minus-squareHikermick@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up24arrow-down1·3 months agoAmerica is a big place. Sarcasm isn’t popular everywhere. Here in the rustbelt it’s king. Other than one 9/11 meme I saw yesterday I’m not too aware of any 9/11 jokes, can say the same for Hiroshima & Nagasaki
minus-squareglimse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up24arrow-down1·3 months ago“The record for speedreading was broken by multiple New Yorkers in 2001 when they sped through over 100 stories in under a minute” That’s the only 9/11 oneliner I can think of but there’s a lot of joking about it in general
minus-squaregamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·3 months agoI saw a video on YT Yesterday with 2 decent 9/11 jokes: “Saying you’re a a COD Zombies fan is like saying you’re a 9/11 fan, people ask if you mean before or after it all came crashing down” Which sets up later: “I apologize for that 9/11 joke. I know for many people it can be shocking, and then the second one hits” followed be a few seconds of silence Which legitimately got an out loud chuckle out of me
