One who makes statements online and decides whether they were being “ironic” or treating it as a normal post depending on others’ reactions. Refer to Shrodingers douchebag.
Group Chat 1: Men are hot
Person 1: So true
Group Chat 2: Are men hot
Person 1: wtf no thats gay
Person 2: Shrodinger’s Irony at work
The irony is, obviously, unintentional. Seldom used in a work of art, often in premonitions that ironically turn right. It is a negative kind of coincidence about which the author has very little knowledge or doesn't have any such intention. For example, the emergency number in the USA is 911 and a critical emergency unintentionally took place on 9/11.
In Dante's art one can find unintentional irony at work that wouldn't have been ironical back then.

Shrigma Males are a subset of Fungal Irony
A prase coined from the 90's pop song, "Ironic", written by Alanis Morissette. Morissettian Irony is when something happens that is merely unfornuate, but expected.
A 98 year old man dying, for instance.

When something is repeatedly ironic to an exaggerated degree, that it's as if you're being hit by the irony again and again. Not actually a physical iron bar.
While we were reading 'Othello', Shakespeare would not quit hitting us over the head with the irony bar!
