  • I will kill Poe's law or die trying. I hate the idea that we share so little context as a culture that every joke needs a signpost. I fight it my way, but the real war will only be won when global society has enough shared culture for us to make each other laugh without honking a bike horn and giving an exaggerated full-body wink.

    Edit: I know I'm being grandiose, you don't gotta point it out

  • You got me there. You have to admit though, that Lemmy is a challenge for people like me.

  • I think I must have seen this meme at least twelve different times over the years and I laugh every time.

  • Comedians have been using the written word for eons. Some jokes don't land when written, and the real solution wasn't invented this decade.

    My personal policy is that if the joke needs a laugh track, a rimshot, or any big sign that says "Joke" being waved, the joke doesn't work.

  • Was it fairly clear I was just being funny? I hoped so, I try not to tell jokes that actually need to be /s tagged.

  • Yeah fuck buying things for life - I am now buying things for death

  • Kids can be maddening. Mine has reflexively started saying the opposite of what they mean when asked a yes or no question.

  • When he dies they're just gonna make him into an LLM. He already ignores all previous instructions so he's laid the groundwork

  • Not if they get me germs first

  • Ah damn it's one of those single-use knives.

  • Better yet, I would like to see the idea of machismo itself get taken down a peg.

  • A little bit of Weegee Mangione

  • Ask A&W

  • Get away from me, satan. No burger tastes as good as being able to see my own junk without a mirror

  • THE RING IS A GIFT TO THE FOES OF DETROIT. YOU HAVE TEN SECONDS TO COMPLY.

  • Cue black and white clips of Yahweh failing at basic tasks

  • That would be a win. I think they're currently angling for more nuclear energy. Because of course.
