Reddit was really bad with detecting sarcasm/parody/comedy, but Lemmy is on a whole new level of missing the joke.
I've seen multiple communities where people not only miss the obvious joke, but they get angry at how there's no joke. It's truly something to behold.
Maybe because there's no joke.
It's satire
"The joke is I can't afford this house"
Marvelous
No, the punchline is "I can't afford this house." It's humorous because the preceding story seems to build up to some anecdote about how having some money right now is less important than having more money later, or some other overdone trite non-observation, but it ends with the orator subverting your expectation that he can easily afford the house by admitting that not only can he not afford it, he in fact has no money and must find a way to make the entire $15,000,000 within one year.
Like all jokes, it's not funny if you don't get it, and if you only get it after someone explains it to you, it still won't be funny.
Some jokes are dumb.
It's the same fucking people, you dolt. Learn how numbers work.
Ok so how does 4 work exactly? Do you have to hold onto it until it's fully charged or is it more like Bop Itβ’ where you quickly have to perform various motions on the fly?
