This was funnier then the post tbh
Why ask? Explaining a joke is a lot like dissecting a frog. Maybe you learned something, but nobody's laughing.
I heard the saying as "you understand it better, but it dies in the process"
That's how I heard it too, but I go out of my way not to repeat myself. Repeating anything just feels like touching someone else's used... Skeet blanket
I disagree, I sometimes do laugh at explained jokes, if the reason is something I can understand but didn't connect the dots on rather than an in-joke that I don't have the context for.
Alright. I've never seen it happen though.
Unless something is REALLY funny or unexpected, i personally don't really laugh anyway. Especially with a meme or online post, my brain just kinda goes 'ah thats funny'. This can happen just as easily after a joke has been explained, or if i have to look something up for context. Once i have the context my brain still goes 'ah thats funny' and now ive stimulated my curiousity AND my humor.
You know what would have been really unexpected, is if I went on Lemmy and said "explaining jokes is boring and lame" and multiple people didn't run up and write paragraphs at me.
And look, I'm not saying we're all autistic here, but we have a brand. I know it wasn't going to be a great chat, but maybe don't ask strangers to patronise and respect you.
I like learning things. Especially if I don't have to dirty myself with becoming involved in a youtube person's community.
If anybody would like to tell me the funny story but doesn't want to kill the joke, spoiler tags are an effective option ¯\(ツ)/¯
Fuck you, I'm curious, and everyone already laughed. Just tell us!
