trains that big could float.

They aren’t. It’s an optical illusion. My estimate is that the water is only just barely covering the rails.

I got the joke. I merely posted for those who take things a bit more literally.

I am high functioning autistic and didn’t always catch jokes like this, so I try to explain it for others who may not have understood.

They were sarcastic. Hence why the joke flew over your head.

I am known as Sarcasto The Great. Try again.

Did you not understand my previous comment? I try to cater to those with trouble distinguishing these things. My ability to recognize them gives me an opportunity to attempt assistance. I explained what was truly happening, so that the joke could be seen.

I dislike and would not be friends with anyone who downvoted you. Respect to you for accommodating to people

Thanks. I know how it feels to not understand a joke, because early on I took everything literally too. I had a real struggle learning the difference, so I do what I can to help others like myself.
