Bad puns and one big 360° eye roll are signs you’ve encountered a dad joke. It can happen anywhere—a Thanksgiving dinner, your graduation, a 5-minute phone call to your mom (dad picking up the phone every time is one of the greatest unexplained mysteries), or during a drive to the supermarket. But the point is, unlike our dads, they never get old.

Dad jokes are now kind of a humor genre with a life of its own. They’re usually blunt, painfully (un)funny, and often cringe-inducing. So it’s totally fine if you don’t get one. I don’t get one either.
Surprisingly, they’re not a new thing, although their absurdity level definitely speaks to the 21st-century millennial generation. However, the term “dad joke” first emerged in 1987 when Jim Kalbaugh, a columnist with the Gettysburg Times, wrote: “As we approach Father’s Day, I would like to propose that ‘Dad’ Jokes not be banned. They should be revered, preserved.”

man, at this point, pouring the milk first would be a better president u_u
I can think of a number of THINGS that would make a better president....
Even at this point in time, Steve Jobs would still make a better president...
The apple doesn't fall far from the orange tree in that case. Sliced in half, Jobs is still an Apple. What you get when slicing the orange that was never an orange in half can never be either one. So just what lurks within is anybodies guess.

At the same time, there’s something about them that kinda works. You see, dad jokes are usually as neutral as they can be, since there is no social commentary, no political material, and no agenda. It doesn’t require great skill in catching a joke, doesn’t provoke much thought, and generally doesn’t carry some hidden meta meanings that need to be detected in order to get one.
With so much humor these days leveling on the inappropriate, it’s kinda refreshing to see something adults, kids, and everyone from any social and cultural background can easily relate to. On the other hand, if there’s no sense of transgression, and dad jokes are playing on the safe side, then they sooner or later get repetitive and kind of weary.
I wonder, why should anybody knock on your door at 3 AM while you're playing drums? Stupid people!
Guess she is off to pick up another suspect at the interrogation room.
Half of my friends have already told me this jock since the beginning of pandemic 😉

Usually these are quite funny but some of this lot are really scaping the bottom of the barrel.
This list will be trimmed down to 100 or so. I notice they edit lists because I'll often get a notification about a comment I made only to find the picture I commented on missing. I don't know why they don't simply do a better job editing the lists in the first place, it's annoying when whole conversations are erased.
If you comment on something that is no longer "there" go to the bottom of the page and it says "this post was originally x number of posts and it has been shortened. If you want to see them all, go here."

Most of what I read was funny. Not funny enough to scroll through all 166 of them though. I'll come back for the short version.
If 'bi' is an option as in bisexual, doesn't that imply there really are only 2 sexes?
