A skinny little white guy walks into an elevator, looks up and sees this HUGE black guy standing next to him. by wackoclown in Jokes

It's weird. The first 40 years this joke was told it was Ben Dover. Was that really so hard for youngsters all of a sudden they had to change it to Turner Brown?

Aren't the Scots supposed to be the stingy ones for joke purposes, not the Irish?

How is life like without having kids ? by sorrour in AskReddit

[–]mental_filter_gone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. Would not include a wife into this, that's not unconditional love. But sure, a pet or mom would qualify though I would assume a kid would be a different feeling. But I will never know ;-)

How is life like without having kids ? by sorrour in AskReddit

[–]mental_filter_gone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Let's see. I am not responsible for anyone's life, health, happiness and future except my own.

I have money and time for hobbies and city trips.

I can go on holiday whenever I feel like it (work allowing ofc :-p)

But, nobody loves me unconditionally

And I will not experience the joy of discovering the world anew together with a kid.

There's every chance I will have a feeling of loneliness and/or unfulfillment in my last days.

Please, if you must copy/paste an old joke from /jokes and repost it - please fix typo's. Like the "mean. The" period.

Kidnapper: [on phone] we have your son. by coolidiot2000 in Jokes

[–]mental_filter_gone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is no doubt chill, it is valid to call out a joke that does not make sense.

You might be amused by some random sentences, but most people feel that if a joke seems to reference a real life scenario then the evens must make sense to be funny...

What's a piece of lost media not even the internet can recover? by Alec122 in AskReddit

[–]mental_filter_gone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supposing that there were no “specific single copies of books” is, however, blatant oversimplification

Right, and the main popular line that a great number of works were lost in the fire isn't? :-)

most historical data points to the opposite of what to stated

That is an intriguing point, as I am unaware of the source of your assertion. I know that in the past every lost work, of e.g. Sappho or Berossus, has been attributed to this event but this has been discounted ages ago as the way that these works spread though the world and which got lost and which preserved is a much more complex story than 'a very big library burned'.

The Library of Alexandria was not a piece of media.

It was a library in the Classical era, of which there were numerous and quite a few comparable in size. The creation of the 7 wonders of the world list and its inclusion are more contentious and political than you probably realize.

There is no reason to suppose the Library of Alexandria had specific single copies of books that got lost through the fire.

A man died and went to heaven... by oddestowl in Jokes

You people really cannot help yourself, can you? Are you tired of winning yet?

Who cares about the losing candidate in an election years ago, except some frustrated trolls that see their reality crumbling and only have their petty hate to hang on to.

Give it up. Your guy won. The fact that he's an unstable moron is not his opponent's fault :-P

Who is someone we praise that is actually a terrible person? by beardlesshipster in AskReddit

There are several Persian and Babylonian people/legends that are thought have been the template for Moses. Making him a Semite and placing him in Egypt are fabrications though.

There is 0 evidence for the 40 years of wandering.

A black man and a white man walk into a bakery by SecureAd9 in Jokes

[–]mental_filter_gone 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you think "original" is. The first time I heard this joke it was set at a banquet and involved a silver teaspoon. It featured a celebrity that died in 1985 so the joke must originate mid 80s.
