But if you are, this comedy Facebook page titled “Dark Humor” is a real content gem. With more than 1M followers, the page states that “dark humor jokes should only be told among close friends or if you have a good sense of the room.”
But if dark humor jokes make you laugh, you just found a safe space to chuckle without getting any eye-rolls. Scroll down and upvote your favorite posts!

To find out more about what it takes to understand a joke, and what things we find funny tell us about our personalities, Bored Panda reached out to Janet M. Gibson, Ph.D.,the Professor of Psychology at Grinnell College said that it takes a lot of work.
“We have to use cognitive, social, and emotional brain power to form expectations of what was supposed to happen, see how the punchline or unexpected event puts a playful spin on things, figure out the social context to know whether the unexpected event was intended or offensive, and we have to empathize with the joke teller, a character in the joke, or audience to know what is going on,” Prof. Gibson explained.
Moreover, people have to be ready to have fun, whether it is with language, social expectations, or be amused by the absurdities of the situation. “If we are lucky, there are cues to help, like the joke teller is smiling or others are laughing, and then we try to figure out why, search for alternate meanings, and pull from memory what other meanings are possible in this context,” Prof. Gibson told us.

However, if the joke requires too much work to figure it, we are likely to end up feeling puzzled rather than amused or entertained.
This person is an idiot, but I actually do have a friend who's half African American. Except no one believes her because she has red hair and freckles. Genetics are so interesting!
A good deal of research investigates correlations between types of jokes and personality, but Prof.Gibson says that there’s no straightforward answer. “For example, if you like jokes that poke fun at death, this does not mean you have death anxiety or are sick. If you like the Three Stooges, it does mean you are a knucklehead.”
“In fact, people who like sick jokes tend to score high on openness to experience and high on social intelligence,” he argues.

Moreover, “there is a correlation between liking aggressive humor if you have an aggressive personality, but these categories are very general, and, for the most part, many people with diverse personalities like the same kind of humor.”
Most importantly, we tend to like humor that elevates the mood, to help everyone feel good. “Our cultural attitudes play a large role in whether we like jokes with predictable punchlines. Your world views and beliefs help shape whether you like jokes where animals act like humans, for example."

A friend of mine in high school had a bumper sticker on his truck that said PETA - People Eating Tasty Animals. I thought it was a hilarious sticker.
Some preferences for particular jokes may indeed indicate darker personality traits, but Prof. Gibson argues that it depends on the context and why the jokes were being told. “The social situation might drive our amusement more than the joke itself.” Interestingly, “Introverts have a sense of humor, but extroverts show it more, because they are more comfortable sharing humor in front of others.”

Today FB showed me some advertisement about Kardashians. And asked, if I wanted to see more ads like this. And I was like.....why on Earth would I like to see more of it?
Could we also agree that popularity/appearance does not equate to actually acting prowess.
Didn't she try to trademark the name 'Kylie', and a court ruled that she couldn't as Kylie Minogue is a global superstar whereas Wossname Jenner is a b-list reality nobody?
All I can think of is that movie Shallow Hal when he encounters that hideous looking crone and it turns out she was actually very pretty on the outside, but on the inside she was grotesque. This is the Kardashians on the inside. shallow-ha...34be4c.jpg 
Imagine hating your face and body so much you feel the need to change every single feature until there's no evidence of your former self.
Yeah. Imagine how sad, depressing, lonely, and isolating that must feel. Especially when global scrutiny has been thrust upon you from adolescence with no choice in the matter. And then imagine having so many people judge you for doing what you feel you need to do to be able to deal with it.

If that girl can belt part of your world with the musical theater quality needed to play a Disney princess I will eat my hat
Never go with a woman before you see her WITHOUT her makeup. Lip fillers - red flag. Tattoos or lots of piercings - red flag. Divorced - red flag. Lots of jewelry or clothes - red flag. Can't cook - red flag.

This meme has a grain of truth in it. Image shows triple lakes on Huayhuash trail in Coridllera mountains. To get there people usually hike for 8-12 days on a 120km long circle trail.
Yep, but you can even get the thrill of dreaming of getting out this place because you work from home!!
Wait I’ve actually never heard I of these though. They seem pretty chill. Anyone wanna get one with me?
I opened up to my mom about my pyrophobia and how I’m always anxious. Now she brings it up all the time to make fun of me :(
