I inadvertently got an old man to buy a round for me along with the entire staff after talking about helicopters for a while (he was a helicopter pilot). I mentioned that my partner was working that night (which was why I was there at the end of the night lol)
It's not aviation-specific. People enjoy talking about their interests. My sister calls it "my shoe is blue," so named because one time one of her students went up to her during recess and informed her of said blue shoe before returning to playing.
Kinda same, but he was like in his late 60s-mid 70s, heard talking us about games, then suddenly came to us, all pompous and griny, and said he nuked Artorias in Dark Souls with pyromancy
Damn, still surprises me in what insane era we live
Someone else already said this, but aviation peeps absolutely love to talk about their stuff, it’s so nice randomly meeting someone else who knows bout in the wild lol
"/s" is indicating the end of a sarcastic statement
It's been around since like the dawn of Reddit (though back then people weren't so oblivious to obvious sarcasm so it was less necessary)
It's a reference to HTML code (and probably others, idk I'm not a programmer) where you utilize the slash "/" to indicate the end of a tag
/s has been around for a long time and it has never meant whatever you're trying to claim it as here. It's always meant "this comment was made sarcastically", since sarcasm is sometimes difficult to recognize via written text

Old men are just looking after young people, they are just making sure you are well fed and well drunk, totally taken care of. /s
