Actually commas are specifically to be read as a pause. One that I did want to be read in there.
It may have been silly but, that is how I said it aloud, and how I wanted it to be read. While it may have been extra, that is what I was going for.
Your lack of commas in the first sentence above implies that “actually commas” are a kind of comma. A comma of the actually variety.
The third sentence just needs the comma moved in front of the word, “but,” unless you are saying the title was, “silly but,” which isn’t a kind of silly (though my kids used to get, “silly butt,” when they were tired). Your final sentence above is spot-on, but not just, “because you pause.” You pause because of the independent clauses. “It may have been extra,” and, “That is what I was going for,” are independent clauses that could stand on their own as separate sentences, so you join them with a comma and add, “while.”
The main thing with your title is that the pause doesn’t belong there, even if you think you should say it aloud that way. Just because Sir David Attenborough might say it that way doesn’t mean you write it that way.
I’ll fix the quoted comment for you:

You are one of the only people to give me a link and resource to actually use. I am not against learning something but I dont give a fuck about upvotes.
I can’t control the reaction but I can hate that most people didnt actually interact with more than looking for a feeling of superiority. If that’s the only emotion they want then I dont want to participate.
Fun thread.

You’re saying it out loud incorrectly.

Is it fun though?
Mostly, its just reminding me why no one should be on Lemmy, except for those quarantined here.
Oh, come on! You learned something, and you still got your upvotes!
