Lol, building a tree out of cardboard is not irony either.

Sure it is. You build cardboard out of trees. Building a tree out of cardboard could be seen as the opposite of what is expected. Textbook irony.

no clue what you're on about.

if you'd build a tree out of cardboard because you want to grow apples, but instead it grows pictures of apples on paper, THAT would be ironic.

What?! Ok. So you're arguing that irony has to be some fantastic element? Jesus. Yes, a picture growing cardboard tree...I guess...would also be ironic but it can be much simpler than that. I feel like at this point, though, you're just arguing to be correct, not as part of any reasonable conversation. I think you do know what I was talking about. I made a simple, related example of basic irony and we're both correct, although yours is a little weird but that's fine.
