when a neurotypical makes a questionable post and they slap a “/j” below the post depending on whether the tl gets mad at them or not.
Not to be mistaken for "forgetting to add a tone indicator", a schrödinger's /j can only be considered a schrödinger's /j if either the "joke" is SUPER unclear and it therefore causes a negative reaction or there was no visible punchline and people get mad thinking the post was genuinely serious.

"oomf just said something super ableist and when they got called out they defended themselves by saying they forgot to add /j to their post." "what the hell? that has to be a schrödinger's /j; literally where was the punchline??"
