  • The fact that we are having to discuss the brain dead mechanics to even understand his “joke” tells you how fucking stupid and unfunny he is, jokes have a certain flow of logic even “lol so random” jokes function on subvertting ones expectations and breaking the logical followup.

    Now story time, when I was 3 or 4 I was trying to figure out how jokes worked because I am just that autistic. As a result of this I was given the overly simple answer of set up and punchline, this resulted in me creating the oh so glorious “What’s a ponytail in a dress? A joke” which only makes sense to my younger self. That is still funnier than any joke Musk has ever made.

    Also on a vaguely related note when I was trying to figure out slapstick I apparently slammed a metal folding chair into my uncle’s back and then poured a bottle of water onto his face, I do not remember this unlike the verbal “joke” all the male boomers that were present at said event remember it though. The wonders of alcohol and heatstroke, which I was suffering from the effects of cause I thought a bottle of hard cider was apple juice.



  • I blame the French, before them damned near every Germanic society had a broadly democratic tribal or clan based system. Then the French combined that with Roman autocratic systems and somehow created an early version of Divine right of kings and a form of proto absolutism. Yes I am glossing over a tonne of shit but compare the French estates to the clusterfuck that was the Holy Roman Diet and it’s like comparing a member of the English Royal guard to a Somalian pirate.
