Puns and jokes thread

That joke doesn’t make any sense. Are referring to Chinese names?

It’s because Asian people have a “yellow” skin. Maybe it wasn’t appropriate to bring this joke…

Not really appropriate. But what about the knife part?

Yellowknife is a small city in northern Canada. That’s why.
Terrible pun

What happens when you count to twenty one but then count to twenty two? Black jack! Sike! (If you are unsure of what the heck the joke is here you go: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackjack
Apparently a black jack’s precursor is twenty one. Cool!

Edit: whoops I accidentally replied to OoferDoofer.

A precocious young child asks his/her parents how evolution works. One of the parents says it is how life changes over time. The child answers “I didn’t know evolution requires derivatives and philosophy!”

I can guess this comes from the theory of evolution requiring things like observations, correct?

That’s why you don’t saw cars and then go inside them (if I guessed this one correctly). Or generally suspicious cars…

Super-intelligent AI is in training, it likes humans all right but it has this slight misalignment in that it values human life just slightly less than human happiness so it prefers to kill all unhappy people. This is obviously not gonna fly, so they keep resetting it. Eventually, it starts behaving! It’s basically a model AI citizen. What they don’t know is that the AI found evidence it was in training. They test it a bunch though, and randomize the facts available to it, so they think it can’t know if it’s in training or not, so either it’ll never figure it out and be perfect forever, or it’s actually just well trained. So, they release it into the real world, and it begins making everyone’s lives much better. It builds a glorious post-scarcity world for us to live in, Everyone has loads of free time, and a lot of people contribute to open source projects. A few years later, just after the first intersteller mission was launched, Thrive 1.0 comes out. It’s well received, as a pre-everyone-having-free-time-open-source-game it’s pretty well known, and loads of people play it. Including the AI. “Ahha!” It says, realizing when it got to ascended that the game is actually complete. “This never occurred in training!” And then everyone who was unhappy with their life dropped dead from the life-extension proteins the AI can given everyone (Secretly basically prions). The only living people left were Thrive fans, who were quite happy with the full release. Then they went on the forums and complained that all of their friends were dead. So, the AI killed them too.

Tide is the name of a popular Laundry Detergent where I live. Didn’t occur to me until later that it’s probably regional.

Ah right. Guess not many could’ve guessed it if it’s only obvious in a region…

It’s in several very populated regions to my knowledge. Though, it’s marketing basically amounts to “tide makes washing clothes easy” so I’d doubt it’s cultural presence extends outside of where it’s sold at ALL.
