To me, dad jokes and uncle jokes are not just different because of themes, but for the “type” of punchline.

If a joke is about sex, but it’s a pun or otherwise groan-inducing, to me it’s still a dad joke.

When the punchline itself becomes “hehe sex”, that’s when it crosses into uncle joke territory.

Florida Cop Empties His Gun, Runs For Cover After Acorn Falls On Car and Mistakes It For Shots Fired

I’m sorry, this is fucked up and I shouldn’t be laughing, but you really can’t make this shit up

What’s more, in his body cam footage you can clearly see the acorn fall into frame and strike the roof of his car. When asked if this was the sound he heard, Hernandez had this to tell investigators:

“I’m not gonna say no, because I mean that’s, but what I, [10 second pause in speaking] what I heard [3 second pause in speaking] sounded almost like [12 second pause in speaking] what I heard sounded what I think would be louder than an acorn hitting the roof of the car, but there’s obviously an acorn hitting the roof of the car.”

Tom Scott’s channel will stop six months from now

Man, I thought he was quitting for something that happened but it’s just a (well deserved) break, good for him.

I hope he takes all the rest he deserves and starts uploading again whenever he feels like it (even switching to an irregular schedule would be fine, most channels that keep a weekly one end up getting stale at some point and the fact he’s been doing it for ten years with this level of quality is amazing)

Google Promises Unlimited Cloud Storage; Then Cancels Plan; Then Tells Journalist His Life’s Work Will Be Deleted Without Enough Time To Transfer The Data

a key Achilles’ heel was its basically non-existent customer service and unwillingness to ever engage constructively with users the company fucks over. At the time, I dubbed it Google’s “big, faceless, white monolith” problem, because that’s how it appears to many customers.

Hey, sounds like pretty much every corporation in 2023!

I hate so fucking much how little customer service companies are allowed to have.

I said what I said.

I’ve literally had a conversation like

“the fediverse is too complex”

“It’s actually pretty simple when you get the hang of it, it took me like 5 minutes to understand it”

“That’s 5 minutes too much, everything is simple once you get the hang of it, actually simple things are intuitive from the start”

As if when you’re born you already have the knowledge required to browse Facebook in your brain. You have to “get the hang” of everything you use, there’s just more complex and less complex stuff (and 5 minutes is very much on the lower end).

As someone with a right-wing father and a left-wing mother: for fuck’s sake date people with your same beliefs. Deep disagreement on something like that is NOT something you can build a trustful relationship upon.

Ted Nugent; another victim of “reader added context” on Twitter.

We’re all talking about how bad of a person he is, but not enough about how stupid he is.

I mean… if I literally wrote a song about wanting to have sex with a 13-year old girl four decades ago you could catch me dead before you see me ever mentioning anything related to minors or pedophilia in the rest of my life. Posting something like this is pretty much asking for people to dig up all the shit you did. Like I never heard about him before this and the first thing I know is that he’s a pedo. Great job I guess?
