      I mean it was pretty obvious and funny. I’m explaining because I thought you didn’t get it, which is ok because there’re always new people and new things.

        I got it immediately, and then the millisecond after that it was like wait a minute, what kind of teacher expects the class to know everything while learning, and then this erosion of explaining/defending away the joke. That ruined it. 😆

          Yeah. But it’s a joke. If we think about the actual implications many of them are not fun, or downright horrifying.

          In real life too, someone says something we laugh and we move on. Unless it’s really good, or really offensive. If we start analyzing every joke it’s not gonna be fun. 😅

            Some jokes make such little sense that they are not funny at all though. I would say this one straddles the line between funny and not funny, leaning towards not funny. And that’s a highly personal and subjective opinion, of course, as is the case with humor. 😊
