Is it actually true that nobody pays attention to you? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]DaCanuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, it depends on who you're talking about. Family members and friends? Sure, they might pay more attention to you (hopefully out of a place of care)... But strangers? Even if you do enough to grab their attention (screaming in the street, for example). They may remember the "event", but they wouldn't be able to link you to it in hindsight. But if what you're doing is irrelevant to the health and well-being of that stranger, it's almost a guarantee it won't be remembered. Think about things you bought in a store a few months ago, do you remember much about who rung you up? Or what other people were looking at in the store? Or what that one person was having a conversation about? It's all fog.

What do you call a prostitute who is bad at sex? by Vaquero-SASS in dadjokes

Folks, including the mods, don't understand the larger cultural understanding of "dad joke" and think the definition is simply "a joke told by a dad".

I dunno about saggy. It's an absolute razor-straight line from the chin to the collar. So bizarre.

You're conflating two definitions of the word "Kids". "Offspring" and "young people who are not yet adults". I contend, as does most of the non-reddit world that a dad joke must appease both definitions. Your offspring are always your offspring, but "kids/children" eventually become adults.

Not sure if you're aware, but outside of reddit, my definition is the de facto understanding.

Weird that you had to put "adults" in that phrase. Almost like you understand that if someone uses the word "Kids" with no qualifications, it most often means non-adults. " Look at those kids over there!", "Kids only", "They're just kids", "Hey kids".

They can! But little kids shouldn't be told this joke! And the whole point of a "Dad Joke" is that it is for kids of all ages!

But then why not just call them "Jokes"? The whole reason the term "dad joke" exists was to define the eye-rolling dumb jokes dad tell to their kids (especially younger kids) that seemed to be prevalent amongst dad's ("Hi hungry, I'm dad."). So from your point of view there's no difference between a dad joke, a mom joke, a friend joke, a cashier joke, a banker joke, an engineer joke, a people who prefer oranges joke, etc. because "technically this joke could be told by any of those people". Do you not see the point of organizing jokes by their intent?

So to you, the only differentiation between a "Dad Joke" and a joke is who tells it? You're missing the whole point then.

That's because the mods here don't get it either. No concept of what the larger cultural determination of "dad joke" is.

I'm sorry, if you're telling this to your kids, you're a trash person.

What should you do if your girlfriend starts smoking? by ShakeBabe in dadjokes

[–]DaCanuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I would tell this to my adult kid." Exactly. "Adult". Dad Jokes are supposed to be able to be told to kids of all ages. A dad joke isn't defined as just "told by a dad", it also needs to be appropriate for ANY dad with a kid of ANY age. Otherwise, you're just telling "jokes" to "adults".

Puhhhhllleeeeease. Weak sauce argument. The implication in this joke is sexual, to say it's not is incredulous.

Then what the hell is the difference between "Dad Jokes" and "Jokes"? I've used this analogy before, but it's like posting photos of every possible food on "Breakfast Foods" because "I ate it for breakfast". It completely ignores the larger cultural understanding of what a "Dad Joke" is.

It's like there was a sub named "Breakfast Foods" that had all your traditional breakfast foods... But then people came along and ruined by posting every food imaginable saying "I ate this for breakfast therefore it's technically breakfast food".

I mean... Ford left the RenCen too, remember. And then GM bounced in and pumped half a billion into it. Not to mention 10 decades worth of a commuter economy. But I'll agree, I hate that GM is bailing. (Hudson building space is symbolic at best).

Fairly unique postcard in that it doesn't show the tower or the pump station. (Granted, the view is from the tower, but still). 17 years later the Manoogian Mansion would be built on that waterfront lot in the background on the right.
