  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Good joke for a christian convention lol.

[–] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 67 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not really a dad joke, but I’m half Greek and I can accurately say that my father is a Lesbian.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

That is actually hilarious

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 101 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Dad jokes don’t care about orientation.

Thanks for indirectly reminding me to crosspost to !dadjokes@lemmy.world 😁

The follow up since OP didn't post it here yet:

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

But I can't find it. And the newest post there is 30 days old. Huh?

[–] OneCardboardBox@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Feddit and dbzer0 have (mutually?) defederated, so you'll only see posts there from your own instance users.

[–] Speiser0@feddit.org 1 points 16 hours ago

(mutually?)

Looks like it's only one way. (You can go to Instances at the footer, and then the blocked tab.)

That doesn't appear to be the case.

This doesn't seem like defederation. Something weird is going on.

edit: Never mind, dbzer0 defederated from feddit 7 months ago. But why are some posts and upvotes getting through?

[–] OneCardboardBox@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 22 hours ago

Defederation is weird and I don't fully understand it. For example, the community will still exist on a server after defederation, and people can still post to it (albeit now there's no moderation, and that's a separate problem). Maybe feddit is pulling in posts from users outside of dbzer0, linking it to the orphaned comm, and populating the posts that way.

[–] Dreamcatcher@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

I just checked another sublemmy from dbzer0 on your instance and almost all posts are missing.

Something is fucked with your instance.

[–] BaroqueInMind@piefed.social 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This joke doesn't work today.

I, and I am sure a majority of people, could not give enough of a fuck if someone was gay to openly ask about their orientation or preferences in a casual setting.

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago

Less of a majority than you and I would like, I'm sure.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Exactly the same if you're wondering if the cashier is pregnant, it's none of your fucking business.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

True, but for the people who need to hear this: you are not a bad person if you think 'I wonder if the cashier is pregnant' you are a rude person if you say it. Thinking bad things isn't bad. Saying or doing bad things is bad.

It's only bad if she's not, because it would make her uncomfortable. Picture a little nice grandma saying it, you know she's just trying to join in the happiness that is becoming a mother, she's trying to congratulate her and wish her well... Having said that, ofc it's better to avoid saying it unless you're basically 120% sure, you don't wanna make people feel self-conscious even by mistake.

[–] MagicPterodactyl@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 day ago

This is adorable honestly

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That punchline took me way too long to wrap my head around. Once I did it's pretty funny though, I loled

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Take all the time you need.
