That's nonsense. There are infinite possible jokes.
- hackernewds 5y agoAnd memory is limited. What if one were a forgetful god. What if that is _already_ the case? Possibly where the Alzheimer's patients are told the same joke over and over, and it does bring them joy, comes to mind.
- amelius 5y agoThis is not true. Jokes that take more than (say) an hour to tell are boring and thus not really jokes.
- scoofy 5y agoLiterally there are about the same number of atoms in the universe as the number of shuffles in a 52 card deck (52!). The number of topics that can be played with in a joke is beyond even this limited number. Remember, jokes about tinder/grinder dates didn’t even exist a decade ago.
