Since its creation in 2017, the Technically The Truth subreddit has been steadily growing and becoming a powerhouse of more than 2M truthers, as the moderators like to call them. Members of this community share the hilarious comebacks, obnoxiously literal puns, and dad-joke-worthy replies they come across online, and the forum has become a great source of entertainment for many. After all, who doesn’t enjoy letting out a few genuine laughs?
There’s a particular type of wordplay that gives a joke the dubious distinction of being a dad joke, Stanley Dubinsky, an English professor at the University of South Carolina and co-author of the book Understanding Language Through Humor, told The Atlantic.
You see, polysemy (from the Greek meaning "many" and "signs") is the coexistence of several meanings or uses for the same word. "Most jokes rely on some semantic ambiguity or grammatical ambiguity," Dubinsky said. "The things people call 'dad jokes' are the ones where the ambiguity is crushingly obvious."

One reason why parents are fond of such clean and simple humor is that they feel some amount of loss and nostalgia when they see their kids grow up. "You don’t have children anymore," he explained. "One way to get back to that time is to go back to the stupid old jokes they used to think were funny."
Yet, this phrase is often associated with immature or sometimes even dense jokes. "One of the things about language is that we judge the sophistication of our peers by how sophisticated they are with use of language. Your smartest friends can use deadpan sarcasm, and your smartest friends can get it when you’re deadpanning sarcasm," Dubinsky explained. So when a person is telling a lame joke, the listeners are often quite disapproving.

The last outsider who set foot on North Sentinel Island was an American missionary in 2018 and he was promptly killed by the locals.
Uhh
Even if some say that such humor is childish, naive, and sometimes very cringe-worthy, it’s hard to deny that it’s also very charming. Dad jokes are usually clean, quite generic, brief, and require no additional context or explanation. When the English professor tells someone a dad joke, "you know that no matter what I say, my joke won’t hurt you—and I want everybody to get my joke, so I’m going to make it so stunningly obvious that anybody can get it."

Looks like stars can look buff in movies but have casual body irl, it can help with body image to realize that. Those picture are not shamefull for him.
Somebody That I Used To Knowwwwww
Yeah, but his one song touched the soul of the world for a while, so if he never does anything else, it's still more than most of us will ever do.
Plus that guy made more money off one song than Ive probably made working all my life.
Load More Replies...He still makes music, it's just that his usual taste is more niche and unlike the one hit wonder.
I don't understand the hatred for the one hit wonder. Someone brings joy to thousands or millions with a single act and its viewed as a bad thing. Its like telling someone they suck because they gave a kid a free ice cream cone but didn't give them one for their other hand too.
I wholeheartedly agree!! These people do more for the world's happiness with that one-hit--wonder than most of us combined. I think, it's just envy. Oh,, and let's not forget the artists that are starting to be succesfull and are then accused of 'selling out' -_- As if life isn't hard enough for people working in the entertainment biz. So annoying.
Load More Replies...The cover by Walk Off the Earth, where all 5 band members play this on a single guitar together, was really beautiful, better than the original, IMO!
That guy is part of a band with 4 or 5 studio albums plus he released 3 solo albums. If you "used to know" him means that you really listen only to what's "trendy"...
He is a member of a band, whose name nobody will ever care about, that he went back to after this. If i had to guess, bandmate was like, "You think you can make it without us?!" Point made.
John is going to the best of we can don't want yes to her sister 🙂 and you are you ready for me ☺️ we will be that way too 220
Could you write that in readable and understandable English, please?
Load More Replies...Since when is paying royalties for the use of a tune, agreed upon upfront, considered plagirism? Even your own source doesn't call it that. This is how false facts spread and the reason why we should start teaching media literacy.
Load More Replies...Dubinsky explained that people might be attracted to this type of humor since they want to receive a momentary break from their everyday burdens. After all, laughter is a great form of stress relief.
Just by letting out a chuckle or two, you can quickly notice several short-term benefits. A good laugh can stimulate your heart and other vital organs, and enhance your intake of oxygen-rich air. Plus, it activates and then relieves your stress response, leaving you feeling calm and at ease. Not to mention that it can also stimulate circulation and help your muscles relax, which reduces some of the physical symptoms of stress.

If you catch yourself giggling on every occasion you possibly can, you might also notice some long-term effects, like a stronger immune system. Laughter is also famous for making the body produce natural painkillers, so it’s a great way to relieve pain. Then, you have your naturally improved mood: "Many people experience depression, sometimes due to chronic illnesses. Laughter can help lessen your stress, depression, and anxiety and may make you feel happier. It can also improve your self-esteem," according to Mayo Clinic Staff.

Like that time I asked that German girl out. I asked what time I should meet her. She said nine. I waited until 10, but she never showed up.😢
