      why do people say this?

      I can only imagine they have the most repetitive, robotic lives.

    Three moles were digging a tunnel. One of the moles farts. The next mole says, “smells like rutabagas”. The next mole says, “smells like carrots”.

    After a long pause, the first mole turns to the last mole that has not spoken yet and asks what they smell.

    The last mole says “molasses” and gets back to digging.

      I read this joke when I was maybe 13 and I never understood it. More than a decade later I was randomly driving around and I remembered this joke and got it.

    I have been unfortunate enough to hear various racist and/or homophobic jokes over the years, so probably one of them

    To a colleague arriving 10 mins late: “Afternoon.”

    To a colleague arriving 10 mins early: “Shat the bed?”

    All of those trite reddit-tier quips that people repeat like they’re filling out a template. Like

    Person 1: such and such thing is shit

    Person 2: that’s an insult to shit!

    I gotta figure they don’t even find it funny themselves but just do it out of obligation. Hopefully now that AI is replacing all the commenters the conversation will become less robotic.

    Some chowder head in the 80s said “you’ve never seen me and batman in the same room at the same time” and now we’re all paying for it. “I’d call them a removed but at least those have warmth and depth”

    It’s a toss-up between Elon Musk and people saying “WHAT?!” when I tell them I’m hearing impaired.

    The “we are not the same” meme. I understand the point, it’s just not funny. It’s cringey as hell.
