It’s no secret that different people prefer different types of comedy. So while some respond better to lighthearted anecdotes or dad jokes, others might prefer dark humor or something borderline offensive.
If you’re a fan of the latter kind, you’re in luck, as today we have a bunch of memes that ought to make you wonder, “Is It Funny Or Offensive?”. Shared by a Facebook page titled exactly that, they have already amassed more than 2.4 M followers. So scroll down to find them on the list below and see for yourself if this type of humor is really something you enjoy.

My little beef with the British museum - it gets the same amount of funding from government as the entirely British 2000 miles of heritage canals. Give the stuff from the stuffy museum back and we would have more money for the lovely canals.

While some people take offense easier than others, it’s safe to assume that most of us know what it feels like to get offended. It can be a direct blow, like an insult, or something more subtle, like a joke; it can even be a misunderstanding, if someone takes your words in a way that wasn’t intended. But no matter the case, it usually leaves a bad taste in the mouth, and rarely makes people’s relationships better.
But if all it brings is unpleasantness, why do people take offense? Well, it’s a complex issue, which often depends on both one person’s intentions, and—arguably more importantly—another person’s perception.

I had a customer at the bar I worked at who crowed constantly (apropos nothing) about being atheist.

Thats the only american who managed to escape a appalling healthcare system. Now he knows what free lifetime health care is.
Talking about taking offense in a piece for Psychology Today, licensed clinical psychologist, Leon F. Seltzer, Ph.D., noted that quite often, people offend others without intention. “These predominately innocent offenders tend either to be insensitive, in that they don't consider their interactional behavior in terms of its psychological effects—that is, as regards its likely impact on another's thoughts and feelings. Or they simply don't know enough about the other person's history to predict what words or actions might disturb them,” he wrote.
The expert continued to point out that it might be difficult not to take things personally if you’re on the receiving end of certain comments or behaviors. But that doesn't mean the other person’s intent was personal.
You have to save their life AND find all 100 hidden tongue depressers before they're discharged from the hospital. D**n completionist achievements.

Load More Replies...There's a big misconception that's been going on about this that's been getting to me. This was not the first "All Female Crew". Valentina Tareshkova did that in 1963 when she went to space solo and spent two days up there in orbit. Also because this was an early Vostok mission, she bailed out of her capsule and parachuted down. The capsule had no parachute. This has been my TED talk.
Oh come on now. It was her first time *and* she went up in a giant phallus.
Katy Perry could have flown first class sucking down nice wine and enjoyed a 14 hour emirates experience. Only a few tens of thousands of metres different. View is the same. She went high altitude. The weightlessness was just the few minutes before dropping like a rock
I don't actually know much about Katy Perry, but I'm pretty sure she earned the money she paid for the trip. I truly don't understand the problem, except for the "what's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine" generation.
It's not about her money and how she earned it. It's the fact that the "space flight" (which it wasn't) was "revolutionary because all the women aboard somehow made it progressive and a positive message for girls. (I could go on about how those women were just passengers, doing nothing to actually promote women in STEM, but I'll skip that.) Perry's dramatic response of kissing the ground after they got back just increased our general derision of the entire episode.
Load More Replies...The reason we might get offended even when that wasn’t the other person’s intent usually lies within us. According to Dr. Seltzer, most of us possess an ego that is more fragile than we typically realize. “So it's likely that your ego may be more vulnerable than you assumed to experiencing another's behavior as hurtful, hostile, or threatening,” he wrote.
“Given the multitude of insecurities we're subject to in growing up, there exist within us parts that—more than we'd like to admit—remain particularly sensitive to (largely presumed) criticism, abuse, or neglect. And with few exceptions, others are even less aware than we are about what, emotionally, we're susceptible to and can't help but (over) react to.”

The fact that taking offence is very much linked with perception becomes even more evident when we delve into the linguistics of it all. Discussing linguistic research on the topic, Lecturer in Forensic Linguistics at the Aston Institute for Forensic Linguistics, Dr. Tahmineh Tayebi, noted that the words we use aren’t offensive or inoffensive in and of themselves. They’re neutral until context is created.
“Even the most offensive words (for example, the notorious F- or C-words) can be generously used among close friends, as in-group solidarity markers, without anyone ever taking it to heart. It is therefore the context that determines the offensiveness of our words,” the lecturer wrote for The Conversation.

Delving deeper into what exactly makes people take offense, Dr. Tayebi explained that it usually entails experiencing negative emotions evoked by a word or an action that is in conflict with our expectations and what we believe to be right, appropriate, moral, or acceptable.
Though, people’s expectations and beliefs can differ quite significantly, so it’s no surprise that their views regarding being offended do, too. Pew Research Center found that more than six-in-ten adults in the US believe that nowadays, “people being too easily offended by things others say” is a major problem in the country. At the same time, nearly half of US adults believe that “people saying things that are very offensive to others” is a major problem as well.

Why do they have separate bank accounts if they’re married..? Genuine question
Why not, they are two separate people. My husband and I have separate bank accounts, we had them before we met, and simply kept them. My parents have a joint account, but they got married in the 1950s and my mother didn't work while my brother and I were in primary school, so it made sense for them. Some couples have separate and joint accounts.

Can be quite confusing when shopping in different parts of Switzerland, or even looking at labels in national chains, which are typically written in two or three languages. Peperoni just means pepper in Italian, but is used for a specific long type, with zero heat, in Switzerland, peperoncino/i , on the other hand, means chilli/s in Italian... And some of these or related terms may be used on French or German as well, but potentially only within Switzerland, so a German shopper may not know them... Anyway, to be safe make sure you test what you think may be chillis, cos thy may not be, and test what are labelled as peppers, cos they may be chillis.

I sometimes feel like I'm sick on week *ends* only. It's not 100% but I think my body detects stress levels and tries to keep things at bay for short periods until it's manageable. Like I *know* this is true to some extent because at University I would be virtually guaranteed to get sick immediately after my last final. These days now it holds off what would be Thursday or Friday migraines until Saturday and Sunday. *sigh*
Well, I'm sorry but you're right 🤷♀️ Stress can weaken your immune system, but also keep you running on heightened adrenaline. Long story short: You catch a virus or other infection earlier, but your organism suppresses/delays the onset until you're "out of danger" aka stress. So when the weekend/vacation days come and you no longer feel the pressure of work, that's when your system relaxes and sickness takes hold. It sucks, but it's true.

Plenty of people - customer service representatives, writers & graphic designers among others - have already lost their jobs, because their employers chose cutting cost over quality of the material/service they offer.
