Say you do not know anything about Christianity without saying you don't know anything about Christianity.
Imagine the b*tch getting booted into Heck after Jesus screams she went against even the basics of his teachings, like CARE FOR EACH OTHER
Load More Replies...Organized religion is dangerous, mixing religion and politics is dangerous, free food and medical care is not dangerous or communist ffs
It's a human right. The fact that these idiots think that being healthy & having food on the table is a privilege that not everyone deserves just proves that they don't know wtf they're talking about. Calling yourself a Christian & using that as a way to justify your uneducated & misinformed political views is a cancer on society. This is why I fully support people having to pass some sort of exam that would test your emotional intelligence, your knowledge of how our political systems work & prove that they can remove their religious beliefs from the equation before they're allowed to vote or go into politics as a career.

Because we click on, and listen to, and comment on their insanity, and so we prepetuate the media getting lunacy on their shows because lunacy increases viewers and therefore revenue.

Also, we should force women to birth unwanted children they can't afford because allowing abortions is communism or something.

While there are certainly plenty of attention-grabbing and viral humorous comments that get a lot of likes and shares, there are also many underrated ones that are just as funny, if not funnier. Whether it's a clever play on words or a witty observation, they can add a much-needed touch of levity to any online discussion. To learn more about humor online, we reached out to Caleb Warren, an Associate Professor of Marketing at the University of Arizona who was kind enough to share his insights.

Humor is a common element of online communication, and we often see people leaving funny comments on various platforms. But what motivates people to use humor in their online interactions? Is it a way to showcase their wit and comedic skills, or is there something deeper at play? According to Caleb Warren, using humor is part of online discourse, and human discourse, more generally. “I’m not sure that there is more humor in comments than in initial posts, but there is a fair amount of humor in both. I suspect that it is often easier to create humor in a comment than it is in an original post because people can use the initial post as a prompt, much like how it is easier to generate humor in response to an ongoing in-person conversation than it is to create humor in a soliloquy (e.g., stand-up comedy).”

Under a minute ... if walking around the Earth at the South Pole ... a little longer around the Equator.
And I read this comment at the pace and style of Monster mash.
Load More Replies...Here is how : Circum of Earth=24,901 miles ÷ 5,280 feet= Godzilla 93 foot strides in a normal stalking gate.at a movie established speed of an incredible 73.7 MPH. (Based on his North South run through Tokoyo alone.) An average time must be factored for water. His noted swimming speed is 261 knots per hour due to his long tail. Ratio variables for pit stops and National Army attacks from 7 different nations. Approximately one week and 3.7 days maintaining maximum speed 24 hours a day.
Sorry. The question specified walking. That means stomping across oceans, making swimming speed irrelevant. Try again.
Load More Replies...It would take around 45 hours if Godzilla was walking at 550 miles an hour, which is Godzilla running. Randy kitchens did the math for walking, see his comment above

Load More Replies...What makes a comment funny or entertaining is a subjective matter, and people may find different things amusing depending on their sense of humor. However, there are some common elements that can contribute to the humorous value of a comment. Warren shared that a person thinks a comment (or anything else) is funny when it “violates (i.e., threatens their sense of how the world should be) but also seems benign (i.e., they are okay with it)”.
The professor explained his point with some examples found on r/UnderratedComments, “consider the comment responding to ‘What would you do if you found me in your fridge?’: ‘we dropped a fridge off a 45m tower.’ The violation in this is clear: you should not drop a fridge off a large building, especially if there is a living person inside it. I suspect that the girl in the post did not think that this comment was funny, but there are two reasons why other readers might find this aggression benign: (1) no one actually dropped a fridge with a human being in it off a building; and (2) many readers are frustrated with influencers’ continual cries for attention and feel they deserve to be taken down a peg.”

Haha! Does anyone see the "That's a moray" headline under the picture?
"When an eel goes inside, makes you poop, nearly die, that's a moray!" In case you missed it. Bonus points for that nonsense.
"Gary, what they did to me was horrible. Not sure where I was but there was loads of sweetcorn"
The alt text on that image was better than the comment - that's a moray 🎶
This isn't actually uncommon. Though there is no evidence it was ever a 'country' cure for constipation, as an excuse it's been around for a couple of decades after one guy claimed it. Oh, and eels up the a*s has a good chance of killing you as they try to rip their way through and out.
Especially if you use a moray eel like in the picture, as those guys are HUGE.

THIS HAS BEEN DONE!!!! But, it's called the MEATRIX. Animated short that addresses how f**ked up factory farming is.
“The reply to the ‘would you rather be stranded’ post offers a different type of example. The comment, ‘I work in an Amazon fulfillment center, and I can confirm I’d rather be stranded on Mars,’ relies on two violations: (1) the context of the question makes it clear that the poll is asking about the Amazon rain forest rather than a fulfillment center, and (2) most people believe that it should not be worse to work in an Amazon fulfillment center than to be stranded on another planet. However, the first violation is benign because the word ‘Amazon’ refers to both the rain forest and the company, and the second violation is benign because it confirms most people’s belief that working conditions at Amazon are lousy.”
Caleb Warren has done a TEDx talk about what makes things funny, which you can check out here. If you want to delve deeper into this topic, Warren has also written some papers about what makes things funny, what is humorous and what is not and benign violations.

Witty comments can add a dash of humor and charm to online conversations, but do they also contribute to the overall coolness or intrigue of these interactions? Is there a relationship between the use of wit and the perception of coolness, or are these two concepts independent of each other? Warren wasn’t sure whether humorous comments make the conversations distinctly cool. “However, they certainly make people enjoy the conversation more and more likely to share it with others.” The professor shared this paper, for a richer discussion on the difference between funny and cool.

Load More Replies...In today's digital age, it's all too easy for a joke or pun to be misconstrued and cause offense. So, how can we strike a balance between using humor to entertain and respect for others' feelings? Warren answered that this is very difficult because humor occurs when a comment violates a person’s sense of how things should be. “Thus, part of what makes something funny can easily offend, disgust, or otherwise upset people. There are different ways of creating humor (e.g., different types of violations), and some are more likely to offend than others. Aggressive humor, such as comments that try to evoke laughs by making fun of a specific person or group of people (e.g., throwing a fridge with a human in it off a building), is more likely to lead to offense. Other comments, however, use a more positive form of humor. For instance, the reply to ‘people who don’t eat their clock with a fork’ (‘it doesn’t matter what utensil you use. Either way, it’s still time-consuming’) creates humor by violating a communication norm to use language clearly by evoking the two meanings with ‘time-consuming’. Comments like this are less likely to offend, although it’s also kind of making fun of the person who posted the earlier comment about eating clocks, so it could possibly still offend the person who made the comment.”

Honestly, ik no one will share this opinion, but the Doom soundtracks are really boring. From what I've seen it's just the same notes playing on repeat straight for like 1:20-3:00 without singing and if it singing it's still just a constant tune and vocals
Well the soundtrack made separately sucks pretty bad since the songs were made to go with the sound in the gameplay and would clip together depending on what you do. The people who made the soundtrack did it with no co-operation with the game devs

Physical and psychological pain follow the same paths and are located in the same place in the brain, so if you sense that the ominous-sounding "we need to talk" will lead to a breakup, take a painkiller first.
At least the brain likes to process the newer pain first, so that breakup will make you forget about your headache for a little while!
Load More Replies...That's the reason topical ointments like Bengay work. They agitate the nerves, so the pain message is diminished. They don't do anything FOR the pain, they just stink up the whole house.
