I came up with an original "dad joke" a few years ago that I was incredibly proud of, posted it to Reddit and got many upvotes. Then later on I started to realize that everything on Reddit was reposts and I thought to myself: "wait...what if my joke was a repost?" so I googled it and sure enough somebody else had already invented it before me. I'm about 95% sure that I really hadn't heard the joke before and that I really did think of it on my own, but it was kind of obvious so there was plenty of opportunity for it to be discovered independently any number of times.
- Angostura 7y agoYou can't just post that without telling us the joke. C'mon! - unless it might dox you :)
- chasingthewind 7y agoYeah that's why I was hesitant. The joke hadn't been posted so many times on Reddit that I was comfortable sharing it :P But here's another dad joke to tide you over! Did you know that Sir Isaac Newton had a brother that sold frut? Yeah his name was Fig. :D
