I left /c/Risa because the moderator there was letting his own personal feelings color rules, removing posts that violated no clearly written rules, and creating new rules without even running it past the community or asking how they feel about it.

The moderator of this community is guilty of that same behavior.

I'll be over on !whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works.

The original version of this was a little kid, not a grandpa. I've seen this a few times now, changing a small part of an old post to make it make less sense, is this a thing now?

This is how jokes have been ever since humans stated telling jokes

So a dog walks into a bar...

Exactly repeating a 42 word post and changing 1 word?

Verbal joke is the og meme, so yes.

Worse, it doesn't only happen to jokes: This Video Will Make You Angry

A significant number of people seem to have fully embraced the nonsensical "tee hee, I'm so random" scene kid humor from 2004 MySpace. This one is pretty mild. It gets worse and less funny.

The worst one in memory is when my cousin said out of nowhere (to a group of us discussing something), "Haha, yeah, and then he drives his car through a window and lands in a Hot Pocket."

He deserved the crickets.

Edit: I actually generated some AI images a few months back to try to illustrate whatever the fuck he was talking about.

Those images are great.
